There are many financial problems that St. Trinian's school is facing: the 'Young Women's School'. There must be an ideal solution in one way or another in order to find the necessary additional funds or face that school closure of the bank. In order to save the school, a group of girls perform a strange task, stealing with a group of geniuses on their tails.
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.
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.
A stunningly witless revival of the infamous British film series about a girls' boarding school.
