Movie Story


In a college comedy that puts a modern-day twist on an age-old story, Sydney White tells the tale of a tomboy freshman who ditches her conniving sorority sisters and finds a new home with a group of very dorky outcasts. Fed up with the way they've all been treated, she's off to war against the reigning campus royalty.

Gorgeous freshman Sydney White (Amanda Bynes) has come to Southern Atlantic University to pledge her late mom's once-dignified sorority. But while surviving the pledging process wrought by evil campus witch Rachel (Sara Paxton), Syd finds out this version of sisterhood isn't remotely what it's cracked up to be.

Banished to a condemned house on Greek Row, Syd finds her rightful place with a band of seven very socially challenged guys. With the help of one lovestruck frat boy named Tyler (Matt Long), she and the doofs campaign to take over student government. Fighting for the rights of misfits big and small, Syd organizes her gang to revolutionize the system, once and for all.

In a biting new comic film for the nerd in us all, Amanda Bynes brings her trademark style of comedy to the story of a plumber's daughter who builds an army of dorks done wrong: Sydney White.

If you missed Amanda in "She's the Man" - a modern adaptation of Shakespeare's 12th Night - this twisted and updated adaptation of the well known fairy tale of "Snow White" is gonna make you want to see it. The soundtrack is great too. It's a really well made and very entertaining movie.
