Review of Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging (2008) by Maruf H — 27 Jun 2013
It's obvious from the get-go how the film will come to a close, but it's enticing nonetheless to see Georgia realize that her life was perfect the way it was - she just really wanted a boyfriend.
The film reminds us all that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it doesn't matter if Cosmo tells you your nose is supposed to be a cute little button - as long as you have a "sex god" boyfriend who loves you for who you are, everything else that annoyed you in your life is suddenly wonderful.
Possibly the most fascinating part of the film is that these girls are all supposed to be 14 and 15-year-old's, yet we get two riveting butt shots of girls in thongs, and one of them goes as far as to show us her bra - you have just got to love the Brits.
Director Gurinder Chadha takes the generic coming-of-age film in a more materialistic, yet approachable, direction than other films have opted to do the same genre, and it definitely makes for more interesting than Nickelodeon's other PG-13 film, Fun Size.
