3.5/5
"Perfect for the kids and inviting for adults, Sydney White is a surprisingly effective film that produces nothing but piles of smiles - and Amanda Bynes is the reason why."  Filmcritic.com  Bill Gibron

B
"Sydney features a rather jovial execution that not only helps the picture survive itself, but manages to produce a stunningly entertaining teen comedy."  eFilmCritic.com  Brian Orndorf

0/4
"...Sydney White's astounding lack of positive attributes cements its place as an utterly worthless endeavor."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

2.5/4
"Sydney White might not physically resemble Snow White, but the classic character's value system thankfully has not been lost in translation."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

C-
"I believe the working title was OMG! The Movie."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

F
"Sydney White has a concept and a title, but beyond that it draws a blank."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

C-
"While amiable, it doesn't manage to be inventive enough to escape the feeling that this is a fairy tale that hasn't been sufficiently fractured."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

5/10
"Bynes [is] appealing as usual, but not given much room in the script here to stretch her comedic chops."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Jeffrey Chen

1.5/4
"For all its attempts at modernizing the story, the movie is overly cluttered with formulaic plot complications that push even the boundaries of its source and a story that drags."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

2.5/4
"I look forward to when Bynes graduates to more mature and sophisticated comedy."  Mr. Brown's Movies  Michael Dequina

B-
"Bynes is captivating despite a role that does not give her much to do but display tomboyish good spirit behind some really unfortunate hair and make-up."  Chicago Sun-Times  Nell Minow

1.5/4
"Once upon a time, Amanda Bynes made a movie called Sydney White that so lazily transplanted Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to a college setting that it made one pine for a poison apple."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

4/5
"By most critical standards, this is a pretty dumb movie but thanks to Bynes' efforts, I was too busy being entertained to really mind that much."  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

B
"A feel-good-about-yourself film, it gives heart and hope to the geek in all of us."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford
