What critics said
Critics broadly found the sequel to be a weak, overstuffed, and unfunny comedy adventure.
What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The St Trinian's pupils organize theft and deception to recover the second ring and locate pirate treasure.
The plot connects Captain Fritton and William Shakespeare to an absurd alternate account of the treasure's history.
The girls oppose Pomfrey's misogynistic secret society through collective rule-breaking and theft.
Pirate ancestry, secret societies, the Globe Theater showdown, and gender-swapped identities are presented with exaggerated theatricality.
