Revenge of the Nerds Reviews

While much is in the Animal House vein and quite funny, several tasteless episodes mar the film.

| Jul 20, 2017

If you've seen Porky's, Animal House, D.C. Cab, or Police Academy, you've seen Nerds. And if you liked the prototypes, you'll like the latest of the genre, low humor and all -- belching, mooning, panty raids, peeping at girls and booger jokes.

| Oct 2, 2015

The underlying intelligence of director Jeff Kanew glimmers through at times, and is reflected in a couple of nice performances.

There is a theory that every Hollywood star has a turkey or two in their closet, so today, step forward Anthony Edwards, star of the hit 온라인카지노추천 series ER.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 2, 2015

It's one of the great unfathomable mysteries of Hollywood that this unspeakably awful comedy was successful enough to spawn no less than three (count 'em) sequels.

| Oct 2, 2015

Even as a summer throwaway, this college comedy about nerds, those born-to-be-victimized souls, is pitifully thin.

| Oct 2, 2015

This funny movie is about 10 rungs above the usual teenage-college films.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 2, 2015

It's clear, too, that the movie's almost complete dearth of laughs plays a significant role in its downfall...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 24, 2014

The kind of movie you saw on video when it was still forbidden fruit and loved it, only to find it much uglier with the rose-colored glasses removed.

| Original Score: D | Jul 22, 2014

Advances an interesting pro-diversity agenda: The 'nerds' aren't just brainy geeks but outcasts, including a flamboyant gay black man. (When big block letters that spell NERDS are set on fire outside the nerd house, you're reminded of burning crosses.)

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 6, 2014

Works mainly for the hilarious script, and very unique characters that are able to connect with audiences.

The nerds perpetuate a nasty streak of behavior toward women that violates the film's general live-and-let-live attitude, and it stains what is otherwise intended as raunchy but lighthearted fun.

| Original Score: C- | Jun 3, 2012

Racy college comedy has heart; OK for older teens.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2011

Although the time period may feel ambiguous, its message of everyone feeling like an outsider and just wanting to belong, is universal.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 10, 2010

Simple-minded romp about a group of freshmen outcasts doesn't qualify for the dean's list, but Revenge of the Nerds shows more than enough smarts to deserve passing grades.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 29, 2007

Somewhere in all the fluff and garbage is just enough heart to make Revenge of the Nerds one of the forefathers of a generation of light-hearted comedies like American Pie, American Pie 2 and American Wedding.

| Aug 13, 2007

It's got everything for this kind of film %u2013 nudity, sex, swearing and dirty jokes.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 10, 2007

A questionable classic at best.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 3, 2007

The only worthy successor to Animal House.
