Rachael Brooks, 16, has been doing work experience with us this week. We asked her for her views of the latest teen film to hit screens - Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging...

ANGUS, Thongs and Perfect Snogging is, without doubt, the ultimate feel-good flick of the summer.
Based on the books 'Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging', and 'It's OK, I'm Wearing Really Big Knickers' by Louise Rennison, the film centres around Georgia Nicolson, 14, as she battles her way through typical teenage traumas.
The film is full of humour right from the start when an attempt to shape her eyebrows leaves Georgia with half an eyebrow!
Upon returning to school with her new look, Georgia and her best friend, Jas, discover that two brothers, Tom and Robbie, have moved to Eastbourne (where the film is set, as well as filmed) from London.
Georgia decides that she prefers Robbie, and Jas wants Tom, so the girls hatch an hilarious plan to get close to the boys. However, Georgia finds that getting Robbie is more challenging than she thought, as her arch enemy, "slaggy" Lindsay, has also got her eye on him.
Georgia's hysterical attempts at exploiting Lindsay (such as using binoculars in order to see what underwear she wears) and wooing Robbie will have your sides splitting.
Meanwhile, Georgia's parents (played by British comedians Alan Davies and Karen Taylor), are facing problems of their own.
Georgia believes that her mother is having an affair with hunky decorator Jem (T4's Steve Jones), while her father is working in New Zealand.
The relationship between Georgia and her parents is performed to a tee, and is probably recognisable to every teenage girl.
Georgia Groome wins us over with her cheeky charm and gives a natural and engaging performance as Georgia Nicolson.
A funny, easy-to-watch Brit-flick with a killer soundtrack, 'Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging' is a must-see for anyone who is or has been a teenager.
