Ispystuff All around funny, well written well acted coming of age comedy for tween-aged girls. The antagonist is pretty, bossy, mean, stuck up blonde named Lyndsay who's "Nunga Nungas" are the center of her social gravity. What Lyndsay doesn't know is that Georgia and her friends have discovered that Lyndsay is secretly wearing falsies a fact they are perfectly happy to keep to themselves, until Lyndsay shows up to Georgia's sweet sixteen party and throws massive, public, shade Georgia's way. You guessed it, Lyndsay gets "busted." A fairly well done reveal but some of the camera angles chosen are not ideal. Overall artifice-exposed fans will love it.
invisibleunicornninja Everything in this movie is terrible. Name an element of a movie and this thing fails miserable. Acting, cinematography, plot. This sht has no redeeming qualities. The only reason I watched this all the way through was because my mom made me (I asked to borrow it from the library and she thought that as a consequence I should watch the whole thing). This abomination is cringy, poorly acted and bad. Don't watch this movie. You could be doing anything else. You would get more out of just banging your head against the wall than you would out of this movie. I'm not sure how much I can stress how bad this movie is.
gurrrrrrlllll Right, I've watched this film with my friends because it's awful but at the same time we rip it apart because at the end of the day it's so cringey and bad that it's really really funny..Why is it bad? Well. 1- It gives girls false hope... No, being 'quirky' and a total 'clutz' doesn't make the guys fancy you. Robbie (the Sex God) goes "she's just the perfect nutter!" But in reality, no one wants a perfect nutter. No one's going to go "AWW she fake tanned her legs and dressed up as an olive one time! She's so individual!" And there's a difference between being quirky and being mildly retarded...2- The culture of teenagers is dramatically unrealistic. At the end of the day, if you turned around to see 4 girls in a classroom doing a completely stupid dance in the centre where everyone can see them, complete with finger spins and brushing their shoulders, they would get merked. On top of that, all the main friendship group seem to dress terribly. It's as though an archetypal designer of Tammy Girls came along and dressed them all up in knitted pink tank tops or a purple t shirt with long white sleeves behind them. They looked like absolute dweebs.3- You sympathise with the main villain. Georgia, the irritating and unfashionable main character, steals the boyfriend from the main 'villain', Lindsay. Now Lindsay at the end storms onto stage and demands her boyfriend come back and everything, but is publicly humiliated when her chicken fillets are pulled out. Now, really...? Is this really a good message to send out? Is it good to promote the idea that people with chicken fillets are pathetic and deserve to be teased for it? At the end of the day, even the thought that you'd lose your boyfriend to a whiny, less attractive and less socially aware girl with a severe deficiency in maturity, was probably enough to damage that poor girl's self esteem, let alone the public removal of her chicken fillets. 4- The acting was plastic. Robbie's voice is so hilariously high, and it's brilliant to laugh at. Jas speaks to Georgia as though they've never really met before and that they're on a set acting, which they are... And Georgia emphasises every word in a nasal voice that will drive you insane.5- The dialogue is abysmal. This kind of crosses with the culture point I made, but it deserves a section all to itself. Teenagers do not speak like the characters in this film do! They don't! No one states that someone is 'from Vulgaria'. Nobody says "snoggin'" and they definitely do not claim that they are a 'snoggin' sensation'. Jas delivers a cringe worthy string of phrases about the boy she likes, and whilst doing so makes a total tit out of herself: "He has a fit bum! QUALITY lushness. Oh I just want to go over there and snog his face off!" I know this can't be an accurate manner of speaking. Oh and Georgia delivers another line that will infuriate you: "Remember. He's from a broken home, so you have to be extra sensitive." Here she uses the implication that being with a divorced parent requires more sensitivity. I don't really know if the writers were purposefully trying to make Georgia dislikeable...So having moaned about the film (and believe me, I could've written more), it's thoroughly entertaining if you're watching it with like- minded friends who want nothing better than a good session of ripping it apart and laughing at the idea that some poorly delusional person wrote this fantastical fairytale between a 'sex god' with a helium high voice and a moronic heroine who tries to find hope in her obnoxious and boring life that was once filled with My Little Ponies, listening to Scouting for Girls and concocting 'snogging scales'. I think a sequel is necessary, where Georgia wakes up from her dream and tries to turn up at the door her boyfriend usually waits at, only to realise that the events over the past few days have been nothing but a dream.
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.
