History YMMV / GeekCharming

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: In the movie, Dylan and Josh are portrayed by Sarah Hyland and Matt Prokop, who were also a couple in real life. Hyland has confessed that Prokop has abused her over the last four years of their relationship, and had also sent her threats and suicidal messages after they broke up in 2014. It's a little difficult to see the film as "charming" moreso than cringe-worthy now.

* UnnecessaryMakeover: Dylan gives one to Josh.

* WhatAnIdiot: At the climax of the film when Josh shows his documentary at a screening, Dylan walks out on it because she assumes it's showing everyone "the real her" that she's embarassed by and making her look bad. What makes her an idiot in this situation is that what was being shown at the time was ''the fake her'' and not [[LovableAlphaBitch the real her]], and what makes ''Josh'' an idiot is responding by stammering unconvincing arguments instead of just outright telling her "it's not the real you they're laughing at! Keep watching!"

* CanonSue: Amy in the original book, who is constantly described as perfect by Josh and he turns out to be entirely right about that (that the book's dedication is to a real-life Amy who the author is apparently close to explains a lot.)

* BrokenAesop: In the book, a point of the story is that you can't have a relationship with someone based on just appearances if you don't really know the person you're with (ie: Dylan and Asher) Yet Josh has a crush on Amy based only on what he ''percieves'' her to be even though he barely knows her, and it just turns out that everything he thinks about her is true when he [[LastMinuteHookup gets together with her at the very end.]] (See below.)
