A ridiculous romp through the clicks of high school via British Public school cliches. Silly, funny, Monty Python-esque humor, wrapped in hilarious misogynistic Jokes. So over the top that is beyond silly, and comes back to being funny again. If you don't want to think, you love British culture, and just feel like eating popcorn and being entertained for an hour, this is your movie!
It is wonderful to see British comedy such as this. To me this really hit the spot and was just what I needed to cheer myself up.
How can you go wrong with a cast such as this? Colin Firth, David Tennant and Rupert Everett all coming together with a cast of sensational young girls.
OK, the plot veers towards the ridiculous but what would you expect from this type of film? It is pure escapism performed to perfection.
I have been a fan of British comedy all my life and it is wonderful to know that the genre is still healthy and going strong.
Bring on St Trinians 3!
It would be wonderful at this time to see a revival of the old 'carry on' movies. Most of the cast of St Trinians would fit right in.
I watch movies to be entertained not necessarily educated. This movie certainly kept me entertained this evening.

Lots of things impressed me about this film. The incredibly imaginative plot takes the action into several widely varied settings, all of which I thought were painstakingly realised. The girls are a wonderfully diverse bunch and I liked the way in which, in spite of their differences, they make getting along with each other more important than their rivalries. The humour is plentiful and is nice and evenly spread over the entire film. For me the girls' comments amongst themselves provided some of the funniest moments, but there is also plenty of witty absurdity present throughout the suspenseful plot. Good use is also occasionally made of the background music (some of which I thought bore more than a passing resemblance to what I've heard in other films). In truth, I was never all that keen on early British comedies. However, I'm glad I didn't let that put me off seeing this as I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish!
This film is about a bunch of delinquent school girls hunting for the lost treasure of pirate Fritton 420 years ago.
The first "St Trinian's" was light hearted entertainment, but the same cannot be said of "St Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold". It tries too hard to parody other films, such as "Home Alone" and "The Exorcist", that it becomes a disjointed and senseless wreck. As the film progresses it becomes more ridiculous and more unfunny. Despite the good portrayals of various characters with distinct personalities, the film fails to impress.
I normally enjoy comedies, and thought the first "St Trinian's" was good entertainment. It's a pity that "St Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold" is a ridiculous drivel.

I saw this with my mum and my younger sister, amazingly we were the only people in the cinema (I'd have thought more people would have wanted to see it). In comparison to the first one, I would say that this one is more child friendly (hence the PG certificate) there is less dark and sexually orientated humour. However i didn't find it as funny (personally). However I loved it, the script is funny and the plot is ridiculous and strangely unpredictable, it also has one dance routine at a train station, which I thought was ingenious (I know, that's sad). One slight problem though- not enough of Gemma Arterton- Never mind, hopefully they'll be another sequel with lots more of her in it.

- GoofsWhen the girls are overlooking the river from outside the Globe theater, watching Lord Pomfrey escaping in his launch, Celia licks her finger and holds it up (to determine wind speed/direction) but when they steal Drakes ship and it's moving down the river, none of the sails are unfurled.
- Alternate versionsThe UK release was cut, this film was originally shown to the BBFC in an unfinished version. The BBFC advised the distributor that the film was likely to receive a 12A classification but that the requested PG classification could be obtained by making changes to four scenes, including dialogue. In particular the BBFC suggested that the distributor remove a phallically placed dart on a newspaper picture; reduce the enthusiasm with which an electric chair and death is presented; remove any imitable detail of household products being mixed to create a weapon; and remove an aggressive use of 'bitch'. When the finished version of the film was submitted these changes had been made and the film was classified PG.
