Critics Consensus

Amanda Bynes is charming, but Sydney White is a poorly adapted take on Snow White, relying on tired ethnic stereotypes laughs.

Aluna U Sep 30 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.
