Little Sister is a 1992 American comedy film written and directed by Jimmy Zeilinger. Starring Jonathan Silverman and Alyssa Milano, the film was released in the UK under the title Mister Sister.
Bobby graduates high school with his friend Mike. His father encourages him to forge his own identity and gives him a book of romantic poems. At college, Bobby and Mike join a fraternity where Bobby can be himself and not follow in his dad's footsteps. The fraternity leader tells Bobby to instruct his fellow pledges to be more like his father.
At a party, Bobby meets Sybil and fails to impress her with the poems. Bobby encourages Mike to stop taking his dad's advice and find a girlfriend. Bobby and Mike witness an argument between Diana and her boyfriend Derry because he does not care what she thinks. When she breaks up with Derry, Bobby asks her out, but she tells him off. Derry apologies to Diana, and they get back together.
Bobby tries to woo Sybil again while trying to find a course to study. He ends up in an all-female classroom studying the sociology of women in history. He and Mike find out that they are enrolled in taxidermy class. Bobby, Mike, and their pledge brothers reminisce about The Brady Bunch for the fraternity leader. The leader wants them to steal a painting from the Zeta Alpha Zeta sorority house. After four failed attempts, Bobby pretends to be "Roberta" and fools the sorority sisters, though he is unable to get the painting. Bobby has difficulty maintaining both identities; he misses out on fraternity activities as himself but wants to keep the Roberta identity to be close to Diana.
Bobby asks Diana for help studying, but she believes he is asking her on a date. While study during a thunderstorm, Bobby fails to seduce her, and she discovers his sorority scheme in a pledge book. When Roberta is elected president of the pledge class, the sorority sisters take Roberta for drinks. The girls tell Roberta they look up to her. When Derry sees Roberta, he flirts with her, and Bobby is intentionally disgusting. Bobby tells Mike that Derry is flirting with him, and they devise a plan to have Diana catch Derry in a compromising position.
The next day, Derry walks into the library and reads notes suggesting he take his clothes off. When Diana sees this, she breaks off their relationship. After a while, Bobby learns more about girls. As Roberta again, he tries to convince Diana to love Bobby. He changes into his normal clothes, but when he kisses her, he gets slapped. He ends Roberta and steals the painting. When the painting is discovered missing, one of the sorority sisters suspects Roberta. After that, Mike sets up Roberta on a date with Wally who is one of the pledge brothers.
