Girl-on-Gurinder snogging

Gurinder Chadha’s Brit teen comedy Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging costars young Manjeeven Grewal as Namita, grabbing herself in way that’s ‘lesbiany.’ How that conversation must’ve gone with her parents:

Due in July, the flick is based on a young adult book by Louise Rennison. Chadha manages to convince me the Brits have Valley girls too:

Misunderstood by her ancient parents, but buoyed up by the love of her cat Angus and her bessie mates the Ace Gang, Georgia struggles through life seeking out her two main desires: 1. To get a gorgeous sex-god as her boyfriend. 2. To throw the greatest 15th birthday party ever. [Link]

I wouldn’t have considered Bride and Prejudice a selling point on the CV, but that’s just me.

    Oh, heavens. The acting is atrocious. Nearly as bad as B&P. How’d she manage to pull off Beckham? On the sheer strength of Parminder and Keira?

    Watch the Valley girl reference.

    Lenny Kravitz’ vid for ‘California’ is, obviously, about SoCal beaches. You’ve nicked our Bay Area brand, what more do you want? :)

    hmm..
    I liked both bend it like beckhem and Bride and prejudice..chadda made pride and prejudice in her own unique style and I loved the way she indianised it..
    And I dont even know where my bride and prejudice dvd is but many of my american friends borrowed it and loved it and thought it was as good as her bend it like beckham..
    I was surprised when she and her hubby choose to make mistress of spices..I thought that was a boring novel not at all good to make a movie..they made it and I think it was a flop.
    Have to admit this new one looks weird..I will not see this movie of chadda for sure..not to my taste…
    I hope she makes better movies..

    She’s like a one-woman mediocrity machine.

    Easy now, you don’t want to piss of that group “South Asian Sisters”. You saw what they did to Kal Penn…
