Great movie
posted on 18 Aug 2009To be honest i thought that the movie was great,i have been a very big fan of Louise Rennison since i was in my mid teens and i love all her books. The movie entitled everything which the books stand for which is comedy,romance,teen drama and friendship.Don't feel that with out reading the books you would not understand what the movie is about because everything is explained from the snogging scale to why slim is called slim. Although i feel that the movie is somewhat lacking when it comes to Georgia's vocabulary because she uses terms which non book readers would understand. However if you are devoted to the books you won't hear such words staga 14 or mutti or fatti but just school, mom and dad. Which kind of leaves the die heart fan unsatisfied. The cast was well chosen and the story line did change a little bit when compared to the books but it still included all the important bits from the books and now i'm hoping that their might be a sequel at some point in the future.Its worth watching.
Horrible movie
posted on 12 Aug 2009I just hate this movie. I'm a teenager myself and this movie disgusted me. For one, the main character in the film ,Georgia, was hideous looking. Oh my God i wanted to leave as soon as her face appeared. Now, now, before you go and reply back or whatever, hear me out, good god. Anyway, back to the movie itself. Her as a character is a completely different story. The way the characters put emphasis on their way of speaking made me just cringe, like i had to cover my ears it was so loud. The parenting was just disgusting. Like, in the end "I'm going to take you to your first night club!" as her mother said. WHAT THE HELL?! She's fourteen and SHES GOING TO A NIGHT CLUB?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! That's just. OH my god. The story line is over used. Honestly, i think I'm actually going to read the books so i could get the REAL story and not some Hollywood trash they brought out. This movie was rated PG when i went to see it, it should be PG 13. Let me give you some examples"LETS GO BOY STALKING!" "Yeah, my mom could put a whole pencil case in her boobs." "Well YOU DID ask what it was like being felt up!" "OH my God, you're like, going 7 on the scale already?!"(which basically means sex in what i heard from the movie. I don't know)They put so much slang into their way of speaking, i should have brought a translator. Good Lord. I have so much more to say, but this movie's so bad, i don't think it's even worth it. I'd give it a ZERO, even a negative one if i could.This movie is worse than EPIC movie. Id rather see THAT than this pile of trash. Just don't see it. Just don't i beg you. I wasted my money. Also this is my first review ever. How lucky! Expect plenty more from me in the near future.
Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging
posted on 02 Aug 2009OK, 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.
Really great adaptation - I hope you enjoy it too.
posted on 31 Jul 2009My daughter and I went to see this film last night with great anticipation as we have read the books. I know that the director is great having seen her previous work and I was looking forward to seeing how she and her co-writer had adapted the books for screen.First off it is based on the both 'Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging' and 'it's okay, I'm wearing really big knickers' there have been a few minor changes to make it work on film without Georgia sounding too whiny and to make the story flow better. It was a shame that we didn't get to meet Sven and his awesome flares, but he was there disco dancing in the background and Georgia fans will know him when they see him.From the moment it started we were engaged, the cinema was packed and during Georgia's initial walk home we were howling with laughter and it just got better. (Did her feet move or did she glide?) The audience was a mixed bunch, a majority of teenage girls, a sprinkling of boys and a few of us "out of the stone age", I don't think that anybody disliked it. It got major reactions from all of the audience each finding humour in different places. There were a few sad ahhh's when there was a sad looking 'Dave the Laugh', some misty eyes during a serious dressing down and laughter at Mum ogling Jem - or was that just me! anyhoo - both my daughter (16) and I (38) would pay to see it again. We highly recommend it but take a tissue with you, if not for the tears of laughter but for those misty eyes that may sneak up on you.It gives you a warm feeling to be reminded what romance and love is, both from a younger and older point of view. Although I did say to my daughter on the way home that you are not incomplete if you are don't have a partner, but it can be a great feeling when you are ready. But Georgia is written with a boyfriend goal in mind. Look out Sex God Georgia has a plan!
