Sydney White Reviews

The story simply tells not to give up so easily... It also tells that "dork" is not that bad... :) Another good movie of Amanda Bynes that you should not miss to watch...

I actually love this modern day take on the Snow White tale. Sydney White and her nerd gang of outcasts are just cute, and the story, while definitely fluff, is entertaining, has re-watchability, draws you in and keeps you engaged from start to finish. You know how it will all turn out, yet you keep watching.

Even though for at least 7 years, Lindsay Lohan seemed to be the poster child of a young star going a-wire, in the last couple of years, Amanda Bynes managed to show that, in fact, it could be even worse. It's a pity because, when Amanda Bynes started her career some time ago, you could see she had some potential. Anyway, I won’t go too much into details but the girl seems to have some major issues. Pretty much like Lohan, the whole thing is pretty sad. I mean, Amanda Bynes was never really a great actress, but at least, as she was popular and pretty charismatic. Unfortunately, before her meltdown, she was really chosing only the most worthless movies and this one was a very good example. Indeed, the story was just lame, predictable and not funny at all. Basically, the whole appeal was supposed to lie on Bynes’s charisma but even though she tried really hard, I was really bored by the whole thing. I mean, sure, she was playing the lead but, with such a lame concept, she should had rather focused on some more interesting parts like in ‘Hairspray’ or ‘Easy A’. Anyway, to conclude, the whole thing was a complete waste of time and you should just avoid it, even if you are a die-hard fan of Amanda Bynes.

ELA E OS CARAS - Nesta versão moderna de "Branca de Neve e os Sete Anões", Sydney é caloura na faculdade e, quando é expulsa da fraternidade mais popular do campus, vai morar com sete nerds. Cansada de como os garotos são tratados, ela passa a lutar para defender os direitos de seus novos amigos.

Sydney White (Bynes) is not just a typical college freshman, she's also a Kappa Phi Nu sister who, with the death of her mother, was raised by her father (Schneider), a plumber. As it soon becomes evident that she isn't KPN material, she finds a home in the Vortex, with 7 guys. With them, she will fight for what they believe in.

I can't think of any word that describes this film, other than "fun". Because that's what it is. It's not great, it's not smart or witty, it's funny but not that much, it's just plain fun.
No extraordinary acting, nothing of great significance.
Another good hour and a half of good ol' fun.
