Despite the slight material and micro-direction, Bynes manages to shine.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 24, 2020

Quickly descends into tedious schmaltz.

...Sydney White's astounding lack of positive attributes cements its place as an utterly worthless endeavor.

| Original Score: 0/4 | May 6, 2008

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.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Mar 3, 2008

This surprisingly clever coed reworking of Snow White does for dorks what Revenge of the Nerds did for, well, you know.

| Original Score: B | Feb 22, 2008

rather clever! Bynes is her usual bubbly, entertaining-self

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 11, 2008

Audiences will identify more with Sydney White's misfit cast than its bland leading lady.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 3, 2008

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.

| Jan 24, 2008

A Grimm prospect for fairytale traditionalists, but breezy enough to stop tweens feeling sleepy.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 24, 2008

A decent vehicle for Bynes.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 1, 2007

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.

| Original Score: B | Oct 22, 2007

I look forward to when Bynes graduates to more mature and sophisticated comedy.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 21, 2007

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 6, 2007

He [Joe Nussbaum] pretty much directs by the numbers.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 6, 2007

This is one of those "eh" flicks, entirely mediocre.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 6, 2007

A lot of the acting is in the broad Disney Channel style.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 6, 2007

...pretty standard mean-girls stuff, made enjoyable by the deft casting of Bynes...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 5, 2007
