Movie

Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging

2008 · 100 min

A giddy, cringe-funny plunge into teenage diary angst, all crushes and catastrophes, breezy and sweet rather than sharp.

Directed by: Gurinder Chadha
Genres: Comedy, Drama, Family
Starring: Georgia Groome, Eleanor Tomlinson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson

Tagline: Georgia Nicolson's not going mental, but her life is.
Overview: Georgia Nicolson is fourteen, lives with nosey parents who don't understand her, an annoying three year old sister and has to wear a beret to school. She would, however, rather be blonde, have a smaller nose and a boyfriend. Revolving around her hilarious journal entries, prepare to be engulfed in the world of the soaring joys and bottomless angst of being a teenager.
