It's surprizing
Added 3/5/2010
A friend of mine recommend this movie and I was semi skeptical, but I was surprized at how good it really is. I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot. It's kind of a modern take on the Snow White story.

This was an interesting take on Snow White and the 7 Dwarves. It was a lot of fun to watch. Our kids really enjoy it.

Amanda Bynes and the Seven Dorks...
Added 10/19/2009
I have this huge crush on Amanda Bynes. I don't know what it is, but she just really, really sits right with me. She is so the girl I would want to date if I were in college. She's funny, charming, socially retarded but in a way that makes her endearing and lovable; and she is really, really attractive. Even though her movies are pure camp delightfulness wrapped up in cliché ridden bows, I devour all of them and would watch any of them any amount of times (I've seen `What a Girl Wants' like ten times thanks to cable television).
I just love her and her cheesy teen movie gloriousness.
`Sydney White' is one of her latest, a modern retelling of `Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'. Sydney White is going to college, where she doesn't quite fit in but where she is instantly liked; by MOST. Rachel, student council president and resident `it' girl, loathes Sydney (jealous). She attempts to destroy her socially and forces her into the arms (or house) or seven dorks. When she realizes that their home is being condemned in order to provide space for one of Queen Rachel's projects, Sydney decides to fight her for Student Council Presidency, taking a stand for all the ignored souls on campus.
With numerous references to the cartoon, `Sydney White' has a fun and fresh style about it that is comfortable in its familiarity.
The acting is just what you might expect from this type of film. Bynes is her spunky adorable self. Sara Paxton is believable as the snotty rich girl, although her `fairness' is debatable (NOT attractive as far as I'm concerned). Matt Long is your token heartthrob, and he works, but he's nothing extraordinary. Crystal Hunt is hilarious as Dinky, and the seven dorks are all effective, especially Jack Carpenter, who adds a layer of warmth to Lenny.
It is generic, yes, and totally predictable (aren't ALL of these movies), but it's fun and charming and entertaining and totally watchable. If you are a fan of brainless teen flicks then check this one out.

Cute average chick flick
Added 9/13/2009
I would give this film 3 1/2 stars if I could because it was cute, funny and worth a watch. I watched this with about 9 other girls who were all in their 20's and we all enjoyed it, and enjoyed making fun of it as well. It is def a cliche chick flick, but most of them are I suppose.
Amanda Bynes is always fun in these sorts of films and this modern remake of Snow White is quite cute.

Cute movie!
Added 7/21/2009
This movie is so cute! It's definitely not a huge blockbuster romance like "The Notebook" but it's a cute story and I love Amanda Bynes!
