Entering College is a time of great transition, but Sydney White (Amanda Bynes) is secure in her plan to follow in her late-mother's footsteps and pledge Kappa Phi Nu sorority when she arrives at Southern Atlantic University. Raised by a plumber father and a host of other construction workers, the comic book collection toting Sydney is definitely her own unique person and has some decidedly tomboy tendencies that contrast starkly with the ditzy, superficial girls she meets at her first sorority function. Sorority leader and student council president Rachel (Sara Paxton) takes an instant dislike to Sydney and vows to make her rushing experience intolerable. Only Tyler (Mat Long), a member of one of the campus fraternities, seems to see and appreciate the real Sydney. After weeks of hazing abuse, Rachel declares Sydney unfit to join the sorority and a despondent Sydney joins seven misfit boys in a soon-to-be-condemned house on Greek Row known as the Vortex. Fueled by the desire for revenge and a newly discovered sense of respect and belonging thanks to her new roommates, Sydney decides to fight back against the snobbery of the Greek elite and champion the rights of all misfits on campus by running against Rachel for Student Council President. By rallying the support of interest groups and misfits campus-wide, it appears that Sydney might just have a chance of winning. This film begins with an almost gag-inducing portrayal of sorority snobbery at its worst and soon gives way to a hysterically comic look at the under-representation of the masses in collegiate society. The satirical parallel to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is heavy (this is the story of "Sydney White and the Seven Dorks" complete with Sneezy, Sleepy, and Doc) and the portrayal of interest groups on college campuses is farcical to the extreme. All in all, Sydney White is hysterically funny and surprisingly appealing to audiences of both genders and a wide age range. Rated PG-13 for some language, sexual humor, and partying. --Tami Horiuchi

Rating:  - I'm sorry, I'm still learning to speak priss
Sydney White is a 2007 revamped and dorkified version of the classic fairy-tale Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Of course in this tale Snow White is named Sydney(Amanda Bynes) and she's on a mission to join her deceased mother's sorority, which is a far cry for a girl such as herself; being raised by all men construction workers with a love of comic books.
When the evil witch of the Kappas' Rachel Witchburn(Sara Paxton) deems Sydney 'non-kappa material' for flirting ... Read More
Rating:  - "Are You Kidding Me?!"
What are you people smoking here?! This must have been Amanda Bynes last role in fulfillment of a contract; either that, or she's got a really bad director, because this movie is as unfocused as she is. I was going to say untalented as well, but in the right part she actually has a two-dimensional appeal; only this isn't it.
It's billed as a re-telling of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, but that's an insult to the Brothers Grimm. This "D" list movie doesn't even have the class of ... Read More
Rating: - A Decent Modern Day Re-Telling of a Classic Fairy Tale...
I'm just going to start off by saying that this is not the kind of movie that I would pick to watch on my own time. It was my wife's night to pick which movie we were going to watch, and she had several from which to choose from; but when she saw that I had recently purchased "Sydney White" for her from our local video store she opted to watch it over all the other contenders. Personally, I had no opinion either way about this movie; I hadn't heard whether it was good, bad, etc.; so, I was pretty ... Read More
Rating: - Revamping Snow White
Combine Snow White, Animal House and Revenge of The Nerds and you have Syndey White.
This modern retelling fairytale of Snow White. It follows a beautiful college freshman Syndey White (played by Amanda Bynes) as she pledges her late mother's sorority. But after discovering that today's sisterhood is not what it used to be, Sydney makes new home away from home with seven nerdy outcasts. With the help of her new friends, Sydney will take on Rachel, the reigning campus queen (Sara Paxton) ... Read More
Rating: - NOTHING NEW, BUT ENJOYABLE ROMANTIC COMEDY!
I watched this film with an open mind, because Amanda Bynes while appealing still relies too much on rolling her baby blues instead of her acting chops. This is a mildly funny film with some help from some quirky characters. The theme loosely follows Snow White and the 7 Dwarves, but I'll be damned if I could tell what dwarves they were supposed to be. Sleepy was easy enough, but Dopey/Happy?, Doc/Sneezy?, Grumpy/Bashful? seamed to all have little traits of each dwarf, this probably worked for the better ... Read More
