Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging is a hilarious coming of age story Gurinder Chadha’s very British take on American high school movies like 'Clueless' and ‘Mean Girls’.
Based on the International best-selling series of books by Louise Rennison, the film follows the eccentric and irresistible Georgia Nicolson as she overcomes the trauma of being a teenager and moves up the ‘snogging scale’.
Misunderstood by her ancient parents, but buoyed up by the love of her cat Angus and her bessie mates the Ace Gang, Georgia struggles through life seeking out her two main desires: 1. To get a gorgeous sex-god as her boyfriend. 2. To throw the greatest 15th birthday party ever.
When handsome brothers Tom and Robbie arrive at school, Georgia thinks her boyfriend dreams have been answered. But when she sees Robbie with her arch rival Lindsay, she devises a plan to show Robbie that she’s the mature, sophisticated girlfriend he deserves.
Unfortunately Georgia’s plans - involving snogging lessons, stalking Lindsay, and dying her legs orange - don’t exactly run smoothly.
Alongside her own romance problems Georgia's parents are going through a turbulent time, with the result that Georgia feels the responsibility for holding the family together rests on her shoulders.
In her quest to get Robbie and keep her family from splitting, Georgia transforms from a selfish girl into a young woman who’s grown beyond the valley of the fab and into the universe of marvy.
