Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging
12A, Nationwide

Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging is a teen movie as may be rather obvious from the title — come on, it was hardly going to explore the terrible reality of Bosnia’s post-war traumas; get a grip — and we are all for teen movies, aren’t we? A teen movie may at least get a teen out of the house. The boys are OK. They sleep most of the day and then go on the internet. But the girls! They can’t go anywhere if their hair isn’t right and it’s no good saying, ‘It looks perfectly all right to me,’ because then it’s, ‘What do you know about hair?’ and so you say, ‘I’ve had hair for quite a few years now, actually, young lady,’ and so they say, ‘Yes, but…LOOK AT IT!’ This is why it is good for teen girls to have movies to go to.
