Amanda Bynes is charming, but Sydney White is a poorly adapted take on Snow White, relying on tired ethnic stereotypes laughs.

College freshman Sydney White (Bynes) has just arrived at Southern Atlantic University ready and eager to pledge her late mother's sorority. Once upon a time, this sorority was dignified and respected, but that pristine reputation has been tarnished now that blonde

A lot of the acting is in the broad Disney Channel style.
A perky and chaste Y.A. update on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
One of the dopiest, goofiest, and yes, I guess you can say, sneezy-ist and sleepy-ist, movies of the year.
...should satisfy Bynes fans looking for a pleasant, innocuous follow-up to her last vehicle.
Ms. Bynes, with her cherubic face, expressive eyes and comic timing, helps create a positive, pleasing diversion that caters to the geek in all of us.
Sydney White's message of embracing all kinds of people and not quaking in fear of the elite and popular is a sound one, but each twist and turn is so telegraphed and expected that the story feels wan and the comedy feeble.
...Sydney White's astounding lack of positive attributes cements its place as an utterly worthless endeavor.
Sydney helps a group of geeks with the most mundane tasks, such as tying shoes, and waking up and there isn't one ounce of believability in the journey.
This surprisingly clever coed reworking of Snow White does for dorks what Revenge of the Nerds did for, well, you know.
rather clever! Bynes is her usual bubbly, entertaining-self
Audiences will identify more with Sydney White's misfit cast than its bland leading lady.
Strictly for teenage girls, Sydney White is not totally without charms, but is too breathless, too cheesy and far too dorky to leave a favourable impact.
A Grimm prospect for fairytale traditionalists, but breezy enough to stop tweens feeling sleepy.
Younger teenage girls will probably love this but anyone older or younger than that demographic is going to be pretty bored.
A cross of Revenge of the Nerds and In & Out, both of which celebrated the ultimate triumph of underdogs, geeks in the former, gays in the latter.
A decent vehicle for Bynes.
Despite a predictable and formulaic storyline, there are enough genuine laugh-inducing moments... that Sydney White is rarely boring if not exactly fresh or original.
I look forward to when Bynes graduates to more mature and sophisticated comedy.
I loved this movie,and Amanda Bynes is such a great actress!!!!!!!!!!! The story itself is great & even my dad likes this movie lol :) :) :)
