Wanting something easy to watch on a Sunday afternoon, this seemed like a good choice. Nothing too taxing, so I wasn't really expecting a lot from it. Which was a good thing, as I didn't get much. It has a pretty basic plot that is very easy to follow - and one that you're reminded of numerous times in case you didn't catch it the last six times round. It basically involves the St Trinian's girls hunting for treasure to ensure Lord Pomfrey (Tennant) can't get his hands on it.
Other than its simplistic plot, there's nothing really wrong with St Trinian's 2. It's very unmemorable (I'm struggling to remember the plot, even with IMDBs help and numerous reminders during the movie itself, after a week), but it does have its funny moments. Without Camilla (Everett), I'd probably go so far as to say this would be rather dull. Thankfully Everett is in the movie enough to make at least some of it enjoyable - and funny.
Rating: 2.5 out of 5
