Lost in Film UK Story/Plot - Annabelle Fritton (Riley) is dumped in the school of mishaps and mischief by her father. Making the obvious new girl impression and feeling out of place she rightly wants to leave. However she stays and it is a choice she will eventually be happy with.The school is going bankrupt and Annabelle's aunt, Headmistress Camilla Fritton (Everett) is facing having to close the school down. But the girls lead by Head girl Kelly Jones (Arterton) hatch a plan to steal a painting and sell it to Annabelle's father. This saving the school, but can they pull off their most daring and mischievous plan to date.My verdict - A wonderfully funny and drama filled showing. You will be on the edge of your seat with the comedic mishaps and dizziness along with the suspense as the girls take to their mission.

Ben Larson This film is a lot more interesting if you are very familiar with Colin Firth, as it references some of his roles (Pride and Prejudice, and Girl with a Pearl Earring). There are scenes in the film that are exact duplicates, and the dog being named Mr. Darcy refers to his role.Of course the headmistress (Rupert Everett) is a dead ringer for a certain Duchess.I enjoyed Russell Brand as Flash, and I just loved Holly and Cloe Mackie as Tara and Tania. They were adorable.It was a enjoyable light comedy. A bit more edge and it would have been great.

eagleeyedcritic Funny and very silly.But I wouldn't let young kids or young teens watch it.It might give the wrong idea.Plus there was some disturbing scenes that were made out to be funny.Abuse made out to be cool.I didn't care for the makeover with garters showing.This is not a message I'd want kids to take on.I especially liked the relationship between the head mistress and Colin Firth. Ha ha! Good for a laugh.Pure silly mindless entertainment.

gradyharp ST. TRINIAN'S seems like an awful bust, unless the extremes of slapstick and borderline taste are your bailiwick. It is a film that comes across as a cartoon that never can get out off the page - what one would expect when the 'writer' is a committee (Piers Ashworth, Jamie Minoprio, Nick Moorcroft, Ronald Searle (!), and Jonathan M. Stern) and the direction is shared (Oliver Parker and Barnaby Thompson). St Trinian's is 'school' for dysfunctional girls (nerd to goth) run by a wild headmistress Camilla Fritton (Rupert Everett in bucktoothed drag plus fuddy English gent's clothes as Carnaby Fritton). The school is a major disaster zone and one Geoffrey Thwaites (Colin Firth) is sent to correct the issues. The threat of bankruptcy spins its own dire consequences and the 'inmates' of the school find a way to correct that. The major surprise is not in the plot but instead in the fact that some of Britain's finest actors agreed to participate in this mess: Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, Lena Headey, Toby Jones, Anna Chancellor, Celia Imre, etc etc could have their choice of about any film casting and win Oscars and kudos instead of boodos. It gives pause...Grady Harp
