Amazon.co.uk Review Appreciating that the title does the film few favours, Angus, Thongs & Perfect Snogging nonetheless emerges as a really quite pleasant surprise.
Based on the book by Louise Rennison, and directed by Bend It Like Beckham helmer Gurinder Chadha, Angus, Thongs & Perfect Snogging centres around the character of Georgia Nicolson, played by Georgia Groome, and her trials and tribulations as a 14-year old. There are boys, to start with, namely two brothers who have just started at her school, that should help in her quest for a boyfriend. There’s her rival, Lindsay, along with her friends in the a Ace Gang’. And let’s not forget too Angus the cat. It’s a mixture that naturally sends Georgia’s head spinning, and it’s the basis of a strong film.
Far more than the teen Bridget Jones it threatened to be, Angus, Thongs & Perfect Snogging is actually a neatly layered, well-played film, that slots easily into the teen market that generally American cinema targets the best. Mixing some very funny moments in with the more dramatic (and it’s the quieter moments that ultimately impress the most), its young cast do themselves proud, helped immensely by the guiding hand of the ever-improving Chadha behind the camera.
What’s more, it’s rare to see a film that talks to a teenage target market as well as Angus, Thongs & Perfect Snogging, without the need for liberal dollops of gloss. It’s entertaining without being patronising, and shows that British cinema has more breadth to it than many may give it credit for. Warmly recommended. --Jon Foster
Favourite FilmJanuary 2, 2009 PebbleWasp I never got to see this film in the cinema so asked for it for christmas. I Love it so much. If you are a teenage girl who wants a good film this is deffo the one. Fantastic!
It is really good ....BUTDecember 31, 2008 OptommistSophie(Uk) Angus Thongs and perfect snogging is a typical teenage girl film about falling in love i must admitt it is really entertaining and great soundtrack - very original and fun - but i think over-sixteens might get bored as it is mostly aimed at 10-14 yearolds - its is also a bit mudled up because it is based on the first two of Georgia Nickolson books and changes the plot too much Apart from that IT IS GREEAT
An absolute masterpiece of British FilmDecember 30, 2008 Ms. J. C. Saunders(England) This film shows the ability of Britsh film producers. With an all-star cast, including Steve Jones (Television presenter) and Aaron Johnston (Actor in TV series; Nearly Famous) you are taken into the typical life of the average 14 year old in England.
The film starts with Georgia being her typical teenage self wanting a party in a club and a boyfriend whilst still managing to complain about her body hang-ups such as her nose, which she see's as ugly and petruding, and her boobs, which she wants to be a tiy bit bigger.
Whilst at school with her 'Ace gang' she spots a new boy at her school who she want to bag as her boyfriend. The Ace gang try all different methods to bag Robbie (Aaron Johnson)and along the way they have a few fall-outs and get into trouble but at the end of the story Georgia bags her boy at her surprise 15th birthday party.
Whilst all the 'man grabbing' is going on, Georgia also has to deal with the problem of her dad possible wanting to move to new zealand. Her dad fly's out to New Zealand in the hope of getting a promotion and Georgia thinks its great having one less parent in the house, until Jem (Steve Jones) the decorator arrives. Being a 14 year old girl she assumes the worst and then has to try and face the fact that her parents might be splitting up. At the end of the film you find out just what does happen about her parents.
An absolute must see for Family's and teenage girls.
Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging [2008]December 28, 2008 Mrs. I. R. Purtill(England, Uk) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Angus thongs and perfect snogging is slightly spoilt by it's title. I know this is quite a minor bug but I know someone who wasn't allowed to see it because of the title. Overall this is a heartwarming chick flick that is very very funny and perfect for girls 12 - 16. Fab! Five star! I love angus!
Great FunDecember 21, 2008 Mrs. S. P. Goldman(England) I went to see this with my teenage daughter and we both loved it. I think a lot of young teens will really be able to relate to Georgia and her problems. The film was funny, sweet and great fun.
