Thanks for the memories!

One of my all time favorites.

A Masterpiece!

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The is an awful movie. The first one is not better. In fact it is worst . Do not see this movie. The story line is awful. It is not funny. Do not see it. It is terrible. It is very boring. Good actors wasted talent being in this awful movie. 4.9 is just overrating this awful movie. I do not no why it got a 4.9 it is just awful. I give it 4 out of 10. It is so awful. The first was not funny. And this is not funny. Do not wast your time. Do not wast your money. Do not see this movie. This is boring. Courtney Thorne Smith is a very pretty woman that is one thing I will say for. But that does not make up for how boring this movie is. I do not know why people think this is funny. It is not it is just boring.

If you didn't like the first one , you wont like this one too. If you liked the first , you should get a couple of laughs from this one too, but not too many. It obviously borrows some elements of the story from the original (love story , party , motivation speech) . It also doesn't have so much heart , because we've all seen this story before. Gone is also the satire of high school life.Not all characters are back for this sequel . Some nerds are missing . Anthony Edwards appears here only in few scenes . There is new villain , but I missed Ted McGinley. First movie had Queen song "We are the champions" . This one has two great songs – "Take me back to paradise " by 38 Special and "Funky town" by Pseudo Echo. There are also two new interesting characters – hotel owner and disgusting China man .It's not a quality movie , but certainly better than those made-for-TV crap sequels. Still , no reason to watch it. I give it 2/10.

Revenge of the Nerds II (1987) * 1/2 (out of 4) Poor sequel has the nerds heading to Florida for a fraternity convention but the place is full of jocks who don't want anything to do with the lovable losers. As in the first film, the nerds must try to figure out a way to make those pretty people understand them. Considering how much money the first film made I guess it's a little bit shocking that it took them three years to get a sequel made but after viewing this thing it's obvious they didn't take that much time trying to come up with a good screenplay. With very few exceptions sequels are just the first film slightly altered but what really sinks this one is that we get watered down, PG-13 rated jokes that are just poor copies of great jokes from the first film. I've never fully understood why studios think they need to water down jokes to try and bring in a larger audience. Going by the box office numbers it's clear the PG-13 rating wasn't what the film needed. What it did need was a better screenplay because what we get here is pretty lazy as the majority of the jokes fall flat on their face. The problem with many of them is that the characters here are so poorly written that most of the time we just see them acting over-the-top and this really goes against what their characters were in the first movie. The entire idea of them traveling to Florida for some conference is pretty weak story wise and one must wonder why something better wasn't thought of. Robert Carradine returns as Lewis and while the performance is fine you can't help but notice how hard he's having to work to try and make up for the screenplay. Curtis Armstrong is also back as are a few others from the first film but the screenplay does none of them any favors. Even worse is Donald Gibb who gets nothing to do except making dumb sounds as Orge.

I liked the first film, because I found it likable entertainment, but this is just crude, silly, and watered-down (PG-13? how typical) entertainment that involves the further embarrassment of the gang of nerds, led by Carradine, as they vacation on an island resort and become the butt end of a lot of practical jokes by some island studs who get all the women.There's a sequence where the nerds find themselves in front of an audience, standing around in underwear, that finally made me realize the comedy was going nowhere but downwards.It's very juvenile and relies entirely on poopy humor for laughs. One of the characters is a big rip-off of John Belushi from "Animal House," and he burps with his next-door neighbor on the island.I liked the original, and this film is adequate for a "lazy Sunday," but I don't recommend it as a rental. Don't pay to see it. Wait for it on TV--but only if you liked the original.And if you never saw the original, don't see this first. You may never want to watch the first one ever again.2/5 stars.P.S. I consider the IMDb rating of 3.9 stars a bit of a "bandwagon jump." A lot of people who voted probably didn't hate the movie enough to give it such a low rating. I'd probably rate it in the area of 4.6 - 4.9, because it's not completely terrible.John Ulmer
