Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging is a 2008 British coming-of-age film co-written and directed by Gurinder Chadha. The film's lead is played by Georgia Groome, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Karen Taylor amongst the supporting cast. The story is based on two teenage novels by Louise Rennison: Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging and It's OK, I'm Wearing Really Big Knickers. The narrative follows fourteen-year-old Georgia Nicholson (Groome) as she tries to find a boyfriend while also organising her fifteenth birthday party.
Georgia Nicholson (Georgia Groome) is a 14-year-old girl who has many stresses in her life. She thinks her parents and little sister are embarrassing, that her nose is too big, and that she will never get a boyfriend. She is also trying to plan her fifteenth birthday party, wanting it to be cool and trendy, which is not what her parents have in mind. On the last day before the new school year, she attends a fancy dress party dressed as a stuffed olive, "to be original", but gets laughed at by the other party-goers, most of all by Georgia's rival, "Slaggy" Lindsay (Kimberley Nixon) - a pretty, blonde, but spiteful girl in the year above at Georgia's school.
On the first day of the school year, Georgia and her friends, Jas (Eleanor Tomlinson), Ellen (Manjeeven Grewal) and Rosie (Georgia Henshaw) spot two new brothers that have just moved to Eastbourne from London, fraternal twins Robbie (Aaron Johnson) and Tom. The girls all find the boys attractive, especially Georgia and Jas, who fancy Robbie and Tom respectively. The four girls follow the boys around Eastbourne as they explore the town with their friend Dave "the Laugh" (Tommy Bastow).
