Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Greeks and Geeks Comment: This light-hearted teen film puts yet another twist in the Snow White fairy tale, with the cherubic teen queen of comedy (Amanda Bynes) in the lead role. Well versed in the role of the underdog rising to a challenge, Bynes' character sets off to college to follow in her mother's footsteps, but finds the going rather Grimm. The witch in this version is spelled with a "b", not necessarily for "blonde", and Rachel Witchburn (Sara Paxton of Aquamarine) is set on making Sydney's life a living hell. Jealous that Sydney has become the apple of the eye of her ex-boyfriend Tyler Prince (Prince - get it?), Rachel engineers a scheme to publicly humiliate our heroine, which sends her deep into the black hole of the Vortex (a dilapidated campus building), where she meets seven antisocial dorks (!) whose habits match up to the seven little guys in the original tale. Never one to let a witch have her day, Sydney gives Rachel a dose of her own medicine, and the result is a teen comedy that's funny in places, but overdone in others. It's okay, but no classic, and not one you'll want to ride off with into the sunset for your happily ever afters. Short Attention Span Summary (SASS) 1. Bynes shines, supporting cast not so much 2. Geeks take on Greeks 3. Brothers Grimm think: "Hey! They turned our witch into a blonde!" 4. Gentlemen don't always prefer blondes 5. Good guys live geekily ever after Conclusion Wait for it on cable, but don't expect too much Rated: 3.5 stars Amanda Richards More Reviews
