    Let this delightful film touch your heart

    This film is about a teenage girl facing problems with all aspects of her life, namely school, home and love.

    The title "Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging" made me lost as to what I should expect, but the director is a quality assurance so I watched it. "Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging" is actually a heartwarming, touching and funny comedy about a girl growing up and discovering herself. It seems like a simple tale about a girl coming of age, but it is actually a touching tale about friendship, family and accepting oneself for who you are. The leads are played by unknown actors and actresses, but they are all perfectly natural in their roles. It feels like am really watching a teenage girl's life as a bystander, not a film. I am truly touched by the amazing ending. I enjoyed watching "Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging" a lot. It deserves to be watched by a wider audience. Let it touch your heart.

    I loved it!

    If you go into a film and expect something more often than not you end up not getting anything out of movie your going to see.

    I have read all of the Angus thongs books over and over again and i loved them. of course when i heard the movie was coming out i was over the moon. so on Saturday i dragged my mum out of the house for a girl afternoon of giggles. And that just what we got. the film was different to the books, but i think that movies appeal to a wider variety of people, even though it was different it was just as good.nit was full of girl humour and going back to first crushes and falling in love for the first time and all those cringe worthy moments, girls and women of all ages should love this film, its filled with laughs, embarrassment, and down right sweet moments. I give it two thumbs up! I loved it!!!!

    Smart funny look at growing up that gives hope to future of British cinema

    Georgia Nicolson (Groome) finds her perception of life changes after making a fool of herself at a party. Now she plans to grow up and no sooner does Robbie (Johnson) come to her school, and Georgia instantly falls for him.

    After the disappointing adaptation of St Trinians and the decline of British cinema generally over recent years this adaptation appeared to be screened as a mere money making hour and a half entertainment rom-com flick. But thanks to some cheeky youthful performances, a witty script and an underlining message of coming of age, this adaptation of Louise Rennison's best selling novel brings back that feeling of unashamedly British.

    In her first leading role Georgia Groome (London to Brighton) carries the film on a charismatic and charming persona that will have the teenage girls laughing their heads off. Her smart timing and in particular her reactions to situations create that comedy feeling that was an essential factor to making the narrative work.

    The film undoubtedly starts poorly. When Georgia turns up at a party, it is more than likely she will be an outcast and the fact that she gets embarrassed in front of her enemy and has to change her life is even more so. Nevertheless the comedic approach to the coming of age is likable and hardly clichéd. There is some background to her motion to change and the way she looks at adulthood as a place of comfort is as likable as her cat. The changes she goes through are sweet and realistic given today's modern outlook on the world. In this adaptation, we see many stereotypes and a very accurate look at teen language. The 'oh my god's' will have anyone laughing. The perception of girl's views on boys is a stand out moment.

    The stereotypical representations are usually never right. Either they are extremely over exaggerated, for example in controversial drama Kidulthood or they are unnoticeable passive representations such as in St Trinians. The angle on the characters in this 2008 comedy feels right, not over the top with a good sense of purpose and an underlining message of coming of age.

    Though good fun, the plot wavers into cliché at the end and doesn't quite have enough punch to believe the arrival of British comedy is truly back.

    Having never read the book, I find myself considering after enjoying the good nature of this film. Critics have said the book is funnier, and considering the amount of laughs spilled during the film, it must be an option.

    Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging

    OK, So me and a group of mates went to watch this movie, and i found it actually very funny. The film catches the right amount of embarrassment that Georgia faces all the time. For me i laughed and cringed at all the intended places, and would actually be pleased if another movie was coming out some time later.

    Oh, and i have read this book, but it was like 4 years ago....so maybe thats why it wasn't such a disappointment's to me, because i couldn't remember what was actually in the book and what was being made up.

    So basically if you haven't read the book at all or in a very long time, then you'll really enjoy watching it with a group of mates.

    Brilliantly observed, up until a stunningly contrived ending

    I wasn't surprised to find that "Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging" was directed by the same person who directed "Bend it Like Beckham". It has the same joyful, carefree, and amusing atmosphere, the same imperfect characters who you love for their imperfections, and puts you so easily into their world.

    The plot is really nothing you haven't seen before, but that doesn't matter because it's all the hilarious details on the way, like the protag's little sister, who thinks she is part kitten, and their cat, Angus, who is always attired differently whenever we see him.

    I also love the crazy vocabulary that the characters use, "fitties", "bazumas", "nunganungas", and describing everything as being "beyond the valley of the (insert whichever descriptor applies here)".

    Unfortunately movies like these can stay afloat with details that distract you from the plot... but the endings always seem to shrug these off and present their clichés boldly. The ending was so desperate to please that it kind of made me sad. I could believe most everything else that happened in the flick, even the bits that strained credibility, like the girls ending up with the guys they loved, those guys being in a band and them playing songs that sound like they were written by a middle aged record exec.

    What I couldn't believe, though, was the ending that was so finely attuned to absolutely everything the main character wanted out of life that it passed the realm of fantasy and ended up in delusion. If I knew a girl who told me her birthday party played out like that, I'd want her to see a psychiatrist.

    Anyway. I still greatly enjoyed this movie - even with the revolting kissing scene I have neglected to describe - and recommend you check it out.
