[edit] Synopsis

Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging is a coming of age story - a very British take on American high school movies like Clueless and Mean Girls. 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 best friends - "The Ace Gang" - Georgia struggles through life seeking out her two main desires: 1. To get a gorgeous sex-god as her boyfriend and 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 being 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.
