st trinians 2: the legend of fritton's golf (2009)

"They're back!"
The girl's school are back, but desperate for money, and on learning that the headmistress, Miss Fritton (Rupert Everett) is related to a famous pirate, they go on the hunt for his buried treasure. Unfortunately Lord Pomfrey (David Tennent) and his misogynistic secret society are also after it...
When you thought the first remake was bad, along comes this one to make it look like a masterpiece.

st. trinians (2007)


"Girls, we have the schools reputation to uphold."
Treatened with closure by the bank, the girls of St. Trinian's, led by Kelly (Gemma Arterton), decide to steal a painting from the National Gallery and fence it to save the school. All under cover of appearing on a televised schools quiz.
An updating of the uncontrollable schoolgirls - with sly nods to various other films, from Pride and Prejudice to The Italian Job along the way. And whilst it doesn't live up to the 60's originals, this still has enough about it to merit a sequel.
