Sydney White (2007)

Director: Joe Nussbaum

Synopsis

It’s the tale of Snow White transposed to the modern day as humble sorority sister Sydney, fleeing the ‘Wicked Queen’ house President, takes refuge with a gang of seven nerds who live just down the street. Tipping a knowing wink to the conventions of American frat comedy but giving it a feminine twist, this modern fairy tale for all the family should appeal to everyone from fans of ‘Old School’ to the pre-teens who lapped up ‘Enchanted’.

Movie review

From Time Out New York

Snow White meets Revenge of the Nerds” must have been the pitch for this good-natured trifle, a forgettable and erratically charming update of the Grimm fairy tale transposed to college. Amanda Bynes plays a frosh who gets dissed by a sorority and rallies seven dorks to help her fight off the wicked queen of the Greek system. Older audience members might not want to bite this poisoned apple, but the DVD release will be slumber-party catnip for tweeners
