Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

bnicolec2001 I watched this movie on DVR after seeing the Opening scene of Georgia in her costume that she called "the business" I thought it seemed like a cute film. Georgia's transformation was bumpy to say the least , I was thinking "what kind of messages are we sending our young girls?". She is fourteen and ranking the stages of kissing , it seems a little young . I didn't really like Georgia at the beginning she was kind of mean, bossy ,and even manipulative of her friends . My stomach turned when the girls started to rate one another's looks ,and features . When she was jealous of her friend's new relationship she said "He's not even good enough for you ." Just wow . I almost felt like I wanted to scream if I heard the word "Slag" one more time , I assumed it meant slut and found through a Google search that is basically what it means .She even manipulated a poor guy that was just an innocent bystander in her love shape thing . I just cringed thinking can this get any worse ,and well it did as she hurt person after person, in the end of her downward spiral part hurting herself not physically but emotionally by distancing herself from the people she cared about. She does pull it together ,and the ending is cute I won't spoil it . I loved the "More mature" her , it is good at the end but I feel for me personally it was too little to late to give it an 8 . I still don't like the starter messages, and the later messages are better ,but not necessarily good.

trixie-k-88 This movie was a horrible adaption of Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging. It is the kind of film that absolutely destroys the idea the author of the original piece was trying to make.Georgia Nicolson is a silly, immature teenage girl who likes playing pranks and is absolutely boy crazy! To sum it up, the plot is Georgia's pursuit of a boy she calls "The Sex God" (aka Robbie). In her attempts to make the handsome older boy fall in love with her, Georgia gets herself and her friends into zany situations. Despite her painful embarrassing family, crazy cat, and strict private school Georgia manages to come through on top, with her guy! The problem with this movie is that it takes a hilariously silly, lighthearted book and tries to fit it into the normal template of a tween/teen movie. They stuffed in too many clichés, made the audience sympathize with Georgia's shallow complaints, and threw in some morals and "maturity". The charm of the Georgia books are not only Rennison's hilarity (which this movie got JUST a taste of) but the way she poked fun at how shallow and ridiculous Georgia was. It was always clear that the things Georgia thought were so important were...just trivial, childish things. Because as many of us know, most things teenagers think are wildly important are...not, and that's quickly realized in a few years. But this movie makes it seem like every other stupid teen movie does--that your desperate search for a boyfriend, and desire for a smaller nose and less embarrassing parents DO actually matter and ARE important. In fact..this movie ended up being just what the books make fun of, shallow and stupid. It also destroyed the lighthearted, hilariosity of Georgia by making her "mature" in the end. That may be good for other characters, but the fun of Georgia is she stays completely silly and airheaded for years.For the most part, this movie destroyed the characters. This film took away everything that made Georgia special and original. It made her just another recycled teenaged girl character, which is truly disappointing. Her actions, which are supposed to be hilariously shallow and silly come out as whiny, bratty and annoyingly shallow, even manipulative. Georgia's parents have lost almost all personality, except the fact that Georgia's mom is flirtatious, which they push too far and make her flat out inappropriate. Dave the Laugh is NOT funny at all, and way too sensitive, when he is supposed to be an immature horndog. Angus also has no personality, little screen time, and is an ugly, gray Persian. Was it really that hard to find a large, orange tabby? Especially when they gave him nothing to do in the film? Jas was actually okay, but her chemistry with Georgia was not very good. The ONLY character that actually made me laugh and acted how I pictured was Libby, Georgia's three year old sister. And she was only on screen for a few minutes! I know I'm comparing this to the book a lot, but that's because it came from such fantastic material. But on its own? This is just another dumb tween movie with a few chuckles. It might be likable for some young girls who have never read the books, but otherwise it's forgettable. This is one of those films you should really just skip and read the book instead.

