Awkwardness, the first kiss, parents from the stone age and having a nose the size of Jupiter have never been so compelling as in this fresh and funny film. But there's plenty more to enjoy about this likeable coming of age film in which Georgia Groome's awkward fourteen year old Georgia negotiates her tragic universe in an endearing and funny film about girls, boys, parents and those well described topics of the title. ...

Angus, the other part of the awkward title, is a cat who appears to have a thing for cross-dressing. We first meet Georgia when she is confidently heading off to a fancy dress party dressed as an olive. ... Full Review

The title is horrible, and I'm afraid I didn't find the movie attached to it much better. The travails of 14-year-old girls have their place, like anyone else's, but they're nothing like as funny or as cute as the writer-director... ... Full Article
