The 2007 British film St Trinian’s, starring Jodie Whittaker and Celia Imrie, is currently popular on Netflix. Based on the classic comic strips by Ronald Searle, the movie tells the story of a group of mischievous schoolgirls who try to rescue their school from financial trouble.
When the education minister tries to shut down St. Trinian’s, the students hatch a wild plan to pull off a million-dollar heist – and earn a million detentions in the process.
The movie St Trinian’s is currently a popular hit on Netflix UK, ranking as the fifth most-watched film since it was added last Friday. The follow-up film is also available to stream, but isn’t currently gaining as much attention.
From the 1950s to the 1980s, five St Trinian’s movies were made. These films were a hit with viewers and centered around the students at a chaotic boarding school led by its unconventional headmistress, Miss Millicent Fritton.
The 2007 version of the film features a talented group of actors, such as Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, Lena Headey, Anna Chancellor, Stephen Fry, Mischa Barton, and Toby Jones.

The film also stars Gemma Arterton, Talulah Riley, Juno Temple, Lily Cole, Paloma Faith, and Tamsin Egerton.
Okay, so the critics really didn’t love this movie – it’s sitting at 32% on Rotten Tomatoes after 41 reviews. But honestly? That doesn’t seem to matter! People on Netflix are still watching it, which is awesome to see. I’m glad it’s getting a chance even if the critics weren’t fans.
According to The Times, watching Colin Firth being playfully mocked is a delightful experience. The review praised how his entire acting career – both in movies and on stage – was cleverly and humorously parodied.
According to the Village Voice, the film is a cheerfully calculated attempt to modernize a classic for younger audiences. They describe it as a delightfully silly version of High School Musical, but with more sophisticated characters and a more complex plot. If you approach it with a good attitude, you can enjoy its endearing flaws.
According to Variety, the movie doesn’t have particularly memorable conversations, but it manages to stay engaging by quickly switching between characters in brief scenes and adding music throughout.
According to the New York Daily News, fans of classic mid-century cartoons and movies will enjoy this new, energetic comedy set at the famous British boarding school.
St Trinian’s is streaming on Netflix.
