Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging (2008)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Paramount had been sitting on Louise Rennison's British books for five years after handing the adaptation to two American writers who could not make it work. The writer who took over found the existing script read like an LA male's version of an English girl's childhood and rebuilt it as a British answer to Clueless and Mean Girls.
- It was the first film produced by Nickelodeon Movies ever to be given a PG-13 rating, and it never opened in American cinemas at all: its US premiere was on television, on Nick at Nite and TeenNick.
- The school uniforms were not made for the film: the green blazers and kilts were borrowed from St. Bede's Prep School in Eastbourne, and the crew carted Eastbourne's distinctive blue bins around as props so that scenes shot in different towns would match.
