College freshman Sydney White arrives at Southern Atlantic University, determined to pledge her late mother's sorority. Unfortunately, she finds that the sisterhood has changed since her parent's day. Banished to a condemned house, Sydney joins forces with seven outcasts to take over the student government and win equal rights for nerd and noted alike.
Really good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.
A modern day re-telling of Snow White. Not an easy task to get a modern ensemble cast to be significant, but they do a good job for the characters being mostly socially awkward societal rejects.
Amanda Bynes pretty much carries the movie, but that's to be expected from a Snow White.
The fun twist is they went with a "vs the rich" trope against greek row instead of her being princess-like.
The movie is a lot of fun, and Amanda Bynes does a great job of competitive girl on the social battlefield as does Sarah Paxton.
Sydney White reimagines the Snow White tale in a fun, college setting with modern twists, relatable characters, and a light, feel-good storyline. Though some plot points lack logic and depth, strong performances and a charming narrative make it an enjoyable rom-com, especially for fans of fairytale-inspired teen films.
