St Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold (2009 Oliver Parker, Barnaby Thompson)

Despite some amusingness involving pirates and David Tennant, film is quite a lot worse then the original, with a downright silly plot. Jodie Whittaker has been reduced to a nonsense character. Some of the cooler girls (Cole, Faith) have been lost; even Gemma Arterton only has a (good) cameo. Scene where choirboys start rapping is just embarrassing. Still, at least we still have Firth, Riley etc newly joined by Zawe Ashton (Fresh Meat), an uncomfortable Sara Harding and Montserrat Lombard.

Also is nicely lit by David Higgs (Indian Summers) and edited by Emma Hickox.
