Sydney White

Freshman year is no fairytale.


Sydney White
A pretty young woman heads off to college, the same one her mother went to. She tries to join the same sorority as her mom, but after being accepted, realises that she doesn't belong. Instead she shacks up with seven dorky guys, and they set about changing the social structures on campus to be more egalitarian. Along the way she also meets and falls for Prince. In case you missed it, this is Hollywood's latest update to the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs story.

quote iconNot quite bad or grating enough to warrant a bite into any readily accessible poisoned apple, but clearly nowhere as smart, funny or entertaining enough to warrant its existence, let's hope Sydney is left under glass in a perpetual slumber where sequels are never possible, no matter the kiss of some studio green light.
