I heard about this movie from a dear friend who had watched it with her children. She assured me that I would love it and she was right as it turns out. This film became one of my many favorites.
The plot of this movie tells of a teenage girl named Georgia (played by Georgia Groome) who is narrating the ups and downs of her present. Georgia lives with her family which includes her parents and her little sister Libby and her beloved cat Angus. She has three close friends including Jas, Ellen, and Rosie. She is looking forward to her birthday party and begins to heavily crush on a new boy that moves into the neighborhood named Robbie (played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson). Right around this time Georgia's father leaves for New Zealand for a job promotion. During her father's absence, Georgia begins a quest to get Robbie as a boyfriend and have an awesome birthday party.
Things change and not always for the better during Georgia's efforts to win Robbie. She goes from being very selfish and bratty to being more mature and accepting of things and people. There is lots of comedy with just enough drama to give the film more substance than you might expect from a "teen" movie. All in all, the film was so enjoyable. The cast was great. The story was great. I personally think that this is a very good family film and excellent coming of age story. Plus the music used in the film was great.
