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 hos
The working title, "Sydney White and the Seven Dorks" should have stayed.
I recommend just making out through this one.
