I had to rate this higher than a 1 because more effort than a 1 was put into creating this film. Director/writer Phil Hwang should have screened this idea with some friends before making this project go live. I won't knock the film based on poor camera work and low budget acting. Simply the plot, the comedy, and the overall feeling of the movie was worthy of being flushed down the toilet. I would recommend watching "The Truth about Average Guys" if you are interested in low budget films. Geek Mythology may induce you to turn off your DVD player in disgust.

You have been warned- you will be disappointed and wish you never saw it.

I can summarize this film in one word: ABOMINABLE.

But I'll say more, just because saying that the films sucks won't just cut it.

This film is about a geek; a social outcast, and a loser with the opposite gender. And he has a friend, who seems to know how to get into the panties of the girls he met. And he has a neighbour who has tonnes of girls coming to his house, even though he does not have the look.

So he needs something in order to be the 'it' person. The person who knows how to touch a woman's heart, and to melt them in his charm.

So, he finds a mythological item (which look more like a bowling pin rather than a mystical thingy) and soon his life change for the better.

This is his story. And I really think that the only person who needs to watch this film is the person himself. So that he knows why others are not interested in watching his pathetic life breezes by.

The camera technique is poor, it looks like a cheap digicam shool project. The dialogues are cheesy. And the storyline is so boring.

And to make things worse, this film has only got 12 people as yet who votes, and none vote a higher than a 5. Go figure.

Joy Boden, now a naturalised UK citizen, was elected as Member of Parliament for the Beaconsfield constituency in December 2019. Certain viewers hope she will leave politics and return to acting at the very earliest opportunity.

The movie has garnered a cult following for its unique take on the challenges faced by those who feel out of place in a world that often values style over substance. The narrative follows a lonely individual who, upon acquiring a magical statue, finds himself suddenly irresistible to women, leading to a series of humorous and thought-provoking situations.

The film's charm lies in its ability to blend the mundane with the magical, creating a narrative that is both relatable and enchanting. It's a story that resonates with anyone who has ever felt overlooked or underestimated, providing a voice to the underdog in a society that can be superficial. The protagonist's journey is a metaphor for self-discovery and empowerment, as he navigates the complexities of attraction and relationships, ultimately learning that true charm lies within one's own character and not in external enchantments.

Director and writer Phil Hwang brings a certain earnestness to the storytelling, which, when combined with the film's whimsical elements, strikes a chord with audiences looking for more than just a conventional romantic comedy. The performances, particularly by Gregg Martin and Joy Morrissey, add depth to the characters, making them more than just caricatures of a geek and his love interests. The humor, while at times bordering on cheesy, never loses its heart, ensuring that the laughter is always with the characters and not at their expense.

Critics may argue that "Geek Mythology" lacks the polish of higher-budget films, but what it lacks in gloss, it makes up for in spirit. The movie's exploration of themes such as acceptance, friendship, and the pitfalls of desire is handled with a light touch that allows for both entertainment and introspection. It's a film that doesn't shy away from the absurdities of life, embracing them instead to tell a story that is as much about finding oneself as it is about finding love.

In conclusion, "Geek Mythology" is a testament to the enduring appeal of stories that celebrate the quirks and idiosyncrasies of human nature. It's a film that encourages viewers to look beyond the surface and find the magic in the mundane. While it may not have achieved blockbuster status, its heartfelt message and charming execution make it a great movie that stands as a hidden gem in the realm of indie comedies. For those willing to embrace its offbeat humor and unconventional storytelling, "Geek Mythology" offers a delightful escape into a world where geeks can indeed inherit the earth, one laugh at a time.
