Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging [PG]

When you’re fourteen, the most important thing is to be attractive and have a boyfriend. For Georgia Nicholson, the ticket to true happiness is to have the new boy at school, Robbie, as her man. The only downside is that Robbie already has a girl; Georgia’s rival, the beautiful, blonde, and perfect Lindsay. So, backed up by her girlfriends, the Ace Gang, Georgia sets her mad schemes in motion to prove her maturity and win the boy of her dreams.

This film is Bridget Jones’ Diary, but for teenagers. It’s all about the “men are from Mars and women are from Venus” trip. Admittedly it’s very quirky and very romantic, an adorable little film.

On the verge of turning fifteen, woman-to-be Georgia Nicholson decides that it’s high time she took control of her life and become a mature adult. What’s the way to do that? Get a boyfriend. So, as soon as she recovers her breath from swooning, Georgia sets out to win the new “sex-god” at school, Robbie. The only downside is that Robbie already has a girl; Georgia’s archrival, the beautiful, blonde, busty, and perfect Lindsay. So, with her girlfriends the Ace Gang to back her up, Georgia sets a series of mad schemes in motion so that she can prove her maturity and win the boy of her dreams.

This was a very cute little movie shaped by a quirky and somewhat awkward romance that will cause you to groan, laugh and sigh continuously.

Georgia Groome stars as Georgia and she was absolutely brilliant. Very colourful, dramatic, enthusiastic, and everything in between. The perfect Georgia. I have to draw attention to her, not only because she was the star, but because she delivered such a wonderful performance. You go girl!

The film has a cute little cast of familiar faces including Aaron Johnson, Karen Taylor, Alan Davies, and Eleanor Tomlinson. Backed by a wonderfully clever and cute script and based on the best-selling series of books by Louise Rennison, Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging is a wonderful coming-of-age romantic comedy about what it takes to fit it and how much it means to stand out. As I mentioned before, it’s Bridget Jones’ Diary, only for fourteen year olds.
