'Snow White 2.0'

New tween comedy "Sydney White" tries to channel the spirit of "Snow White and the Seventh Dwarfs." Instead, it's more like "Revenge of the PG:13 Nerds." Check out my Washington Times review. An official "Nerds" remake was in the works, but Fox Atomic reportedly shut down the project last year, and trusty ol' imdb.com doesn't list any new "Nerds" coming out way.

A strong box office showing from "Sydney" may change that scenario. Besides, if they're remaking "Porky's," surely there's enough interest in a superior teen comedy like "Nerds." I know some '80s-minded folk have fond memories of the "Porky's" films, but if my memory serves they merely provided some fleeting nudity for the hormonally imprisoned teenagers.
