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
A lot of the acting is in the broad Disney Channel style.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 6, 2007
A perky and chaste Y.A. update on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
| Original Score: B- | Sep 26, 2007
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.

How hard could it be to make a clever parody of Snow White? Very hard, apparently.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 21, 2007
Snow White joins a sorority and gets some Revenge of the Nerds friends in Sydney White, a cute comedy for girls.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 21, 2007
On television, Amanda Bynes' tendency toward slapstick can come across as sitcom-cute. Blown up on the big screen, it's the equivalent of a hammer hitting you over the head. For 90 minutes. In surround sound.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 21, 2007
As Sydney White again demonstrates, [Amanda Bynes] just doesn't seem to have found a script that lives up to her comic potential.

Dorks deserve better than this. Amanda Bynes deserve better than this. Most importantly, audiences deserve better than this.
| Original Score: D+ | Sep 21, 2007
This is not your middle-schooler's Amanda Bynes. While her female fans will appreciate that 21-year-old Bynes is growing up with them, maybe her next movie will stretch beyond the fractured fairy tale.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 21, 2007
Sydney White, according to its producers, is a sequel to Hilary Duff's A Cinderella Story, and it shares with that 2004 film the vacuum-like ability to suck the fun out of a fairy tale.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 21, 2007
While the film's premise is shamelessly hokey and Joe Nussbaum's direction is at best pedestrian, props are due the young cast, especially Bynes, whose can-do optimism seems genuine if ultimately overdone.
| Sep 21, 2007
From the contrived romance to the hazy lavender eye make-up that Sydney sports in every scene, there's nothing real about this film.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Sep 21, 2007
A feeble college comedy aimed at middle schoolers.