Fairly so-so comic tale of growing up
posted on 21 Jul 2009Georgia Nicolson is a typical 14 year old girl but in her own eyes she is a freak of nature who will simply never manage to get herself a boyfriend. Even amongst her group of friends (not the most popular girls in school) she is the "nerdy" one. In the pursuit of male contact, she is willing to do whatever it takes whether lying, playing games, pretending to lose cats and having lessons in getting the perfect snog.From the get-go I think it is important that I acknowledge that I am not target audience for Angus Thongs & Perfect Snogging (which also strikes me as a terrible title). As a man in his thirties, the awkward growing pains of teenagers is something is unlikely to concern me again aside from the unlikely event of me having children in the future. This is not to say that, because I do not fit into the broad spectrum of people that the film is aimed at, that I will hate it or simply dismiss it though - to do so often means that I would miss gems on the basis that they are "not my sort of thing". On watching though, it becomes clearer and clearer that this film will not fall into that category and indeed can be classed more under the "well, what did you expect" box in my mind.The reason for this is that the film is not particularly good at any one thing. I had some hopes that it would be creative when the opening sequence came on as it was a funny and clever way of saying "outsider" about the character of Georgia. Despite the manner it is said though, the thing that it is saying even at this point is fairly clichéd and sadly it is this path that the majority of the film follows. Again, having clichés in a genre film is not a big deal from my point of view, but to make the film good you have to do something of value with them whether it is twisting them, delivering them well or just adding insight that makes the audience see the clichés as more than that with time. We don't really get that here though because the film seems happy in the middle-ground.What I mean is that, as one example, it is not particularly funny but the bigger weakness for me was that I didn't think it felt real and it didn't have enough of a creative air to it to make engaging enough in that realm to cover for it. With this sort of thing you do need a strong central character because, if I care for her, then the story has less pressure on it because ultimately it is being told about her and sort of from her perspective. Here though I didn't really buy into Georgia as a person so much as a vaguely developed comic creation. It doesn't help that Groome didn't work for me either, her performance was a bit too obviously flappy and comic (without having the material to support that) effectively knocking the realism out of her performance. Nor did she have enough in the way of charisma to make her awkward fumbling charming or sweet and she didn't have the range to deliver on the more demanding scenes. The side characters are not really used that well either with those with the most potential seemingly left to tiny moments (I liked her little sister as a comic character) while the weaker ones have more put on them - specifically Davies and Taylor were so-so while the other teenagers were mostly only OK.Overall the film film treads a familiar genre path without a great deal to recommend it for - and trust me, as a British film, I was looking to enjoy it as well as supporting it. As it is though it doesn't do much of note outside of the basics, certainly not enough to give it a boost in terms of being creative or engaging. It is bright and lively enough to appeal as a genre film though and should be appreciated as such, but it left me quite under-whelmed.
Great Moviee =)
posted on 11 Jul 2009I Think This Movie Was Great At Parts It Was Really Funny Then Other Parts Serious And Its Nice To See A Girlish Movie MAde In Engliand Not USA For Once! And Really Enjoyed The Book As well As The Movie It All Made Sense Unlike Some Movies That Just Make You Confused Its Completely Easy To Understand!! All The Acting Was Good Not Amazing But Quite Good! I Think It Desverves A 8 And A Half Out Of 10 Because Of The Acting OF Some Of Them Most Of The Actors/Actresses Were Good Though And To Be Honest I Cant Wait For It To COme Out On DVD Cos Ill Definitely Be Buying It Cos On the Big Screen It ROCKED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It Think The Movie Was Aged At Girls Around 12-16 Probably Id Definitely Recommend IT To A Friend!
was good.
posted on 07 Jul 2009I went to see this with a group of friends, two of whom had read the books and loved them and the rest of us who hadn't even heard of the books until the movie came out.tbh, at first i didn't really think the movie was that good, i liked the storyline and everything but I thought the acting was pretty poor. However, having read the books after seeing the movie I have changed my mind, the 'ace gang' (although not the best actresses), especially Georgia are portrayed perfectly. I would like to have seen more of Libby's craziness & Angus though, because the movie is called 'Angus, Thongs & Perfect Snogging', I would've liked to have seen more of Angus. Having said this I would actually recommend the movie, its light & quite funny, I will get it on DVD when it came out.
