The new film St.Trinians brings you anything and everything - there's drugs, sex, tattoos, and piercings.
Based on the values of the old St Trinian's movies, the pupils save the school from getting closed down by using their genious naughty school-girl tactics.
Rupert Everett takes the dual role of the school headmistress and her brother. The Panto-Dame-like Miss Fritton is the perfect example of what we would all want in a headmistress.
Collin Firth, plays an MP planning to turn the school into a respectable institution when it nears bankruptcy. His battle with the schoolgirls over the fate of St Trinian's sees him humiliated in as many ways as possible.
Russell Brand practically plays himself - Flash Harry allies with the pupils in dodgy dealing whilst continuously trying to bed the headgirl, Kelly (played by Gemma Arterton).
The girls make the film. The First years, the Emos, the Chavs, the Geeks, and the Posh totties are all exaggerated versions of the subcultures within schools today. All of which use their unique abilities to be as rebellious as possible.
Steven Fry’s appearance as the game show host is the highlight. He delves into some narcotics just before going on air and it is absolutely hilarious!
It’s querky, it’s kooky, it’s so bad it’s good.
