I suppose I should have asked this at the time this film came out.

When this film was released last year there were an awfully large number of positive comments on BBC text that seemed to be written by "young people" but had a faux chavness to them that made me doubtful.

By all accounts this was one of the worst films ever made so I was just wondering if anyone has any inside knowledge of dubious marketing for this film?

Even the IMDB featured comment is dodgy:

Wickedly brilliant Brit flick!

I can't comment on that film but I've grown very suspicious of films critics just lately. They seem to applaud an old shit.

I've got to say though using forums is a bit sneaky. I usually base my decision on whether to watch a film these days through forums and 'word of mouth' rather than the likes of Rottentomatoes. But maybe you can't trust these anymore either.
 
I am a huge fan of Alistair Sim, Joyve Grenfell and George Cole with the original St Trinians but I must admit I quite liked this one - it was silly enough, tongue in cheek and suitably irreverant, but stayed with the original idea but brought it up to date suffieciently - Stephen Fry was really good.

I know alot of people didn't like it but it wasn't at all bad
 
I haven't yet seen it, but liked the old B&W ones - lots of good-natured irreverant fun.

there's a fine line to walk with such films - being 'saucy' without being too tawdry/pervy - cross over the line and it'd be a bad soft-porn film, keep the right side of the line and it stays as comedy.
 
I'm not of that era so had never seen the originals and I loved it this one

My mum is ** (she'd kill me for revealing her age :p) loved the originals and thought the remake was shit.

My Dad quite liked it though.