Dull, clichéd and BORING…
posted on 15 Jun 2009Okay, so I never read the books, so I wasn't even willing to see Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging – I had to be put through it at school instead. And I guess I didn't really have any idea what to expect from it, other that it was probably going to be some kind of sugar-coated, superficial teen flick. And that's exactly what I got.I'm a British teenage girl. I should have enjoyed this film, right? Wrong, I certainly didn't. Of course, this is coming from the girl whose favourite films include The Dark Knight and Indiana Jones – I've never really liked teen movies all that much, but especially the totally brain-dead ones like this.I'll try and give a small plot summary. From what I gathered, a group of fourteen-year-old girls (who, of course, think that their parents are mortifying and that they are all ugly; I told you this film was clichéd) fall head over heels in love with two boys from their school. They then hatch a ridiculous plan to try and win them over, featuring cats and all sorts. And, of course, things don't go according to plan.However (and luckily for me), that's how far we got – and believe me, I'm in no hurry to ever find out what happens. I'm going to stay as far away from this film as possible in the future, and I highly recommend that everyone else do the same.
The worst teenage film ever created.
posted on 13 Jun 2009This movie gives teenagers and pre-teens a bad name, we are not all giggly little school girls who prance around and act all 'grown up' Its so childish, and is a complete and utter embarrassment. Throughout the film I was cringing in my seat and praying for it to end.Various films like 'mean girls' and 'cluless' were genius and I felt 'Angus thongs and perfect snogging' wasn't up to that level at all. Georgia is portrayed as a little brat, and each character has no depth whatsoever, who cares what happens! The acting was awful,they simply couldn't, and compared to 'bend it like beckham, also directed by Gurinder Chadha this is an utter failure.Keira knightly was brilliant and so was Parminder Nagra, but in this film there seems to be no talent whatsoever.Overall i was very disappointed and compared to the books there seemed no connection between them at all, save your money and your time, and watch dark night it 'mazin :D
If you're a fan of the books, avoid at all costs!
posted on 09 Jun 2009I am fully aware that when a book/series of books is made into a film, changes often have to be made. But 'Angus, Thongs and perfect Snogging' really took the old poetic license too far. Not content with changing the title, the director also felt the need to change the entire plot, character personalities and modify a hilarious tale of teenage life into a cheesy Disney-like film.The acting is awkward and cringe-worthy, as if nobody really knows what on earth they are doing in front of the camera or how they got there. The biggest blow to fans of the books will be that Georgia and her friends are just not portrayed as particularly funny.12-year-old girls who have never laid eyes on the books will probably lap it up, but for any fan over that age, be prepared to be disappointed!
Was expecting a lot more, but i guess it was OK...
posted on 05 Jun 2009I have been hyped up about this movie since i first heard they were making it last year. I guess i thought it would be practically the same as the books, but i was completely wrong.OK, some of the events were the same such as the stuffed olive incident, the strip of blonde hair etc and most of the characters were in there with the exceptions of Uncle Eddie, Mr & Mrs Next Door, Mark Big Gob, Elvis, Hawkeye, etc who i suppose weren't too important.But i was very disappointed by the lack of screen time of Sven (who could only be seen if you looked at him at a few parties), The Bummer Twins (who were only shown a few times), P Green (who wasn't even mentioned but shown a few times) and Slim (who was only shown once).I was also disappointed by the storyline as i think it took away the proper feeling of the books as Georgia did not have a 15th birthday party in the books, nor did she try to stop her parents splitting up. In the film, Georgia seems very close to her parents, and, in the books, she despises them really. I thought that too much screen time was spent on Georgia at home and her parents' relationship as there were hardly any scenes at school. I found that the film was very short and to the point, which missed out a lot of events from the book. I think Georgia was portrayed as young and immature, especially in her speech and acted more like 11 than 14. Jas I thought fitted the part perfectly, as well as Rosie and Ellen, but I wish that Rosie had been a bit madder.I thought Robbie and Tom was good casting, but I felt that Robbie sounded a bit girly when he talked at times (my friend who came with me to see this thought he was gay).I could talk more about the characters but I would write too much, so I am just going to talk about Dave the Laugh. I thought he was perfect casting, but I was annoyed that it wasn't Robbie who told Georgia to go out with him, and I was also annoyed that Georgia never kissed Dave, as she does in the books. It seemed in the film that Georgia didn't like Dave at all, and if they make another film, I think it will be hard to see why she suddenly likes him.However, apart from that, the film was OK. Probably aimed at aged 10-14 girls and it was quite funny (especially Libby and Angus) and sometimes sad with some good acting. It was also a little bit cringy, but, hey, what do you expect with a Nickolodean movie? I would give it 6/10 stars, and I would recommend it to young teenage girls, but not lovers of the book because they may be disappointed like me.
