Sydney White (2007)
6/10
Good retelling of Snow White with a a really good looking young lady in the lead
11 November 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Retelling of Snow White on a college campus as nerdy girl raised by construction workers goes to her dead mothers old college where she runs afoul of the sorority and is forced to take refuge with seven "dorks", uber geeks like herself. Cute family oriented movie isn't bad but is a bit too artificially constructed to be fully moving. Still I have to give any film that name checks Usagi Yojimbo as a badge of geekiness points. Wait for cable and watch it with rug rats (No pun intended).

I do have to speculate about the casting of Amanda Bynes (who did Rugrat voices) who is fine here, and wonder did she get the job because of her talent or because of her good looks. I know its a piggy thing to say but there was more than once I was wondering about how they had her look-which while not overly slutty did seem to scream SEX OBJECT. Granted it will keep the dads happy, but was it really necessary?
