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.
hambardzumyan-anna The film starts off promising - the lead character, Georgia, is attending a fancy dress party in a self-made stuffed olive costume, instead of cool staples normally worn at these occasions - only to find that her best friends have given in to the pressure and turned up as an angel, a devil and a fairy princess. She leaves, distraught and embarrassed, to throw a teenage temper-tantrum in front of her bewildered parents at home.It gets worst here. Georgia and her friends' school life, we see the generic cliché high school characters before we hear the girls discussing sexual matters in break time. So far so good. The film then moves on to presenting the male main character(s), Robbie and Tom, strutting across the school yard with the girls swooning over these "sex-gods". In the ensuing "boy-watching", the four girls practically stalk the group of boys while peering through binoculars.This dilemma becomes evident yet again in the events unfolding after Georgia and Robbie have shared their first kiss with each other. Robbie leaves Georgia behind by saying that he "has something to sort out" (finishing with his girlfriend Lindsey, we are left to assume) and she returns home to wait for his phone call, which never comes. Encouraged by the one-dimensional guidance of that sad genre called 'self-help' books, namely Men are from Mars, Women from Venus, she sets out to win Robbie back by the oldest of all manipulation techniques: making him jealous by going out with his mate who she isn't even interested in. What really disturbs me in this movie is the character of Georgia she is the ugliest girl I've ever seen and 3 cool boys fell in love with her .
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.
Cedric_Catsuits A cast comprising non-actors (notably Davies, Taylor and Jones) and talentless actors (notably Groome) combine with a fussy, childish and unimaginative script to produce one of the dullest movies ever. Maybe it was intended to appeal to kids, but with the amount of sex and nudity on show it's not exactly suitable for family viewing.Apparently based on a book published in 1999, the dialogue could easily have come from 1950s middle England. I want to assure all non-Brits that the characters portrayed here are in no way representative of modern Britain. I seriously doubt the writers had normal childhoods, and certainly not in England.I have no idea who this sort of fluffy, lightweight film making might appeal to, but it certainly isn't me and I can't imagine anyone who appreciates a good movie will enjoy this.
