Perfect snogging

Who name their movie, Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging? Answer. Those who adapt it from the book Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging. From the writer-director of Bend It Like Beckham comes a modern English fairy tale involving teenagers and their most serious of problems: mainly hooking up and snogging. It was almost like any other teenage movie off Holywood, except that it had a decidedly English flair. The story was nothing spectacular and, at times, was familiar and predictable. But the beautiful English mixed suburban-country side setting made it fresh. And it's not really a fairy tale. It just felt like it was, with its ending and all.

There was this scene in the movie where one of the characters didn't seem to mind being under the rain all the while wearing the school uniform. It reminded me of Night Owl from Watchmen. No umbrellas. Let the rain pour. It's been a while since I last took a walk or played under the rain. There was this one rainy day in elementary (it rained a lot in my home city) where I'd wear a raincoat going to school, but walked all the way home without it. Good time, care-free times.
