Quirky, cute, and stereotypically inspirational

I was captivated by this little charmer this first time I saw it in theaters. The premise is a modern-day Snow White on a college campus. A little contrived, but hey, it apparently worked. Sydney is your average tomboy who is under all sorts of pressure to pledge herself to her dead mother's old sorority. Well, the sorority girls are no longer what they used to be, and the pampered princesses throw Sydney out into the rain. She winds up taking refuge at the Vortex, a student housing building where lives the guy she dumped for a sorority mission and his six bizarre roommates.

Honestly, I didn't think it would work. But it did, and besides the cuteness there is a little more moral meat as Sydney and her new friends lead a student body revolution. Yeah, it's cheesy and we've seen the revenge-of-the-nerds theme many a time before, but it's so goodhearted and fun that I couldn't help but love it, stereotypes, predictability, and all.

All the characters seemed very much into their roles. I wouldn't say I'm an Amanda Bynes fan, but she failed to annoy me this time around! It was a great blend of an old story with modern college life with clever, roll-your-eyes references to the original Disney animated film. It might bother some people, but as a Snow White fan I thought they were cute.

It's definitely a girl movie, I'll give you that, so if you can't put up with the silliness and the cheesiness, you will not enjoy it. But if you're a girl looking for a cute movie with a lot of harmless fun, this will hit the spot.

Not the most artistic of film making and not a whole lot of focus on in-depth characters and originality, but as a former teenage girl,I loved it for sheer sweetness, a good heart, and a passion for doing the right thing. Sometimes we just need that girly spunk.

Sydney White (Bynes) is not just a typical college freshman, she's also a Kappa Phi Nu sister who, with the death of her mother, was raised by her father (Schneider), a plumber. As it soon becomes evident that she isn't KPN material, she finds a home in the Vortex, with 7 guys. With them, she will fight for what they believe in.

I can't think of any word that describes this film, other than "fun". Because that's what it is. It's not great, it's not smart or witty, it's funny but not that much, it's just plain fun.
No extraordinary acting, nothing of great significance.
A good hour and a half of good ol' fun.

Gotta love her!

Amanda Bines is as cute as a button -- and she's got the comedy timing of a budding superstar! Her stage presence just brings a smile to your face, and parents have no problem letting kids see her films.

Sydney White is far from the best she's ever done, but it's got that special something that prompted me to buy the video, and I suppose that's what counts. Her talent sells movies!

This twist on the Snow White tale is a winner -- with a Revenge of the Nerds theme thrown in for some great laughs.

Recommended!
