Starring: Rupert Everett, Colin Firth and Gemma ArtertonFor years, headmistress Camilla Fritton has encouraged the free expression of the young ladies' of St Trinian's - the most notorious institution in the country.
Unfortunately, her radical approach to teaching has done little to secure the school's finances and now old flame, Geoffrey Thwaites, the current Education Minister, is determined to dampen the girls' anarchic spirit once and for all.
Head girl Kelly and newcomer Annabelle resolve to save St Trinian's from the bulldozers by stealing Vermeer's masterpiece Girl With A Pearl Earring from the National Gallery, then fencing it to Miss Fritton's art dealer brother Carnaby.

To accomplish their daring plan, Kelly and Annabelle must unite the various factions - the Chavs, the Emos, the Geeks, the Trustafarians and the Posh Totties - and engineer the hare-brained scheme during the live televised final of the quiz show School Challenge, hosted by Stephen Fry, from the gallery's Grand Hall.
Oliver Parker and Barnaby Thompson's revival of the naughty, hockey stick-wielding minxes is a rather tame affair but frothy and undemanding fun all the same. 3/5
