Awesome, he recommends it even though he sees problems with it. Hopefully it's another hit for Amanda.

Omg, I just realized something. Earlier I said this could be a hit because A Cinderella Story worked for Hilary Duff. It was produced by Clifford Werber and so was this. Sweet.

**pranksalot** · 09-03-2007, 10:38 PM

Cinderella Story was mostly trashed by critics and Hilary Duff was terrible in it. But Sydney White was so good. So Chad got a hit (Sydney White) and one miss.

As we all said before, Amanda have never yet disappoint us. Thanks for the review. I'm going to post all the positive things of Amanda here.

"a completely pleasant surprise: a zany, inventive, and funny vehicle by which Amanda Bynes was able to engage her likable talents... Sydney is a likable, amiable, everyday girl (both conveniently and ironically portrayed by an actress as attractive as Bynes)...The most enjoyable moments of the film are those that allow Bynes free-range over loosely-defined material. The actress is effortlessly charming here and brings a much needed energy to the lead role, perfectly balancing the zany spunk of her character with a generally attractive and appealing quality that gains the sympathies of the audience. Bynes also has terrific chemistry with the cast of the seven dorks in the film; they share several scenes that had even me, the epitome of a cinematic cynic, laughing out loud. Not to mention, Bynes perfectly complements the evil of Paxton’s wickedly (and brilliantly) played Rachel."
That's a whole lot of praising for Amanda!

I actually liked A Cinderella Story and I liked Hilary in it. It was successful at the box office too.

I'm glad to hear that Sara did a good job in the film too and I hope it's another hit for Amanda.

**pranksalot** · 09-04-2007, 01:29 AM

Even though I didn't really like Cinderella Story. It was Hilary's best film to me. Cinderella Story was Hilary most successful film, but it was panned terribly by many critics. It got only 10% with only 96 people reviewing it.

It would be nice if this movie was a hit too. 2007 is a crazy wonderful year for Amanda. A successful movie premiere in ABC, a hit blockbuster movie(Hairspray), a hit clothesline, and hopefully another hit movie for Amanda. Sydney White has tough competition. So I will hope for the best.

Yeah I know there are like 5 or 6 movies coming out that day. But I think SW will appeal to families. Did Amanda's clothesline do well. I know it was well reviewed. I think SW will appeal to people because Amanda is really only seen when she's out promoting things, meaning she's not always in tabloids or on those news shows. I think it keeps people interested in her and is why she hasn't had an unsuccessful movie yet. Plus she seems greatful for her opportunities.

**open32** · 09-04-2007, 03:07 PM

Thanks for the reviews.

Cinderella Story was an alright movie, I like Amanda's much better.

After Hairspray doing so good im hoping Sydney White will do better they her other staring roles, since she is becoming a bigger star that the critics all of the sudden like.

I hope so, to bad thats not like movies where we can see box office numbers. Steve and Barry's isnt public so we probably wont find out much. Im sure its doing good. She said she was already designing a Spring line.

**pranksalot** · 09-04-2007, 04:02 PM

She is also designing a winter line. I believe. Sydney White can be the movie which will launch Amanda to have a career like Reese Witherspoon.

That's all great reviews.
I hope it does good

wonderboy · 09-04-2007, 07:55 PM

Oh yeah if she's doing another line then it must be doing well. They wouldn't commission another one if it's not.

I hope this will do better than her other starring roles too. Her biggest one was Big Fat Liar with I think about $48 million.

They probably have a contract for a long while, say a few years, being that a lot of money and stuff gets spent on marketing and promotion.

Im sure its doing good which the line outside those autograph signings.

On her website they added new stuff that wasnt there before, like jewery and underwear. The line has so many items.

**pranksalot** · 09-13-2007, 10:35 AM

Here's another review

http://media.www.dukechronicle.com/m...-2966922.shtml

"If cinema were a banquet spread of foreign, obscure and expensive concoctions for the refined palette, Sydney White would be the double cheeseburger and chocolate milk shake drive-through run on the way home.

It's easy, it's predictable, it's probably not that good for you, but oh boy, is it satisfying...
Formulaic, yes, but what's great about Sydney White is that the clumsy cutie doesn't execute her social coup d'etat by ditching the glasses and adding some mascara. Nope, Sydney White is one of those exquisite rarities: a dork in a pretty girl's body, and there she stays from once upon a time to happily ever after.

The seven dorks take the center stage in all their role-playing, Boba Fett-worshiping glory. From mega-allergetic Lenny to angsty blogger Gurkin, the seven members of outcast-living hovel, the Vortex, are endearing in their cult passions and comical in their gawky statures. And though Sydney's prepubescent boy hobbies add to the mix of geek tribute, it's this troop of bungling brains that make the film worth its five hundred calories of feel-good fluff."

wonderboy · 09-13-2007, 10:54 AM

Cool, sounds good. But I disagree with the reviewer when he says "probably not that good for you"...all Amanda movies are good for you.

**open32** · 09-13-2007, 01:27 PM

LOL, that whole first statment doesnt make sence. At least he liked the movie.

Im hearing constant radio ads for the movie, a few different ones. Looks like they chose radio and the internet rather then TV. On TV all I have seen is the ads on ABCFamily. Not a bad idea since it has so much to go up against opening weekend.
