ltlacey Review of Sydney White

Sydney White (2007)

A somewhat re-telling of the fairytale, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

[7/10 · 9 July 2009]

What happens when you take a few elements from Animal House (which worked somehow), Revenge of the Nerds, Mean Girls (which also worked somehow), and a classic fairy tale? You get Sydney White. I do not usually go for movies like this, what with being a middle-aged cantankerous old broad, but this movie sounded somewhat interesting, and I figured it was going to be okay, and thus a way to blow off almost 2 hours of a boring day, or was going to really be bad, and I'd just doze through it. And it was okay, until the very end when it turned into Revenge of the Nerds. Why "they" decided to steal that infamous scene, replacing I Am A Nerd, or I Am In Love with A Nerd, with, I Am A Dork, is beyond me. Up until then this movie was cute and entertaining and moved along nicely. This movie also has some very funny lines and scenes. And I really liked how they incorporated the classic fairy tale into the movie and made it work. And yea, there were some problems with the movie (is college life really like this? No), those are easily over looked (like the deal with who was or was not wearing a wig, which was more than 1 young lady). So check it out.
