Best movie ever!
Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
Blistering performances.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
She's The Man's Amanda Bynes and Aquamarine's Sara Paxton star in this High School version of Snow White only this time it involves the charcthers persona's. Bynes play the title character who goes to some posh school where she meets up with a bunch of guys who all share the same persona's as the dwarfs in Snow White and makes herself an arch nemesis called Rachel Witchburn(seriously that is her surname)who wants all in her power to become the next school president and doesn't want Sydney White to win so she does all in her power to manipulate her. Problems arise however when Sydney falls for Rachel's ex boyfriend who likes Sydney but Rachel doesn't want him to be with Sydney so like in all high school movies you get the jest.So what did I think of it well I honestly thought it wasn't bad,copies are very hard to find this movie so I was lucky I got it for a bargain yesterday with Wild Child and The House Bunny with it as it came in a pack so yeah it was a good average movie.If you are a fan of Amanda Bynes than check it out.
Amanda Bynes and John Schneider (her Dad) try really hard to make their characters believable and understandable. Nearly everyone else, and most especially Sara Paxton as Rachel, is a one-dimensional cliché. The Magic Mirror (antecedent to Facebook) was a wonderful touch. But it always involved Rachel - and she was always so relentlessly over-the-top, only a nine year-old could enjoy the mannerisms and "subtleties" of her performance. The entire college set-up and production values looked like it was done on a sound stage. As for the nerds/dorks/outcasts, the dwarfs (the original one-adjective characters) had more dimensionality. There are a few cute lines and cute scenes, but it is just way too over-the-top. I'd be embarrassed to show it to my 12-year old grandson.
This one's the nail in the glass coffin for my Snow White series; and like college, it seems so much better when it's over.One thing I've learned in this short series is that the villain is so often more interesting than the hero. The hero's good motivations are assumed, but the villains must be intriguing and explored. That's why we loved Heath Ledger's Joker.In "Sydney White", neither the hero, Amanda Bynes, nor the villain, Sara Paxton are interesting at all. Paxton fulfills (quite perfectly, actually) every high school/college bitch stereotype. Bynes bounces about like a Pollyanna chipmunk with more fake-tan than "Jersey Shore". She was much better as Cindy Lou Who in "Hairspray".This movie has a strange comedy pace. Over-all its a regurgitated college story, but then like every 5 min there'll be something adorably goofy that makes you keep watching.Look out for: a super shitty soundtrack poisoned apple computer lame first kiss two well placed hi hosThe working title, "Sydney White and the Seven Dorks" should have stayed.I recommend just making out through this one.
I really liked this movie and it was really funny. but i started freaking out, the guy who is Tyler, i was like OK? were have i seen him before? i was like i know I've seen him somewhere but were?? when i finally searched the internet him i found out he was in ghost rider and i felt totally relived. but the movie was really good i thought it was funny and i liked George =] and i like Amanda Bynes i wish they never stopped airing the Amanda show. i like when George is clapping in the gym because of the commercial of Rachel running for class president and Amanda (Sydney) was like George, No. and he stopped clapping like n-no shaking his head that was cute and funny. hehe
