Synopsis

Misunderstood by her "ancient" parents—but buoyed up by the love of her cat, Angus, and her bessie mates, the Ace Gang - Georgia Nicolson (Georgia Groome) 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 (Sean Bourke) and Robbie (Aaron Johnson) arrive at school, Georgia thinks her boyfriend dreams have been answered. But when she sees Robbie with her arch rival, Slaggy Lindsay (Kimberley Nixon), she devises a plan to show Robbie that she's the mature, sophisticated girlfriend he deserves. Unfortunately Georgia's plans - involving snogging lessons, dying her legs orange and stalking Slaggy Lindsay - don't exactly run smoothly.

In addition her own romance problems, Georgia's dad (Alan Davies) is given an amazing job opportunity in New Zealand. This leaves Georgia's mum (Karen Taylor) open to the charms of builder Jem (Steve Jones), a George Clooney look-a-like who's ancient (mid 30's) but still a fittie. The worry over her parents' marriage is a huge pressure on Georgia, who feels that 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.

Filmed on location in Brighton, Eastbourne and London, the film is directed and produced by Gurinder Chadha (BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM, BRIDE & PREJUDICE), this hilarious coming-of-age story is based on the international best-selling series of books by the British author Louise Rennison, and follows the eccentric and irresistible Georgia Nicolson as she overcomes the trauma of being a teenager.
