St Trinian's: The Legend of Fritton's Gold

This article is more than 14 years old

Based on Ronald Searle's cartoons about gangsters in gymslips at a louche girls' public school, this second romp (or is that rump?) from the revived and updated comic franchise is rather better than the first one. Or perhaps it was due to my low expectations that I found it endurable. 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.
