The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

What a stupid movie. lousy attempt of the quirkiness, straightforward, dark humor, and profoundness that 2000's The Royal Tenenbaums or A Series of Unfortunate Events movie or Mean Girls achieved. It could have have been as profound as 1990s' The Craft even if it decides to be a tweenie version of that dark humor. The intro scene of the movie looks like the Burn Book in Mean Girls and so are the cliques...welp i guess a lot of movies with cliques started since Mean Girls...welp hello to those who conceptualized this film...I hope you learned your lesson, and the lessons imposed in the last few years about society. And to not have a myopic view as related to the educational system's values; even if it is satire, it still has to be more accurate with irony for it to be funny. From a commenter 10 years after that aughts film.And oh yeah...advancing out of sexual favors to men, drugs, sexism, violence, cheating aren't cute just because girls in skimpy uniform are doihg them.

I struggled watching it at first, I missed a whole lot of what was actually said, and I refuse to use subtitles on the virgin flight. I felt that the characters made too little impression on me, they're not likable, and the whole thing was kinda over the top simply for the sake of being over the top. Then, a bit before nearing the halfway mark came that song that beautifully fitted in with the theme and tied everything up with a nice bow.Uh-oh, we're in trouble Something's come along and it's burst our bubbleAnd it is just so damn cute that it made me see the whole flick in a positive new light! There is an absolute wealth of detail. The film oozes surprises popping up in the backgrounds. There is such an absolute lot going on here, the flick gets an A+ for effort, heart and spirit. The pupils are a deranged lot. Everybody is busy as beavers being deeply anti-social, except those at the wrong end of the stick.After the song warmed my heart, I was more in tune with the movie. These misfits have to be cheered for! And the subtitles were, of course, finally used, and there aren't complaints from me anymore. Movie has a cult following, and I can see why.A better title : GIRLS TOGETHER. Or ST. TRINIAN'S GIRLS TOGETHER. I just realized how much it would be misunderstood. But meant by me in the sense of 'standing together overcoming all opposition'... Movie has a cartoonish* style with a deluge of over the top characters. Including Rupert Everett in a dual role, which is kinda ludicrous to the extreme, a whole troop of little savage girls, some of them horrid little white-faced Goths (or Satanists?) :) and bigger girls wielding hockey sticks like deadly weapons. Also a little leg-humping dog. *Inspired by the works of Robert SearleBy the way, just learned scant minutes ago re ST. TRINIAN'S BATTLE OF THE SEXES, and it rather sounds like a remake of ALL I WANNA DO.

I love this film! It's mainly a girlie film but boys won't say no! It's so funny and I think that there were a lot of very good actors in this, especially Gemma Arterton. It had a great story-line and it seemed to flow nicely. I think that the 12 age rating was suitable but I think the 15 Ireland rating was a bit harsh as there are a few sex references and the girls do dress very tarty, but it's all for the comedic effect. As soon as this came out on DVD it was on my shelf. This is one of my favorite films ever and anyone will like it, even my parents did! Overall I would say that St. Trinians is a funny film, ideal for girlie sleepovers. I would rate it 9/10 and say that it is suitable for anyone 10-11+.
