After wealthy philanthropist Piers Pomfrey has expressed an unusual interest in a ring found by her niece Annabelle, Miss Fritton explains that she is descended from a pirate who, in 1598, stole treasure from another pirate: Pomfrey's ancestor. The location of the treasure is to be found when the ring and its double are put together. Felonious ex-pupil Kelly and Miss Fritton's former lover Geoffrey are brought in to help the school steal the second ring from the evil Pomfrey's misogynistic secret society, leading to a showdown at the Globe Theater, and an amazing revelation as to the identity of pirate Captain Fritton, as well as that of William Shakespeare.
Leave your thoughts about St Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold.
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterThe slapdash sequel doesn't tamper with the winning formula, which means lots more joyless slapstick, crude stereotypes and girls behaving very badly. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Sukhdev SandhuThe piratical-treasure story is totally hokum, but it's all peppy, whiz-bang stuff livened up no end by Talulah Riley's fetching turn as Head Girl. |
| London Evening StandardDerek MalcolmJudging by the first of the new St Trinian's films, we shouldn't have expected more than rudimentary farce from the second. |
| The Sun (UK)Alex ZaneThe report card reads: Good when applying itself but must try harder. |
| Independent on SundayNicholas BarberThis contrived sequel is an interminable, headache-inducing time-waster that never picks up any speed, weighed down as it is by far too many characters, and far too many slow-motion shots of the girls striding towards the camera. |
| GuardianXan BrooksIf there is a cinematic equivalent of a Christmas panto this season, it is surely St Trinian's 2, which is broad and ramshackle, cheap and gaudy. |
| ScotsmanMike McCahillThe girl-power subtext is about as sincere as a speech one student is given about climate change. St Trinian's remains the franchise that will show you its knickers - and say whatever you want to hear - for a pound. |
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchThe tone is broad, vulgar and exuberant and its hunt for lost treasure ends up inventively at the Globe Theatre. Schoolgirls and those who like ogling schoolgirls will enjoy it. |
| Sky CinemaTim EvansDiehard fans will lap it up...but it's difficult to see it winning any new converts. |
| Daily Mirror (UK)David EdwardsSt Trinian's 2 isn't just appalling, it's like scouring those final, last-gasp instalments of the Carry On or Confessions Of... movies looking for a laugh. |
