Good concept, poorly executed.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

(oh Lord, take me back to college, right now, oh please God, make me 20 again, I beg you, do it, I'll just close my eyes, and when I open them, right now, I'll be there, ty, I owe you one)I love Revenge of the Nerds!! I'm a super nerd! I'm a bit of a jock, well, not really a jock just a real, real, incredibly really good athlete, ok, a jock, but, being a nerd, is 700 BILLION times better than being a jock, trust me, aside from the whole 'getting laid' aspects of jocking vs. the whole 'not getting laid' qualifications of nerding. Lol!!!Revenge of the Nerds starts off slow, but once the Nerds move into their Tri-Lamb Frat house it is nonstop uncontrollable hilariousness...'til the end! A great group of misfits makes up the Nerds with a terrifically well cast cast.Revenge of the Nerds is a Beautiful!, inspirational and HILARIOUS comedy that's a really good movie too! It's all about sex!!!....and college life and love.The Nerds' big party with all the sweet nerdy girls and the Lambdas is by far the best part of RotN. Lol!!....those party scenes are so funny omg hahahaha especially when Thriller kicks in!!! lol! The robot is classic!! The Nerds are great. I love what's her face from Valley Girl, Michelle Meyrink! I knew that, see, I told you I was. I really love how the nerds all get laid at the party. I really do.The Nerds infiltrating the popular girls Sorority house is funny, but way more so, it really makes me super horny thanks to what's her face, Julia Montgomery. I didn't know her name, I do now. Julia is so epically gorgeous in this, and so super hot! (Uhh wow awesome) Private School, this, & Animal house = Sorority girl house heaven/I love how the Nerds stay up and watch their surveillance video of the Pies all night long! Lol!This is one of my favorite comedies, easily. It is not sub-par material. The end's good & the characters are great! (esp. Booger and Ogre!!!!)"It's close to miiidnight...."

Robert Carradine, Anthony Edwards, Curtis Armstrong, Timothy Busfield, Ted McGinley, Donald Gibb, Julia Montgomery and John Goodman star in this 1984 comedy. Lewis (Carradine) and his best friend, Gilbert (Edwards) are 2 nerds starting their first year at Adams College where they're humiliated and get into mischief. Soon, they're kicked out of their dorm along with other nerds by jocks from the Alpha Beta fraternity. When the Alpha Betas continue to make fun and humiliate the nerds, Lewis and his friends decide to join fraternity, Lambda Lambda Lambda to get back at them. Armstrong (Risky Business) plays Lewis and Gilbert's new friend, Booger, Busfield (Field of Dreams) plays Poindexter, their other new friend, McGinley (Married with Children) plays Stan, leader of the Alpha Betas, Gibb (Bloodsport) plays Ogre, Stan's teammate, Montgomery plays Betty, Stan's girlfriend who eventually likes Lewis and Goodman (Roseanne) plays Coach Harris. This is a good 80's comedy with a good cast I recommend.

It has been 30 years ,since the movie has released and it shows. This movie feels like a 1980s movie in each and every way.And the fact that since that since the emergence of The Big Bang Theory and Joss Whedon, nerds have become a part of mainstream. Thus, the movie shows how much time has changed. Despite these facts, the movie has aged very well.For a guy who was not present in 1980s and watched for the first time in 2014, I must say that movie has aged pretty well.After "Animal House" became a hit in 1978, many R-rated sex comedy came in 1980s like Porky, Risky Business and Fast Times At Ridgemont High. They were quite funny, but sometimes they took themselves seriously at a time. Seriousness worked flawlessly in Risky Business, but it felt mismatched in Porky and Fast Times at Ridgemont High. This is not the case here. Sure it has all the typical T&A Teen Sex Gross-out ingredient like sex jokes, men peeking at naked girls, drugs, booze, partying, F- word, toilet humor and of course gratuitous frontal nudity,but the fact that movie never takes itself seriously sets it apart. The director of movie knew he was not making another "The Graduate", but a very stupid comedy and he did not hide this fact with serious topics like racism(Porky) or abortion(Fast Times).The plot is very simple and you can guess from it's title. The title clearly specifies that nerds take revenge from jocks. Nerd represent nerd and jocks represent jocks. Nothing symbolic here. One of the best thing about movie is it 's character. Just like the film itself characters are slapstick and cartoonish. For e.g.; there is a character named Ogre, who behaves like Marvel superhero Hulk. Only difference is that Hulk is green skinned and has more hair. But the character that steals the show here is Booger. His role here is to be disgusting. Be it burping,eating dirty things or as you can guess from his name taking out his booger ! Booger is played by same guy who played Tom Cruise 's best friend in Risky Business and gave what the f--- speech.The movie is often accused of it's misogyny, but I am at movie 's defense here since a) movie is equal offender. It offends every one . Be it male or female,nerds or jocks, gays or rebels. b)girls were also nasty towards "nerds" and thus nerds had lame excuse to take revenge and c) it was 1980s. It was in trend for movie of similar genre to be sexist. At least it is not MASH.

Plot-- Tired of getting shoved around by campus elites, college nerds use their smarts to strike back. It all goes down in pretty raunchy fashion.Okay, much of the 90-minutes is silly amusing-- Lewis's honking laugh, the commando raid on the Pi house, Ogre's Neanderthal antics, etc. But the screenplay's really well written. More importantly, the story also has a serious subtext wrapped in occasionally hilarious social satire. Some such occurs in the climax when the carnival crowd rallies around the nerds. That's because the everyday folks have also experienced personal put-downs from our jocks and beauty driven culture. The nerds may have used their brains to outwit the dominant Alpha Beta's and Pi's. But the appeal of their grievance spreads to the carnival crowd who rally around them. Likely, the movie's real object is to affirm the worth of the non-beautiful non-athletic ordinary person. In short, those of us everyday types who don't appear on magazine covers or ESPN. Good!The fact that the moral is wrapped in an entertaining screenplay makes it all the more effective. Note how the spectrum of outcasts pretty much runs the traditional gamut from gays to racial minorities to social misfits. I guess my only complaint is making the nerdy Lewis more sexually compelling to sorority girl Betty than the blonde Adonis. The point is a good one— namely, that looks need have nothing to do with sexual performance. But, does the script have to cover every base and spread it on so thick. Anyway, the movie's a little gem and can stand on its own with other raunchy comedies of the period. More importantly, it has a good point to make, as well.
