No gold here

St Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold (2009)

Directed by Oliver Parker and Barnaby Thompson this sequel stars Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, David Tennant and Talulah Riley. Girls from the worst behaved school in the country take on misogynists in the hunt for pirate gold.

The plot for this film is it's weakest element by far, focusing too much on the adult characters and being a pretty disinteresting investigation. Adding a feminist or anti-misogynist element to the story is a good idea but is never really taken far enough or considered seriously. Maybe it was decided to let the adult cast dominate as the cast of students is not as strong this time around but they don't get much chance for growth in the script which does not help matters.


2/5
