Hi, I'm zoerobe, and when I was in high school I was in the band. Also I've played Dungeons and Dragons as a kid. So I guess I'm a dork!
Sorry, I just got a little carried away. This is a cute but totally, like, unoriginal movie - "Revenge of the Nerds," meets "Legally Blonde," meets "She's All That," for starters. But it's totally indebted to "Revenge of the Nerds," this way ancient movie that came out, like, over a decade ago. Let's compare the two plots.
Revenge of the Nerds: Two young freshman with limited dating experience and social skills go off to college, where they are made to sleep in the gym because the Big Greeks on Campus have burned down their own house and need a place to stay. The nerds get fed up and form their own frat (Lambda, Lambda, Lambda) and compete in the fraternity/sorority challenge because the winner gets to control all the Greek activities/funds.
Revenge of the Dorks, oops I mean Sydney White: Amanda Byrnes plays a young wholesome tomboy with limited social skills who goes off to college to pledge the same sorority as her dead mom. She is eventually cast out and forced to take refuge in the Vortex, a house for seven guys who are dorks. The dorks get fed up and decide to take control of the Student Council so the funds will be more evenly distributed.
Dissing Amanda Byrnes'acting is like kicking a puppy. She's so cute that she even made "She's the Man" halfway bearable. All the actors do a decent job, although they aren't helped by a predictable script and mostly lame dialog. But well, Amanda is cute enough to help the movie rise above these flaws. She's totally, like, adorkable!
