I saw this on DVD recently. It's been a while since I've seen trivial pointless nonsense like this, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought it had a fresh, lively, up beat tempo and a decent soundtrack which combined well with the wacky British historical story and traditional St. Trinian's antics. It's also very witty at times but you need to listen carefully and read between the lines a bit. Over all, I found the film very entertaining, and will now seek out the original movie, which if the critics are to be believed, should be even better! Thoroughly recommended.

Enjoyable enough follow-up albeit strains and forces humor where it does not exist

Juvenile and corny as all hell. I can't see how anyone that isn't a pre-teen girl would like this. That demographic should have a pretty good tone with it, I'd assume though...

Strident, clumsy and pointless.

This jaw-droppingly hopeless sequel deserves to be packed off for a one-way exchange trip to Columbine.

Cheap, ramshackle entertainment that's nevertheless imbued with affection.

Rated: 2/5

Sunday Times (UK)

It's another panto for 10-year-old girls, in which any given scene could - with only the addition of canned laughter - pass for something from children's television.

Rated: 2/5

Observer (UK)

The 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.

Total Film

A film that flails about wildly in search of at least one half-decent joke. Tragically, the closest it gets is having a dog hump Colin Firth's leg.
