Sydney White (2007)

Sydney White and the Seven Dorks
Sydney White (Bynes) didn't grow up like your typical girl. After her Mom died, her plumber father raised her. She's a strong, tough girl and she needs all of that to survive SAU. When she arrives at college on a scholarship, she pledges as a legacy to her Mom's sorority, Kappa Phi Nu. Unfortunately, the President hates her on sight for taking her ex-boyfriend and the war is on.

The story's predictable and we have a very commercial spin on the 'poisoned Apple' but it's an amusing way to spend an hour and a half. And the dork in me definitely cheered her on.

Loved It!!
So, this isn't the movie that will change the world, but I rank it with Ever After as a fun fairy tale. Amanda Bynes is great, but for us Buffy fans it is Danny Strong who steals the show as "Grumpy" Gurkin. He had the best lines, and I just love him.

My suggestion...watch this movie for what it is, a fun fairy tale. expect nothing more :-)

A warm fuzzy
I am 60 years old and I must admit that I have at times very bad taste in movies. I saw the trailer for this movie and thought it would be very stupid and kidish. Boy I was wrong. I rented this because it was a snowy day and I wanted to kill a few hours. I put it in as I was watching it, my wife walked in and watch it, then my twin 18 year old sons wandered in and.. well we all watched it and laugh. I know that this isn't master piece and I wouldn't tell you it was, but it is sweet family movie that has laughs and a moral or two to teach. We had fun trying to name the dorks and remembering the references to REVENGE OF THE NERDS. But any movie that can get my family to sit down to and to watch together is very special indeed. Call it chick flick, family comedy, kid movie,or whatever label you want, but gilve it chance, you won't be disappointed.
