Plot: Revenge of the Nerds is the juvenile sex comedy perhaps most synonymous with the 1980s, alternating gags and scantily clad women with a power to the underdogs mentality that prompted three sequels. The handsome jocks of Alpha Beta, led by Stan (Ted McGinley), run Adams College, which means that when they burn down their house after a stunt involving grain alcohol and an open flame, they kick a bunch of socially inept freshman out of their dorm and into the gymnasium. But sleeping on cots is only the beginning of their worries, as the so-called nerds soon become the target of pranks by Alpha Beta, assisted by Betty (Julie Montgomery) and the gorgeous gals of Pi Delta Pi. Instead of taking the abuse sitting down, the displaced freshman, led by Gilbert (Anthony Edwards) and Lewis (Robert Carradine), buy a ramshackle house, affiliate themselves with the only national chapter who will take them (the all-black Lambda Lambda Lambda), and use their superior intellect to launch a counterstrike. The bespectacled but loveable geeks set up surveillance cameras in the Pi bathroom and put liquid heat in the athletes' jock straps, then draft a sister sorority of misfits (Omega Mu) to strengthen their resources. The frats quickly become bitter rivals, and the goal is to win the annual fraternity decathlon, which involves such feats as a burping contest and a go-cart race, with bragging rights (and perhaps peace of mind) at stake. Look for John Goodman and future thirtysomething cast member Timothy Busfield in small roles, and expect a torrent of nasal laughter. ~ Derek Armstrong, All Movie Guide

Middling comedy

The Bottom Line:

Another one of those "comedy classics" that's not actually a very funny or good movie, Revenge of the Nerds has occasional funny moments but it neither warrants its reputation as a memorable film nor your time and money; unless you're the type of person who finds the Police Academy series to be the zenith of modern comedy then stay away from this film.

2.5/4

Very Funny!!!

This was on tv today, so I watched it to refresh my memory. It is really funny! Lewis and Gilbert are nerdy friends going to Adams College. One the first day, they are picked on and eventually forced all the nerds to live in the gym. They finally find a messy house and fix it up so they can live in it, but the Alpha Betas and Pi Delta Pis still do awful things to them, so the nerds try to take a stand a fight back! If you are a nerd like me and love classic comedy, you'll love REVENGE OF THE NERDS!!!

Revenge is Sweet

What an interesting way for cinema to capture the imagination of the people. This movie has forever cemented 'nerds' as being a seperate part of society. Although these days the thin line between a 'nerd' and a 'tech head' is thining, this movie captures the stereotypes held in the 70's, 80's and 90's that most 'non nerds' felt at the time.

There was talk of a remake in 2006 that i cant find any info on.
The most recent 'revenge of the nerds video i can find is linked below.
