St Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold
21 June 2013
Warning: Spoilers
The first film with an all star cast and a couple up and coming young talents was reasonably good fun, I heard that this sequel was rated terribly by the critics, I was certainly willing to give it a chance anyway. Basically Annabelle Lealla Fritton (Talulah Riley), the Head Girl of St. Trinian's and niece of headmistress Miss Camilla Dagey Fritton (Rupert Everett) has found a valuable ring, and wealthy philanthropist Lord Piers Pomfrey (David Tennant) wants it for some reason. Miss Fritton explains that in 1598 it was stolen by Pomfrey's pirate ancestor by Fritton's ancestor, this ring is part of a hidden treasure, and they will be able to find it as long as they find the other ring double to put them together. The mischievous and unruly girls, including receptionist Beverly (Jodie Whittaker), the eco Celia (Juno Temple), posh totty Chelsea (Tamsin Egerton), rebellious rock star Roxy (Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding), rude girl Bianca (Fresh Meat's Zawe Ashton), emo Zoe (Montserrat Lombard) and the geek Lucy (Ella Smith), are rejoined by former Head Girl now MI7 agent Kelly Jones (Gemma Arterton), and former Education Minister Geoffrey Thwaites (Colin Firth), and Miss Fritton's former lover. Having followed all the clues they do in the end find the treasure, but it is not gold or other riches, it is the truth that William Shakespeare was the pseudonym of a woman, Pomfrey tries to steal this secret, but of course he caught by the police and the evidence is destroyed, and the everyone parties to celebrate. Also starring Toby Jones as Bursar, Celia Imrie as Matron, Katherine Parkinson as Physics Teacher and David Armand as Police Officer. There is not much I want to say about this film really, despite having good names in the cast the acting is worthless, even Everett in drag and Ashton being likeably gobby, the action sequences are ridiculous, the jokes did not make me laugh one bit, and the plot is ridiculous, it was just a crap comedy sequel I don't think the kids or any of the family should bother with. Poor!
