Too many fans seem to be blown away

A Major Disappointment

Blistering performances.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

"Revenge of the Nerds" is a quintessential 80's movie. This film has it all partying, pranks and one more "p" not suitable for this review. Betty Childs (Julie Montgomery) will blow you away. She's a classic 80's blonde in the sorority (Pi)that fraternizes w/ the jocks' frat (Alpha Beta). Best friends from high school, Louis (Robert Carradine) and Gilbert (Anthony Edwards) go away to Adams College together. Upon arrival they and their nerd friends are picked on by the super-cool football playing Alpha Betas. Dirty, raunchy, and completely unsuitable for teenage viewing, this movie makes it fun to remember what it was like when comedies actually contained full frontal female nudity! The locker room speech by John Goodman is one of the funniest things I have ever heard.Some of the writing is really sloppy, and not in an appealing kind of way either. Much of the movie focuses on a gigantic party scene with lots of typical college humor which results in a lot of pointless nonsense filler. In my opinion, the story-line should focus more on the actual nerds getting picked on. By the way, it's amazing watching this back when the Talking Heads were popular and Michael Jackson's solo career was taking off. Ah, I remember those days. Music was so good back then. This is a movie that is not to be taken seriously and is recommended to older teenagers and adults who are teenagers at heart!Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

6.6 for this stinky pooh. There was nothing funny about it at all. This was boring and kind gross at times. Why do people like this movie. It not funny at all. Comedy is just to easy. The story line is awful and the humor is just stupid. Anybody make a classic comedy. This movie just a big pile of stinky pooh. Do not wast your money. Do not wast your time. Do not see this pooh pee of a movie. This is pooh pooh with pee pee on top. Pooh pooh. pooh pooh. pooh pooh. and lots of pee to. pooh. Stinky stinky pooh. Do not see it. It is just pooh. I do not see this movie. The people who think it is funny do not know a bad comedy when there see it. This is classic pieces of pooh.

I thought I'd enjoy seeing nerds get revenge on jocks, until it turned out that revenge included spying on naked women via hidden cameras, handing out a picture of a non-consenting naked woman, and then pretending to be someone else to have sex with that same women. Worst of all, the woman who was essentially raped then falls head over heels over her rapist, because the sex was so good. WHAT. By comparison, the pranks against the men are much more benign and don't seem to happen nearly as often (even though the conflicts primarily occur between the men, it's the women who seem to pay for it.) I get that times have changed, but no man or woman should be enjoying this movie in this decade. It's appalling.

In 1984's "Revenge of the Nerds" a group of social outcasts at Adams College are persecuted by fraternities of jocks and popular girls. To defend themselves they form their own fraternity and use their brains to outwit their enemies."Revenge" is over three decades old now and has formulated a decent reputation, as far as school/college comedies go. The film works because it's amusing enough and -- despite the youthful inanities and occasional raunch -- the viewer starts to care about the outcasts and their cause; we celebrate when they have a victory over the pompous crowd. There's some nudity so stay away if that turns you off.The film runs 90 minutes and was shot in Tucson, Arizona.GRADE: B
