Beauty and the Geek teams a group of beautiful girls with a bunch of genius guys in the hope that one group’s strengths will help overcome the other group’s weaknesses. The “Beauties” are a group of stunningly attractive young women who are used to getting what they want whenever they want it. Each “Geek” is one of the country’s next brain surgeons, rocket scientists or philosophers.

Despite their massive intellects, these guys don’t possess the confidence or social skills to even talk to a girl let alone ask her out on a date. Partnered into Beauty and the Geek teams, each mentors each other. In a series of hilarious contests, the super-attractive women go head-to-head in a battle of intellect, while the troop of genius guys compete to prove who can be the coolest, hippest and sexiest. The team most successful in this transformation share a massive cash prize.

With endearing comedy, Beauty and the Geek proves that everyone has the power to change… with a sense of humour, hard work and a little help from a friend.
