The movie focuses on the Potter family. In case you're wondering, yes, there is a Literature/HarryPotter – two of them, in fact (father and son) – and this was ''long'' [[HilariousInHindsight before J.K. Rowling wrote the books]]. Wendy Potter, the obnoxious little girl of the family, is abducted by the troll, who then takes her form and infiltrates into the family. For the remainder of the movie, Torok takes advantage of the weakening of magical barriers on Walpurgisnacht to turn the Potters' neighbors into plant pods to generate more trolls to take over the world with. Anyway, Harry Potter Junior (Hathaway) realizes that his sister has been replaced... only after watching two sci-fi movies. And even then, he assumes she's an alien. It takes a meeting with local witch Eunice St. Clair (Lockhart) for Harry Jr. to understand what is really happening, and then he solves everything.

I don't think this qualifies -= the character does not come across as unintelligent for his age (14) and there's nothing in the story indicating he gets by based on his looks as the trope definition requires.

''Troll'' is a 1986 American BMovie about [[AllTrollsAreDifferent Torok]] the [[AntagonistTitle Troll]] (no relation to {{ComicBook/Turok}} or [[Literature/TheBelgariad Torak]]). Directed by John Carl Buechler, this was marketed as a HorrorComedy, but shares far more aspects with the UrbanFantasy genre, and in fact works better when viewed as such. The cast includes Noah Hathaway (of ''Film/TheNeverEndingStory'' fame), Creator/MichaelMoriarty, Creator/ShelleyHack, Music/SonnyBono, Creator/PhilFondacaro, Creator/JuliaLouisDreyfus, Creator/BradHall, and Creator/JuneLockhart.