Fantastic, well worth watching
posted on 28 May 2009I have seen this movie twice now, and quite frankly it is amazing. The songs are very good. I found the acting OK for the first half an hour, but after that it got better and better. It is an amazing feel good movie and definitely worth watching. The movie has some similarities and differences to the book but on the whole it is excellent. I have read all the books but I went to see it with a friend who has not read any of them and we both found it excellent. It is the best movie that i as a teenager have ever seen. To summarise i would definitely recommend this to teenage girls (13-18) and maybe 11-12 year olds also, whether you have read the books or not makes no difference. It is definitely worth watching
Amazing
posted on 16 May 2009Me && And Best Friend Went to see this and we thought it was amazing i loved every minute of it i could sit over again and watch it it just shows what a teenage girls's life is about.The film had sum incredible actors/actresses especially Aaron Johnson Who Plays Robbie Who is kinda Fit Anyway! I Would Recommend This film for girls especially and the teenagers :D Really Girly Film :D:D. Even If You Are Going With Your Boyfriend/Girlfriend Once You have watched this together You will probably realise how much you actually like each other!! It Is really A great Film This is one of the best films i have seen In time. It is defiantly one to watch this summer!!
And who says girlfriends make you do feel embarrassed?
posted on 12 May 2009Well considering this is my first review, mainly because of the review before mine was so unGodly biased.So what can I say. Note there will be some spoilers, and you will accept them if you read further than this point.So on to the main part. I was dragged into this film because my recent girlfriend made me promise to come and i really wanted to spend time with her. So I did not want to say or admit seeing the film, heck my answer to the cashier was "A student ticket for what she said". The audience was all girls bar a grandfather and another guy who formed the other member of our group of four.The opening was alright, nothing was as hunorous as watching a girl walk down the highstreet followed by her father whilst dressed as a stuffed olive. Instant laughter, liked where this was going. Girls dressed quite slutty though jailbait, nothing bad here, might actually enjoy this. Girl running home to a weird family being laughed at by OAPs. The laughs are quite humorous. my most memorable part is how she turns down the resident man slut by stating she was a lesbian which was funny as it related to my girlfriend.However, there were downpoints, especially considering as I am a guy, the soppy will they won't they moments, which we know due to predictability was going to happen. And the final scenes with the party, for example, the boyfriend who owns the club was obvious.But still none the less enjoyable.Oh yes, the girls in their thongs also helped.Lol, I would recommend this.
I loved it!
posted on 06 May 2009If 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!!!!
