Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Load of rubbish!!
The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Geek Charming is a 2011 romantic teen comedy by Disney Channel and tells the story of a unpopular guy named Josh Rosen(Matt Prokop)who wants to film a movie about popularity for the school film festival. So he asks the popular girl in school Dylan(Sarah Hyland)to be involved in his movie. But as the two spend some time together Josh realises that Dylan was a geek just like him into films but she hated who she was and adapted this persona to get in with the cool kids. But will she ditch her popular friends for nerdy friends as well as romance blossoming between her and Josh?Now I am not the target audience for this movie but as a childless 24 year old woman I found myself actually liking this movie. Is it Oscar worthy no its not,but what draws me to this film is the story. You've got someone who is trying to be someone they are not and a lot of people do this in order to fit in. The moral I got out of this film was to be yourself and not let anybody judge you for who you really are. The chemistry between former couple Matt Prokop and Sarah Hyland was sweet and the humor was grand for a TV movie.In my opinion its a lot better than the other Disney Channel movies(I am looking at you High School Musical).My rating is a 7/10 and my grade for this movie is a B-. Like I said I really enjoyed it.
View MoreI would not take this movie even if it was free and came with a million dollars. The movie is about a popular (nothing different for Disney channel) girl aka a spoiled brat that wants to be blossom queen and a nerdy geek wants to film a movie about her to see what popular life is about. I don't know what it is with Disney and thinking that every pretty girl needs to be the devil. Then there's the "since you are a computer expert that automatically makes you a geek/nerd that will never have a girlfriend" persona that Disney channel thinks is important to ram down everyone's throat. Let's not forget the popular girl has to date the handsome jock that probably can't count past 10 scenario. There has been a good number of D COM movies that I have really liked but they all seem to have one character that you just can't stand, so why waste your time with the movie. Do yourself a favor, avoid this movie!!
View Moreit was worth the watch. you could see how the film was going to end up a mile away but that didn't take anything away fro the fat it was still good to put on. it was Disneyed up a bit as well so people into that sort of thing would enjoy the film. the way the film went about the "nerdy" guy showing off his talents in documenting a film and then showing off that the popular girl has a different side to her and is actually a nice person and that everyone in the school an talk to anyone else even though they are into different things. It was overall good watch though me and my girlfriend enjoyed it. It ended well as well so you don't go away annoyed after watching it all.
View MoreGeek Charming is an innocuous but all together impossible tale of the nerd who woos the diva with the technique of making a film documentary about her. Matt Prokop is the film geek and Sarah Hyland is the diva whose biggest ambition in life is to be Blossom Queen of her high school. Even over 40 years ago I well remember about how high school was so regimented into a caste system of cliques. A lot of kids are going to see this teen comedy from Disney Studios and start thinking the barriers are not so impossible. Prokop has his set with other film buffs of which I could have been one and hits on the idea of making a documentary that will gain him a scholarship to film school. He decides to do a documentary exploring the secret of popularity with Hyland as the subject. She's thinking this will help her in her campaign to be Blossom Queens which is what they must call Homecoming Queen in her high school. The crowning achievement of her life? She reminds me so much of the equally vapid Mila Kunis in That Seventies Show who said that nothing would deter her from her ambition to be a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader.And as these films go both start to change each other just by being in close association. It's the Disney Studios so their product is usually limited in the directions they go.Propkop and Hyland are decent enough leads and attractive. But nothing terribly out of the ordinary here.
