Movie Review: "St. Trinian's"

     Today we watched a fun and silly movie called "St. Trinian's".  St. Trinian's is a girls' boarding school, where the rules are lax and the headmistress (portrayed by Rupert Everett, who also plays her brother in the film), is not what society would consider "ideal". 

     The girls, who are all rebels in one way or another, learn that the Minister of Education (Colin Firth) wants to close down their school.  They also learn that the bank is about to foreclose on the property.  A ridiculously improbable but hilarious plot ensues, in which the girls try to steal a priceless painting, "The Girl With the Pearl Earring", from an art museum.  They also have to try to win an intellectual quiz show, but can they pull it off without cheating?

     The humor is a little dark but decidedly British and so much fun! There was not much language but there is a scene at the end where Colin Firth is nude for a few seconds. This would probably be best for teens and older to enjoy. It is, in fact, rated PG-13 and runs for 97 minutes.
