Disney's Geek Charming Is The Perfect Gift For Tweens

The Disney Channel’s latest, made-for-television film, “Geek Charming”, is based on the book by Robin Palmer.  It is the story of Dylan (Sarah Hyland), a popular girl who seems to care about nothing but fashion and being popular, and Josh (Matt Prokop), a less popular boy who wants to be a filmmaker.

The whole story is about Dylan wanting to be Blossom Queen and Josh wanting to be a director; but in order for Josh to be a director, he has to impress a man with a film.  Josh wants Dylan to star in his film to count it as a real success, and Dylan wants to star in Josh's film to improve her chances of becoming Blossom Queen.  They both see filmmaking as the key to fortune.

The movie really brings out the inner self of the characters, especially so for this kind of film. The story isn't too shabby either, though it is aided by a lack of B-plot distractions.

The movie is, at its best with its moments of comedy strewn about it.  Dylan’s facial expression when she saw her loaner car after having her own towed away was a crack-up moment.  Another was when everyone looked at Josh like he had no clothes on just because he sat at the cool table at lunch.

Aside from the main film feature found on the disc, the DVD collection also contains 10 episodes of Disney Channel’s Shake It Up, and to complete the package a pair of charms for best friends to share with each other.

All this combined provides a great piece of entertainment and enjoyment for the young tween in your household as well as the entire family.
