Geek charming (2011) [25/50]




Language: English            

Cast: Sarah Hyland, Matt Prokop, Jordan Nichols, Sasha Pieterse.

Story: A story about two high school students, one popular and one geek who over the course of time while working on a joint project find the true meaning of class difference and friendship.

Screenplay and direction: The direction and screenplay are both good enough could have been better.

Performances: for me the lead actress Sarah Hyland made all the difference, you don’t see these teen actresses really giving sincere performances too often. She was pretty and in the scenes she needed to be a good actress she shines. Matt Prokop is cute and likable. Others have played their part.

Interesting: Even though the movie is set in LA, the license plate on one of the cars is of washingtopn.

USP: sweet, hear warming, adorable Disney style.

Downside: cliché, teenager movie, similar things have been made, plot is too obvious.

Verdict: When I started watching the moving within the first 10 mins I felt that I was too old for Disney movies and especially teenage movies, but fortune favors the ones that persevere. The movie turned out to be heart warming, with good performances from the actors and a sincere script. Yes cliché, yes the same lessons on friendship, but still so sweet. I like it watch it.7/10