It's just terrible
posted on 06 May 2009I went to see this movie with two girl-friends and a gay boy-friend - all three of us girls have known and loved the books for years, and the boy likes silly teen comedies like us.Although I adore the books, I didn't have very high expectations going in to this. I expected a decent movie, an okay one.This isn't okay or decent. It's just awful.None of the lead girls can act and they over-enunciate EVERYTHING (imagine a movie cast entirely with the Harry Potter series' Emma Watson, only NOT AS GOOD, and you have an idea of this movie's young female cast) everything good about the source material is changed, and most of what happens in the movie didn't happen in the books.The screen I was in was full of the key demographic for this movie, and yet nobody laughed. I heard much shuffling, sighing and groaning; and my lovely male friend was writhing in his seat, it was so terrible.The casting is this movie's first major problem, and the writing is the second. Nothing of what makes the book funny or its characters charming is in here. The events are all jumbled around distractingly, and the girls act like idiots. Everyone looks too young (come on, Ellen looks about eight years old). It's not coherent, and the made-up-for-the-movie plot about Georgia's birthday party is stupid.All the characters are unsympathetically written so you don't care about any of them. The only character that solicited anything from the audience is treated like a piece of dirt by Georgia, who does nothing but cry and whine throughout the whole bloody debacle.Characters are completely changed from their book counterparts - look out for Wet Lindsay especially - and the direction is dire.Lastly, the message of the film is repulsive. Once she gets a boyfriend, Georgia sees herself as "perfect" - because he tells her she is so! Georgia doesn't become a strong person on her own, she needs a man to tell her she is so.This is definitely a stinker, and one to be avoided at all costs. It's cheesy to the point of embarrassment, the dialogue is stupid, nobody has any chemistry, the soundtrack is terrible and it bears no resemblance to the original books. We were tempted to walk out.
The worst film I have ever seen
posted on 30 Apr 2009If a 'zero' out of ten could be given, then it should only be reserved for this film only. This is truly the worst film I have ever seen in my entire life. If watching a countless young madams prancing around whimsically on screen, fresh out of acting school (and I mean fresh), then this is your cup of tea. However since no-one likes that, then this film is not suited to anyone. Acting does not occur once in this film by the lead girls, their actions and their mannerisms are portrayed totally unrealistically; for playing the roles 14 year old English school girls they did not act like this in any way at all. The picture house was packed with young girls, ranging from around 8-16 years old and none of the supposed 'funny' parts of the film received any laughter. The film was very hard to like from the start, not being able to relate with the actors' poor portrayal of the school-girl demographic (not because I'm not a school-girl, but because they were such disastrous actresses), the hypocrisy of the storyline itself, and a general dislike for most of the lead characters, meant that I didn't care what happened to them at all. Everyone loves a love-story, a sort of 'princess and the pauper', or in this case, 'maid and the prince'.But when the lead actress, trying to woo this 'prince', lives on a quiet street in a seaside town, in a three story house, with wealthy parents and a scholarship at a grammar school, the story is meaningless. Its actually the princess and the prince. Who cares if little miss moneybags doesn't get her boy, she still has her thousands of pounds, her family and friends and her otherwise amazing life (the boy who, by the way, is referred to as a 'sex-god', and is also 16 years old, two years older than her.) The film confuses its morals, and doesn't know what it's trying to preach to its audience, and as its audience is school girls, this is a little worrying. You should be yourself? Love your friends? Value your family? Enjoy being intimate with older boys?! The climax to this 1h 50m slow motion car-crash is a large birthday party held for the lead girl, and I'm talking large. A sort of 'my super sweet 16' kind of thing, but she's 15. If you already didn't like her character enough, this was the final nail in the coffin. The lead girl didn't travel anywhere throughout the film, she was wealthy and unlike the majority of all 14 year old schoolgirls at the start, and she was wealthy and unlike the majority of all 14 year old schoolgirls at the finish. The film was truly awful, even the film music was poor, arriving suddenly and impromptu, thoroughly curdling the already thick cheese that this film was. You know you're watching a bad film when a cinema room filled with the film's key audience, young girls, is deathly silent throughout what was meant to be some sort of modern girly coming of age comedy, and the only laugh you get is when a Steve Jones makes an almost cameo-like appearance, and turns out to be a homosexual, which for every one who watched the film who was over 16 had already guessed. £4.10 was wasted, and so were about 2 hours of my life which I will never get back. The film was so bad it made me angry. This was not entertainment on any level, and should have been a straight to TV movie, straight to Nickleodeon. It was deserving of going straight to VHS. And yes, I am aware VHS tapes aren't made anymore that is why. Avoid this film, and definitely do not confuse/upset your children with it.
