[100 Things] My DVD Collection: What A Girl Wants & Sydney White

[ultra_fic]

 

Amanda Bynes is a great actress and I really don't think she's starred in a movie that I haven't liked. The first I saw her in was What A Girl Wants in which she discovers her long lost father is in fact the upper crust gent that is Colin Firth. Mayhem ensues when this downtown girl comes to join the ranks of the upper class British folks, and its just a good time, feel good movie.

In Sydney White, Amanda is the title character, a spin on Snow White who moves in with seven dorks on a college campus and tries to navigate the Greek world within. As with all good fairytale based stories, she gets her Prince in the end, but the journey to that point is both fun and dramatic in turn.

The supporting casts in both movies are wonderful - its lovely to have such great ensembles.

Amanda Bynes is kinda unappreciated. I've never see What a Girl Wants, but Sydney White was way better than it really ought to have been. That said, I still think her two best are She's the Man and Hairspray.

Yeah, She's The Man is very good too.

Yep, these are a couple I like as well. Love Amanda in "she's the man." I own both of these.
