I wasn't aware that the movie version is called Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging.

Or that there still doesn't seem to be a US release date.

Yeah, they said they changed it so that US audiences would identify with it more. But that doesn't make any sense, why would they change the movie title and not the book title? I believe the US release date is October 2nd, isn't it?

I don't know -- I checked IMDb and the movie website and didn't see the date listed, but maybe they just need to update! I think they used the identify line, but they were probably actually worried that the words 'full-frontal' would scare people off...

That is so sad. Great to live in a country where they can show bloody ultimate fighting on CBS on prime time, but we still can't handle even the phrase "full frontal." Who wants to move to Great Britain with me?

Well, that's just my guess -- I could be wrong!
