The girls from St. Trinians are back! This time they get a lead on a mythical treasure that an ancestor to Annabelle and Camilla stole and hid. But they need to get the two rings that together hold the answer to where the treasure is hidden. This is a perfect job for the girls at St. Trinians. And even better that the competition is a woman hating secret society headed by an heir to the captain that got robbed in the first place.
St. Trinians is an entertaining movie. There aren't many times where I was laughing out loud, but it got a subtle humor that draws a smile almost constantly. Rupert Everett is just great as the headmistress Camilla, and I sincerely hope that Talulah Riley finds her way into more prominent roles.
However, this being a sequel, I don't think the adventure or plot is up to the standard set by the first one. This time it seems more like a field trip more than an almost spy thing with a spectacular burglary like last time. It also lacks the presence of Gemma Aterton who only makes a short appearance. It is entertaining, but it is not as good as the first one.
As a last remark I wish Sarah Harding finds her way into to more acting. Her character held untapped potential.
I wonder if there will be a third St. Trinians. I wouldn't mind but then they must find more adventure in their next story.
6/10 Btw, why anyone would want to "translate" this to Kick Ass Girls 2 (as they had in Sweden for example) is both incomprehensible, ignorant and totally unfair to the St Trinians tradition. I protest!
