5 Reasons to Watch Geek Charming

One of the lesser known Disney Channel Original Movies (or DCOMs) that I enjoy is Geek Charming. It was released on Disney Channel in 2011, stars Sarah Hyland, Matt Prokop, and Sasha Pieterse, and is based on a book with the same name. Hyland plays a popular girl named Dylan who wants to win the high school's spring formal crown, while Prokop is a "film geek" who makes a movie about Hyland's life for a contest (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1835977/). Here are some reasons why you should watch this:

  1. The film is a reverse Cinderella story with many different elements.
  2. Both characters grow throughout the movie, not just one. Dylan and Josh come from completely different worlds both in their activities and their home lives. They must try to get along to succeed.
  3. Vulnerability through student films- Josh sees another side of Dylan as he studies footage and tries to give a real view of her life through his art.
  4. A realistic story- We see time pass through the film. The characters grow slowly rather than transforming overnight.
  5. The message- There's always a side to people that we don't see.
