St Trinians (2007)

It's nowhere near as good as it good have been, but thats doesn't mean that that the 2007 revamp of the original St Trinians series of films doesn't have it merits.

It's a fun, mindless movie. I think it has some good lines and doesn't aim for Oscars, it just aims to please. I think it appeals to tweens and young teens more than anyone else, so yes, pleasing a very profitable market is always important. It has it's weak spots like any movie, but it has it's good spots (the hockey match is entertaining enough).

Some of the acting is atrocious. Tallulah Riley, Gemma Arterton (who proved she could act in The Disappearance of Alice Creed), Oscar winner (The Kings Speech [2010]) Colin Firth, Rupert Everett (My Best friends Wedding, Shrek 2)and Russell Brand (to star in upcoming remake of Arthur [1981]) carry the movie. But the supporting players get tiresome and bland after a while. Especially the Goth Andrea, the actress who plays her (name escapes me) was pretty weak in her role. she had some all right lines, but she could've done better.

Overall it doesn't match up to the originals but it is a good way to introduce the younger generation to them and other classics. I also think it will inspire many tweens/teens to dream about going to St Trinians. So watch out.
