Sydney White (Amanda Bynes) is a modern day adaptation of the timeless fairytale Snow White. In this instance, our heroine is a college student away from home for the 1st time. She is rejected by the sorority that was her deceased mother's alma mater and finds herself instantly homeless and a social outcast. With nowhere else to go, she ends up at "The Vortex" (the campus house that is infamous for sucking up all the losers). She is taken in by the seven dorks that live there and the laughs begin in earnest. In many ways it's like Snow White meets Revenge of the Nerds. The other cast members include John Schneider (Sydney's father), Matt Long (Tyler Prince- Sydney's love interest), Sara Paxton (Sorority Leader & student council president- Rachel Witchburn), Jack Carpenter (Lenny- the head "dork"), Jeremy Howard (Terrence Lubinecki- the dork that dares to run for student council president against Rachel). While it is totally predictable, it is still worth watching if you are in the mood for something light and frivolous. Amanda Bynes once again shows her talent at comedic timing and proves that she really is a decent actress. It is rated PG-13 for some language, sexual humor and college partying. I wouldn't recommend it for younger viewers but think the preteen to younger teens will find it utterly delightful.Read full review
This was a great movie. It is a little choppy on one part of the disk. The cool rose singing part. But a great feel good movie. Amanda Bines is always a great choice movie!

It's a twist on the story of Snow White, only with dorks not dwarfs. Nice girl goes to college to be thrown into the catish world of soroities, yet niceness shines through. Sweet story where girl gets her "prince". I thought the jealousy of the evil queen was retold as the president of the soroity. Although the dorks are little over the top, but in the fairytale setting over the top charcters are quite usual. And of course the end is summed up perfectly, in tru fairytale style. I have enjoyed this movie for it's light comedy and good feelings!
I bought this dvd for my teenage daughter but I have watched a few times as well. Amanda Bynes is a great actress and such a good role model for her young fans. I bought this dvd from this particular buyer because he was selling the "real deal". I have bought dvd's off of Ebay in the past that have been bootlegged copies and did not work and I lost quite a bit of money.