Funniest film of the year
posted on 28 Apr 2009I went to see this film with 4 of my best friends and we all LOVED it .The film had the entire audience laughing all throughout the movie and it was the funniest film i have seen all year.However it is might not appeal to adults but the books were not written for adults they were intended for a teenage audience. The books are some of my favourite books and the film is definitely a brilliant version of the books, and girls if you are looking for a new boy to poster your walls with then look no further then this film as Aaron Johnson stars as Robbie or as nicknamed by the main character "the sex god" and Johnson truly lives up to that name in the film.So is your a boy or a girl and are a teenager/young adult then i would definitely recommend this film but not if your an adult because you probably understand the comedy. As well as being funny there is a romantic side to the film.
Maybe it's more of a (very strange) girl 's film.. *SPOILERS*
posted on 26 Apr 2009The saga of Georgia Nicolson is one most likely to be appreciated by a teenage girl between the ages of 12 and 16. I watched hoping for some good drama and comedy, but left disappointed by the lack of depth in the characters and the coarseness of the jokes. Also, the love interests for Georgia and her best mate Jas are personality-less pretty boys without an ounce of charisma, which makes you wonder why they are pursued with such ferocity by our big-nosed heroine and her blonde friend. Ooh, one works in an organic fruit shop and the other in the lead singer in a band. Talk about too perfect.Plus can we have a film where the parents aren't a down-with-it mum and a dopey dad? Hearing Mrs Nicolson describing schoolboys as 'fitties' and lusting after a shirtless builder about 20 years her junior might be embarrassing, but it isn't especially funny. And the less said about Alan Davies's confusion over how many pairs of brown trousers to take to work abroad with him, and his bad dancing at his daughter's birthday disco (more on that farce later..), the better.In fact, there are so many weird'n'wacky individuals in this film there's hardly any room for normality at all, and I genuinely feel sorry for any female who can relate to it. Taking a cat for a walk on a lead? Applying moisture to turn your legs yellow before going swimming?! Going to a snog specialist's house to learn how to kiss a boy, who is so popular he has to squeeze you into a 30 minute session??! Yeah, right.This seriously harms the credibility of the film when there are so many surreal elements, which constantly take you out of the action and leave you scratching your head and saying out loud: HUH?! "PEOPLE DON'T BEHAVE LIKE THAT!!" Balanced alongside the more tender, soap opera-ish moments the formula doesn't match up, and you're left with a bit of a mess.The ending deserves a paragraph all to itself. Only a scriptwriter could construct something as ridiculous as this: In the space of five minutes in a 'surprise party' every problem is solved: All relationships are reconciled, an unwanted move to New Zealand is cancelled when her father gets a promotion at home, The nasty girl is humiliated on stage when her boob padding is removed by Jas, and Georgia gets a song dedicated to her by her new beau on the main stage. Oh bless! Even Georgina's other nerdy girlfriends get introduced to more vapid pretty boys so they can have equally vapid pretty babies when they grow up.One problem: this is the most phony, contrived, unrealistic conclusion to a movie I have seen for ages. I know they want to end on a happy note, but this definitely overdoing it. By a LLOONNGG way. Oh and Georgie: your new song is pure, unadulterated sh**e. And your dreamboat is obviously miming. Sorry, luv.Perhaps I'm disappointed that I disagree with the main theme of the film so much: that getting a boyfriend is the be and end-all when you're 14. When I was her age, I was more bothered about what was on TV and my homework to bother with the opposite sex. In this movie however, Nearly every action and thought the heroine has is to manipulate the tedious hunk to being her squeeze. This is even before she's even spoken to him: one flash of those baby blues and she's all OMG I MUST AVE IM!!How about actually erm.. finding out if he's a good person, or discovering if you've got similar interests? Pretending you've lost your pet so he can help you look for it, or suddenly discovering a passion for hated veg just to get him into bed won't work in the long term of a partnership. Well, I suppose it does in the film, but that's because the object her affection is as dumb as a rock. You can only put up a front for so long..Phew, I said enough. I set out to write a quick article and ended up with possibly my longest review ever. Typical. But it had to be said. Watch lovers of the book mark this way down. Do I care? Not a jot. Fire away, you know I am right ;)... 4/10
