Spring Break
'White' A Modern Take On A Classic Tale
Anna Blaise
Issue date: 9/25/07 Section: Focus
Some parts of the movie were indeed hysterical. One precious moment was when White first came into the house and left her sports bra out to dry. All seven guys circled around it, looking amazed with it since they had never seen one before. Another comical moment was when White was in the bathroom shaving her legs and one of the guys walked in on her. He was so shocked that he covered his eyes and kept hitting himself on the bathroom door.
As for the romantic life of White, Prince charms her with his good looks, an amazing first date where the two watch the sunset on top of a building and a romantic song where Prince got Beta's pledges to sing to her while she was studying.
But just when White thinks everything will go her way and she will live happily ever after, the evil Witchburn turns around and tries to sabotage her. First, she traps the "dwarfs" into going of a party naked for everyone to see. Then, she hacks into White's computer, deleting her presidential campaign and her paper that was due the next day. That incident forces White to stay up all night and do everything over. And, to top it all, White falls asleep during the presidential debate, but Prince goes and saves the day by finding White and waking her up from "her deep sleep," with a kiss. Ultimately, White uses her new slogan "I'm a dork," against Witchburn in the election. In a heartwarming moment, White has everyone in the audience state who they are and the reason they, too, are dorks. A bit unrealistic, but cute.
This movie is a typical fairy tale movie, with plots that never happen in real life. However, to escape reality, watch Sydney White, get some good laughs, bring a friend and lose yourself in the moment.
