Nerds, nerds, nerds

Revenge of the Nerds (1984)

American college comedy that went on to spawn 3 sequels starring Robert Carradine and Anthony Edwards today with support from a large cast. Social misfits get picked on by jocks and their girlfriends so decide to fight back.

Treading pretty much the same ground as Animal House (1978) this is one of your typical college films with few surprises along the way. There are some funny moments and the obligatory nudity that fill out pretty much all the details you would expect as well as the standard “it's good to be a misfit” ending. You have probably seen this film done both better and worse elsewhere.

3/5 average 80s comedy.
