St. Trinian's is a painless onslaught of dumb gags, gratuitous cheesecake, random movie allusions, and general nonsense, but the classy cast (which includes Gemma Arterton, Toby Jones, and Stephen Fry) helps earn it a passing grade.

Firth looks like he's changing his mind about being in this movie WHILE the cameras are running.

Bad in ways that are almost endearing...

I suspect this boorish, crude, often vulgar British comedy lost a great deal of its jolly credence whilst crossing the Atlantic.

The actors are left grasping for laughs as the script tries to figure out just what it wants to be.

The result is too competent to be a travesty and too ordinary to be interesting.

Every scene is so frantic and desperate to make you laugh, to be clever, to be naughty and none of it worked.

... this Animal House of private girls schools is a motley misfit of a misfit comedy that offers outrageous antics in place of actual humor.

St. Trinian's is a hoot, but it's thrown-together, haphazard feel will only grate on the sensibilities of cineastes or aesthetic and moral prudes bent on decrying "yoof" culture -- although it's only moderately rude by contemporary standards.

A stunningly witless revival of the infamous British film series about a girls' boarding school.
October 10, 2009
A tame, glittery spoof without a brain in its head or a character worth caring about.

Anyone with a fondness for the midcentury cartoons and films that inspired this scrappy comedy will appreciate the latest trip to the titular British boarding school.
