Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review 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, iSydney White/i is hysterically funny and surprisingly appealing to audiences of both genders and a wide age range. --iTami Horiuchi/i

I absolutely love this film, great choice of cast especially Amanda Bynes as the lead (Sydney White). It is a funny and touching story, and a great modern update of the classic snow white. br /Ordered it from amazon, because I always have great service; the DVD arrived in perfect condition, just 2 days after ordering it. Great feel good movie!! May 1, 2009 Caz Mac (Kilkenny, Ireland) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This was an enjoyable film, a nice modern version of Snow White. I love Amanda Bynes in all her films, she has a quirkiness that adds to the film! Would have preferred a better ending though!! Hilarious! May 7, 2009 Hungry Jenny (UK) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I just bought this for a friend who is a big fan of Amanda Byrnes who is fantastic in this film. All of the 'dorks' portray their respectful 'dwalf' selves really well too. The play on the Snow White story is a nice touch. Had me laughing throughout as it's got some great lines and lots of funny moments! Better than what a girl wants November 20, 2009 Jillian Johnson (Cape Breton Canada) br / br /I really love this movie. I own it, and it's just the best movie. br / br /You could really understand Amanda's character on how she tries to fit in, br /and how she realizes the importance of standing up for what you believe in.
