User Review

Not bad; a good laugh

Rating: 6/10


It's really hard to rate St Trinian's 2. On the one hand, it is lively,
sharp, and amusing, but on the other hand, the plot is a little
disappointing. The film itself borders on the 'absolutely surreal'
(mind you, it's a bit ironic to claim this against St Trinian's school,
eh??), which somehow, I thought, made it a bit awkward to watch.

As ever, the stereotypes of teenage schoolgirls is strong, which adds
to the overall enjoyment of the film, and as you can expect with your
typical British comedy film, there are the odd pieces of play-on-words
humour which you have to be quick to catch up on. Also watch out for
references to famous films or other popular-culture references (you'll
understand what I mean when you watch it).

(And before you ask: It's generally clean humour. No toilet humour/fart
jokes.)

Thus, I give this a rating of 6/10, mainly because of its overall
cleverness and entertainment value. Would I recommend it? Yes I would;
it's about time a comedy film had real humour in it, even if it is
masked in a very bizarre plot.
