DVD Reviews of Sydney White (Widescreen Edition)
DVD Review: Cute!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is definitely a chick flick and one of those movies thats been done before, but it is still a great one. If you love Amanda Bynes (which I do) than you will enjoy this cute movie. It has a predictable plot, but still very adorable!DVD Review: Bynes Becomes Snow White
Summary: 3 Stars
Amanda Bynes and Sara Paxton lock horns in "Sydney White," an updated teen/young adult version of the classic fairy tale, "Snow White." In this version, tomboy Sydney heads off to college to follow in her mother's footsteps. Part of that plan includes pledging her mother's sorority. Whenever the head of that sorority (and student president) Rachel Witchburn (Paxton) happens to see Sydney talking to her ex-boyfriend, Tyler (Matt Long), she develops an immediate dislike of her.
Rachel decides to make the sorority rush a complete pain for Sydney in the hopes that she'll back out and to push her away from Tyler. Eventually, Rachel publicly humiliates Sydney and the tomboy finds her way to the Vortex, a home for collegiate outcasts.
From Sneezy to Grumpy, the seven outcasts that befriend Sydney have the seven dwarfs covered. They agree to help Sydney take on the Greek system and Rachel and bring equality among the various groups on campus.
Although "Sydney White" is a very funny and enjoyable film, it never really separates itself from every other outcast film that's hit the screen. The film is very reminiscent of "Revenge of the Nerds." There's plenty of hokey humor, a tad bit of PG-13 sexual humor and some unexpected romance as well.
The cast is likeable. Especially funny are Jeremy Howard and Adam Hendershott. Crystal Hunt turns in a clever performance as Dinky, a fellow pledge that befriends Sydney. John Schneider is also solid as Sydney's father.
Is "Sydney White" a keeper? To a point, yes. It is an enjoyable enough film that most people over the age of thirteen will enjoy it, but I wouldn't suggest you run out and buy it until you've watched it as a rental or on television first.

DVD Review: SNOW WHITE MEETS REVENGE OF THE NERDS
Summary: 4 Stars
"SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS MEETS REVENGE OF THE NERDS" might be the best way to describe this charming college comedy.
Amanda Bynes stars as adorable tomboy Sydney White, a plumber's daughter who goes to a top college on scholarship and, because her late mother was a member, is a legacy to that school's most popular sorority.
Unfortunately, that sorority and the student council is run by the wicked Sara Paxton, who takes an instant dislike to Sydney and sabotages her chance to get into the Greek organization.
Virtually homeless on campus, Sydney is taken in by seven "dorky" guys who reside in a broken down house on campus that Paxton wants to have condemned. Now, Sydney and the seven dorks devise a plan to unseat Paxton from her queenly position.
Joe Nussbaum directed this very likable movie, which co-stars Matt Long as the handsome "Tyler Prince".
DVD extras include deleted scenes, a gag reel and several "Behind the Scenes" featurettes.

Description of Sydney White (Widescreen Edition)
America's sweetheart Amanda Bynes stars in the fun comedy Sydney White! When tomboy Sydney (Bynes) is banished from the most popular sorority on campus, she is taken in by seven socially challenged but endearing guys. With the help of her new friends, Sydney stands up for outcasts everywhere and takes on the reigning campus queen in a popularity showdown! But can she succeed and also win the heart of gorgeous frat guy Tyler Prince? You'll love this hilarious and sweet age-old story with a charming modern-day twist!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
