In The Secret Lives of Dorks, Payton (Gaelan Connell) is a pathetic dork, a comic book geek whose high school career is one hopeless faux pas after another. Yet he's a dreamer and madly in love with the head cheerleader Carrie (Riley Voelkel), who he is determined to win over. But she is wise to his desperate advances, so to get off his radar she creates a plan to push him into the arms of a dorkette at the school, Samantha (Vanessa Marano).

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Loved this one. I had a great script and was very funny! Great performances all around from the cast! If you are a self identified nerd like myself I really think you will enjoy it even more as there is a fresh take on the main character who is a nerd. It does have the requisite teenagers who make up the social caste system of every high school themed film but is definitely presented in a fresh and original way! My rating 9/10

A painful flick to watch!I used the 'pickup lines' (which are the funniest part of the movie) as band aides for my wounds.I adore Jennifer Tilly and why she gets bad roles is just a mystery -- she has the best role in this mind numbing flick. Certainly a movie made for the tween and early teen group.The laughs and plot line are so thin in the story it's an ordeal to write a review. It's a high school 'in group' = stupid kids vs the 'out group' = smart kids. An out group kid likes an in group girl - she both ignores him and pities him. Football guy is a jerk!End of story!

We all know the story we've seen it a million times but what set it apart was that the dorks in this movie weren't just dorks but awkward beyond awkward but they still managed to fall in line with each other making the age old cliché there is someone for everyone rang true. This movie is awkward because the two lead actors characters are so awkward and then his dad is just a horrible parent who teaches his son stupid "macho" quips to live by. If you want something to distract you and you don't want to think then this is a good movie to watch. I liked the girls hair in this movie it was full of body. Interesting cast mostly all new comers.

This doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it's a fun, pleasant, good-natured wheel. Smart, clever and funny, with fresh twists on the typical high school underdog comedy. Tone reminds of Suburgatory or Hairspray: if you liked those, see it. If you hated them, don't. Also like Suburgatory, really gifted young cast. It gives all the main stars loads of fun moments, and they nail them time after time. Jennifer Tilly is great and hilarious as usual, and Jim Belushi is really good too. I maybe could have gone for a bit less gross-out humor, but a couple of the gross-outs were actually funny and original. For what it was designed to be, great execution. Sound is a little muddy in the opening moments, but then improves, so hang in there, relax, and enjoy.
