Angus, Thongs And Perfect Snogging (2008) 7/10

Starring : Georgia Groome, Aaron Johnson, Karen Taylor, Alan Davies
Director : Gurinder Chadha
Running Time : 101 mins

14 year old Georgia Nicolson (Groome) hates her life, until she meets new boy at school Robbie (Taylor-Johnson) and immediately falls for him. In order to try to get close to him, Georgia pretends that her pet cat Angus has gone missing so that Robbie will help her look for him, but just when things start to look like their improving for her, her dad Bob (Davies) announces that they’re all moving to New Zealand for his job.

This is a cute movie with some nice observational dialogue and some great performances from the young actors involved. The plot is a little confusing, as it comes from two different novels and tries to blend them together, but it works out well and the flow is pretty good one it gets going. A must for teenagers, and some grown-ups might enjoy it too.
