Firth looks like he's changing his mind about being in this movie WHILE the cameras are running.

Every scene is so frantic and desperate to make you laugh, to be clever, to be naughty and none of it worked.
A.O. Scott, At the Movies

Anyone with a fondness for the midcentury cartoons and films that inspired this scrappy comedy will appreciate the latest trip to the titular British boarding school.
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Rotten
A stunningly witless revival of the infamous British film series about a girls' boarding school.
