The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
View MoreTrue to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
View MoreThe film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
View MoreThe movie isn't original. We all have seen many revenge of the nerds/dorks/good guys movies. So you know how it ends before it starts. The bad characters are also so one sided and boring. Nothing special about them, they are just overdone bad.But I still like the movie. I give it above average rating because I liked all the Snow White references. Mainly the poisoned apple and the seven dwarfs. They make the movie especially funny with their charming characters and personalities. So it is a pretty good movie when one doesn't expect much and just wants a few laughs.
View MoreI can't possibly describe in how many ways I hate this movie. When I started watching it I knew it would be cheesy, contain bad jokes and be full of stereotypes. But I never expected something like this. Aside from the fact that Amanda Bynes seems stiff and unnatural (and I don't mean her overdone tan), all the while the movie is trying to be funny and only gets to the point where it's embarrassing. I'm kind of ashamed I even watched it to the end. It's filled with the worst kind of stereotypes and I consider it a joke, that they tried to make Sydney seem different, dorky and nerdy by letting her read comics and have no girlfriends. Seriously? She is so obviously a popular girl that I wonder if there is even one person able to relate to her. Don't get me wrong. I wanted a cheesy 0-8-15 teenager-movie, but they destroyed the whole idea of it by trying to relate to subcultures and outsiders. They only made fun of everyone who does not apply to a certain standard. The lifeless-eyes-no-real-emotions-ever Sydneys on this planet. I wasted almost two precious hours of my life. Thanks for that, Nussbaum. I will never ever watch another movie of yours.PS: I liked the performance of Jack Carpenter. PPS: Oh I could go on describing my hatred towards this movie, but I'll spare you the time and just say: DON'T WATCH IT. PPPS: Pity, that you do have to give a star.
View MoreThe film follows a modern adaptation of the classic fairy tale. The action takes place around Sydney's a nice girl in her first year in college and trying to enter the group of girls who took part her mother witch is deceased but fails. Soon learn that things are not like the old days and meet a group of seven geeks who lives in a house in a stage of decomposition with dust in the attic where the fire broke out suddenly and putting in danger people who live there. Now she has a duty to defeat the "queen" of the campus and restore order in the school and to make the seven to be seen equally in front of their colleagues.Amanda Bynes does not disappoint her fans either this time, successfully managed to interpret this role and many will remember Snow White while they watch this film.
View MoreSydney White, a girl from a working class family, goes to the same college where her late mother graduated, something that makes her a legacy candidate for the Kappa sorority. Little does Sydney realize what awaits her when she makes an enemy of the powerful president of the student body, and the Kappas, Rachel Witchburn. It becomes apparently that the mean spirited Rachel does not like competition and she will make anything in her power to make life impossible for Sydney.As Sydney is rejected from joining the Kappas, she finds refuge at the Vortex, the dilapidated fraternity house that seven young geek types call home. Sydney is a good influence for the guys because she transforms their outlook, as well as give them the necessary tools to overcome their natural shyness and lack of social graces."Sydney White" is a composite of a film in which elements from other movies on the subject has been explored. Joe Nussbaum's direction of the screenplay by Chad Gomez Creasey does not bring anything new one has not already seen. The idea of going to college to learn seems secondary to most students according to Hollywood. The idea that the dork types are losers, while the failing students are cool, perpetuates a myth that is just not so. In the end, the geeks will be employing most of the cool guys who never learned anything in college at minimum wages.The peppy Amanda Bynes is seen in the title role of Sydney. Sarah Paxton, is Rachel Witchburn in all her blondness. Matt Long plays Tyler.
