This seems more like the St. Trinian’s I remember. What surprised me in the first of these was how many younger girls were in the cast. Here, most of the action involves cast whose average age probably rivals Grease for people playing schoolkids. There are still a handful of little ones, but this one clearly makes a move towards the “kinky schoolgirl” thing the series is perhaps unfortunately known best for. There’s some amusement as the girls hit the road and travel across Europe but this section is really a far too short montage when it could have made the whole movie. I was surprised how different the story was from the first movie – it would be easy with such a perfect set up to just bring in more girls and create more mischief in school bounds for 90 minutes. Having watched all four of the originals in one sitting, however, I must say this is one of, if not the, weakest.
