Sydney White

Amanda Bynes, Sara Paxton, Matt Long, Jack Carpenter, Jeremy Howard

In a college comedy that puts a modern-day twist on an age-old story, Sydney White tells the tale of a tomboy freshman who ditches her conniving sorority sisters and finds a new home with a group of v...( read more  read more... )ery dorky outcasts. Fed up with the way they’ve all been treated, she’s off to war against the reigning campus royalty. Gorgeous freshman Sydney White (Amanda Bynes) has come to Southern Atlantic University to pledge her late mom’s once-dignified sorority. But while surviving the pledging process wrought by evil campus witch Rachel (Sara Paxton), Syd finds out this version of sisterhood isn’t remotely what it’s cracked up to be. Banished to a condemned house on Greek Row, Syd finds her rightful place with a band of seven very socially challenged guys. With the help of one lovestruck frat boy named Tyler (Matt Long), she and the doofs campaign to take over student government. Fighting for the rights of misfits big and small, Syd organizes her gang to revolutionize the system, once and for all. In a biting new comic film for the nerd in us all, Amanda Bynes brings her trademark style of comedy to the story of a plumber’s daughter who builds an army of dorks done wrong: Sydney White.

    The movie "Sydney White" is a pretty good version of the tomboy-not-fitting-in-but-is-an-outstanding-person movie. After being kicked out of her sorority, Sydney takes up with seven losers - ala Snow White and the seven dwarfs. Of course in this fairy tale, Sydney defeats the s...( read more)narky witch and everybody goes home feeling happy.

    Typical tween college comedy where the big lesson is to be yourself and accept others. Clichéd characters and predictable situations ensue. Luckily the Snow White twists add some harmless fun and the good nature makes it a very good family film. The real success lies in the cast...( read more)ing of the 7 dorks. Real comedic talents have been chosen and these are comedic talents with acting chops. Sam Levine really shines and it's good to know he will get some extreme exposure in Tarantino's Inglourios Basterds. Bynes is her usual awkward, bubbly self. The film has funny moments, lines and has an excellent dynamic between cast members.

    Tell me if this sounds familiar. A kind-hearted outsider comes to a college or high school and leads a group of misfits to victory over the stuck-up, popular kids. This is the exact plot of tons of movies, including Sydney White.

    The writers of the movie tried to add some uniqu...( read more)eness to the movie by adding in a few references to Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, but beyond a few last names, this isn't very noticeable. It certainly doesn't make up for the fact that most of the jokes fall flat.

    Your enjoyment of Sydney White will probably depend directly on how much you like Amanda Bynes. I think that she is a lovely young lady and usually very funny, but this film feels like a step backwards after the much funnier She's the Man. Maybe it's time for Amanda to try out a few different kinds of roles until a comedy that truly lets her shine comes along.

    I watched this movie because I liked "Revenge of the Nerds" and heard it was similar. It wasn't nearly as funny!

    A little similar like "The House Bunny". But this is more tasty! Amanda Bynes always great becoming such a tomboy girl. She really good on that role! This is a fresh teen movie ever, i always loved and never hate this kind of genre. See it!
