Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging

After dinner tonight Sophie and I watched the teen movie that arrived today from Lovefilm. (Emily had already seen it when it was on circuit, and Stephen and Bobby care not for cheesy girly movies). I didn't have very high expectations of the film, but it was surprisingly enjoyable, in a sweetly predictable way. And a bonus was the fact that the film is set in Eastbourne, so we recognised places where we'd walked. They filmed on this pier, for instance -





and we saw a shot, taken from the pier, very similar to the one below.





The film's main effect on me, though, was to make me desperately, desperately grateful that I survived my own teenage years and never, ever, have to re-live all that angst.
