The old St Trinians movies with Alistair Sim were comedy classics, sadly this remake of The Belles of St Trinians is only mediocre. St Trinians main selling-point is the casting of Rupert Everett as the headmistress of the titular school, channeling the horsey spirit of Camilla Parker Bowles, and is pretty funny.
The rest of the cast gurn their way through an anarchic, but not really comic plot involving the schoolgirls' efforts to steal a Vermeer painting from the National Gallery, which really belongs as a TV movie script, not a cinema release. Colin Firth plays a dastardly schools minister, and Russell Brand takes on George Coles old role of Flash, badly.
Overall, if you want to see a comedy, there are better out there, but it was OK, don't expect too much though!
