Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging.
By Louisa Edwards
As many of you are probably aware this months theme is "growing up" and boy do I have the perfect film to review, yes you guessed it, Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging, this British coming-of-age film is ideal for a girls night in.
Fourteen year old Georgia Nicolson (played by Georgia Groome) is portrayed as a 'typical teenage girl' who goes through problems that everyone of us has had to deal with at one point in our life e.g friend drama, bitchy girls, body insecurities and of course boy problems! Add the stress of having to plan a sweet 15 that's better than your rivals sure does make an interesting and hilarious movie!
Another factor that makes the film a thousand times better is seeing Robbie, played by the beautiful Aaron Johnson, topless, yes ladies topless! At the beginning of the movie Robbie doesn't see Georgia as potential girlfriend material, but by the end their friendship had blossomed into a relationship. This doesn't mean they didn't have their bumps along the road, no thanks to Dave 'the laugh', granny pants, Slutty Linsey and the threat of moving half way across the world for the sake of her fathers job.
Even though I have much love for this film, that doesn't mean that that there isn't any 'cringe' moments because believe me, there's a few. Some of these moments include the frequent use of fake teen slang including 'boy lingual', 'nunga nungas' and the quote "Beyond the valley of sad city" which I will admit I have used on a number of occasions, don't judge!
I give Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging:
4/5 STARS
