Trivia:

There is many references to "Pride and Prejudice" (1995). For example: Fritton's dog is Mr D'Arcy, one of the girls mentions Colin Firth, Colin Firth dripping in water after falling into the unused fountain and Stephen Fry asking the question "Which book was originally titled "First Impressions" (A: Pride and Prejudice).

Goofs:

Continuity: When Flash comes to see what the girls are selling the number plate on the car says GU06 SBX, but when he leaves after the girls have given the car a 'paint job' the number plate is BN 0413.

Quotes:

Miss Fritton: Ah, Ms Bagstock, your girlish laughter hit me like the lash of a hunting crop.

Movie Connections:

References "Mission: Impossible" (1966)

Soundtrack:

Defenders of Anarchy

Excellent film, I'm going twice!

Very good adaptation, went with my family and all ages were laughing.

Rupert Evveret plays 2 very different characters and succeeds well in both.

Colin Firth is a lovely as ever fitting into a role that suits him very well and a certain scene from a Jane Austin adaptation is resurrected.

The newcomers who make up the majority of the school children are superb, not only do they achieve in acting well beyond their years. They provided as much entertainment as the other more experienced cast members.

The most surprising cast member of them all was Russell Brand. I went into the film with a despise of the man and thinking he would ruin the film for me, but he was actually pretty good.

In all I found St Trinian's to be a good film and definitely one for teenage girls to watch, but don't worry if you get dragged along to I guarantee you'll leave laughing.

Don't forget to listen the song in the credits!!!