innersmiff Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, an attempt to cash in on the quirky British teen book of the same name...no wait...that was called 'Angus, Thongs and Full-frontal Snogging', my mistake. I know, that name is just so darn raunchy.Anyhow, I saw nothing in the film which warrants a theatrical release. You'll find nothing here that you wouldn't find on any other teen girl series on CBBC. You have the awkward 14 year-old girl Georgia and her quest to find the hottest guy evarrr in time for her birthday party, helped by her bratty friends. Dramatic stuff right?I wouldn't say there's anything necessarily wrong with this, I just don't see why it needed to be released in theatres. By the end, I'm like "so what?"Even on it's own level, everyone but pre-teen girls are going to be annoyed by the film and it's stereotypical view of British adolescent life. Basically, the characters have their priorities all wrong and don't learn a satisfactory lesson. This could be potentially harmful to it's audience, much worse than any violence or bad language, in my opinion. That leads me to my other main problem with the film: it doesn't know which tone it's going for. Georgia describes the love interest as a "sex God", a tad inappropriate considering that the furthest anyone gets is a good snog. If you had a film tackling issues of teen sexuality, that would be a film I would like to see. This is your average teeny girl nonsense which will be forgotten soon enough.I don't recommend this to anyone but the target audience. If you are part of it, don't make your parents watch it.

Kaylee Green I am a fifteen year old girl and I loathed this film.The film begins with the main character, a teenage girl named Georgia (with the most annoying accent I have ever heard), happily walking down the street dressed as an olive. She arrives at a fancy-dress party and has to face the terrible humiliation of being the only one dressed as a food. How will Georgia cope? Will she do the most natural thing and take off the costume if she's that embarrassed about it and have a fun evening with her friends? No, of course not. That makes too much sense.What she DOES do is storm over to her friends, demand why they aren't wearing costumes like hers as they agreed, then deems their excuses as inadequate and runs out of the place, knocking over drinks and plates of biscuits and people along the way. She then goes running through the streets, still dressed as a stuffed olive. Actually, that scene is the film's main highlight as it did almost change my look of disbelief to a weak smile for a second or two.After arriving home and throwing a full on tantrum which involves stomping on her costume, ripping photos off the walls and throwing all her teddy-bears onto the floor, Georgia takes a deep breath and announces to the family that she's going to be 'more mature from now on'. Well, she's made a good start! Drinks all around! At school the next day, suddenly Georgia and her three school-mates are all best friends again. Obviously there was a major plot point when I wasn't looking. And during their lunch break, they notice two new guys strolling through the grounds. And 'it's boy-stalking time!' Yes, that's their dialogue. Okay, maybe teenagers talked like that in 1886, but come on, screenwriter. Get with the times.They stalk the poor boys through a montage, taking notes and spying on them through a pair of binoculars (and even breaking out into an utterly ridiculous dance routine at the end). I half expected them to all tie their shoelaces every time the boys turned around. But this didn't happen, mainly because the boys didn't, not once, turn around, a fact that I find pretty amazing. How hard can four giggling-screeching-in-uniform-linking-arms-armed-with-binoculars schoolgirls be to spot? And so, obviously, Georgia gets to know the guy she's got her eye on (Robbie) and yes, obviously he already has a girlfriend. Georgia is heartbroken. I was mildly perturbed. I imagined what Georgia would tell the rest of her friends to be something like this: You know that handsome guy I talked to for eight seconds? Well, he has a girlfriend! I've never felt so BETRAYED! Anyway, Georgia tries to make him jealous by going out with another guy… (screenwriter's motto: 'originality is, like, so overrated') he finds out and makes her feel bad… (oh, the twists and turns!) etc, etc. You know the drill. It's only been done eight million times already.So, after a lot of boring events laced with clichés that are too tiresome to think about, let alone write down, Georgia and her bestie, Jaz, split up and throw catty insults at each other during a netball game, the grand, dramatic finale when Georgia stomps on Jaz's foot. Oh, the horror.The second-last sequence in the movie is a bit of a mystery to me because at the start of the film, Georgia was unpopular in her school, but suddenly, her night-club is packed with what looks like the entire population of her state, everyone cheering and throwing confetti like she's just handed out free flip-phones. And then Jaz comes up to her and hugs her as if nothing ever happened between them, forcing me to conclude that an entire chapter was cut out of the film for pace reasons. Either that, or I accidentally slept through it. Anyway, for reasons the film doesn't care to share, Georgia is now officially a hero. I have heard of the term 'suspension of disbelief' and actively engage in it with popcorn-fare such as the Indiana Jones films, and any line Orlando Bloom says, but this is going too far. Sorry movie, but no humans act like this. Not in any state, in any country, on any planet.I thereby conclude that 'Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging' is the worst teenage film I have ever seen. Eye-clawingly bad.
