Sydney White
Directed by Joe Nussbaum1h 48m2007
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.
Our read: Sydney White (2007) reads as a warm, kinetic, grounded comedy entry — gentle in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, tender in temperature, redemptive in outlook.
