Review of St Trinian's (2007) by Yen P — 20 Jun 2009

With this and Wild Child, you be forgiven for thinking that most British schools are actually like this. The film tries to justify the anarchic teens actions but misses the point entirely.The children don't seem to learn anything of value and simply use their bad behaviour in order to "do the right thing".

There is a lot of fun to be had as well. Everett is fantastic in a double role and Firth plays his bumbling self with an extra dash of villainy and empathy. The jokes are dated or just completely painful and the sexual undertones are sometimes plain uncomfortable.
