Amazon.com: 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
Great message! I loved this movie! It sends a great message to young women about being yourself!
Not What I Expected I bought this movie because employees can buy our old rentals for less than $5. I wanted to see it and you can rent movies for more than that some places. I figured that it would suck. I figured it would be pathetic and I'd hate it. I mean, it has Amanda Byrnes in it. Had to be bad. I was pleasantly surprised. I liked this movie. Even though I expected the ending and even though it was a real chick flick (Chicks don't always care for chick flicks. Myself as example) I still liked this. My sister and I had a grand ole time figuring out which dork went with which dwarf. Some were easy. Some were more subtle. Better than it looks.
great movie This movie is sweet and charming, I think Amanda Bynes is on of the funniest kids that grew up in the Nickoloden era. She makes this movie great by saying that "it is ok to be a dork." She is always the underdog in her movies and she always raises above it. The movie is just a feel good movie.
Sydney White This is a great movie! A must see and a must have. I love how they put a modern day twist on such a great movie...... It's basically Snow White meeting 2007..... I love it!!
fun fun fun 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. A good hour and a half of good ol' fun.
