Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Nerdman Shyamalan Animal House is of course the best college comedy, but this film would come in at a close second. There are plenty of good bits here that will surely make you laugh, but I do believe that the film could have used a bit more work in terms of the script, but as a whole it works and this is among the better comedies of this period. This is one of the few college comedies that has some of the most memorable characters and for that, it remains a classic college comedy that will surely entertain you. The cast make it a fun film to watch and it is definitely a fine 80's comedy that will entertain you from start to finish. The story is simple, yet memorable in the long run.

John Brooks 'Revenge of the Nerds', 1984. Okay, so you don't need a descriptive review or opinion here, you know exactly what this is going to be. A couple of nerd protagonists in a new college, the jock group, the chicks, racial stereotypes, Weird Al Yankovic and an 80's then-modern computerized soundtrack... you get it already.But is it any good ? Yeah. It's funny. From the most annoying donkey-like geek laughs, to the deadpan presence of Bernie Casey in some of the most ridiculous scenes of the film, the stupid weird dancing and uptight nerds going wild, the gay black kid character at a time when one could just laugh at funny things without moral taboos... the movie-makers really did some work for this one and it isn't the gratuitous unsubtle incarnation of the project you may imagine.Whether it's a cult classic changes nothing for you if you're a new viewer, but there's more to this film than just the narratives. Oh and a nice, and believable moral at the end.Discover it if you're tempted to in the first place, it's pretty fun.

jimbo-53-186511 Lewis (Robert Carradine) and Gilbert (Anthony Edwards) are sent to Adams College and quickly find themselves as outcasts due to the fact that they are 'nerds.' After being constantly bullied by the Alpha Betas or Jocks as they are otherwise known, the nerds set about getting revenge against the Jocks.So that's your basic plot line and there is no point in attempting to elaborate further as there is nothing much more that I can say beyond my basic plot summary. You essentially have the social outcasts against the popular 'sporty' types who only clash when the jocks own digs end up being burned down.What essentially follows from this point is a series of tiresome and unfunny sequences involving attempted 'one upmanship' between the two rival camps all of which have no real spark or imagination. It's also a very lazy film which felt as though it had ripped off almost everything that we'd seen before in Animal House (only to much lesser effect). Whereas Animal House was gross-out and overdone, it was at least quite amusing, but this film barely registered a chuckle with me.I also found some of the writing to be somewhat inconsistent; on the one hand it suggests at the end that you should just be happy with yourself and stand up for who you are (which is fine). However, I did take some exception with how we ultimately got to this moral conclusion; there is a scene where Lewis convinces pretty sorority girl Betty that he is her boyfriend Stan when he puts on a mask which means that Betty sleeps with Lewis (believing him to be Stan). After Lewis has slept with Betty, Lewis pulls off his mask and Betty then learns that it was Lewis that she slept with rather than Stan. Clearly she is mortified at first, but realising that he was a better lover than Stan she then decides she wants to be a nerd and remain with Lewis. Arguably, it would have been better if a nerdy girl would have been in love with Lewis, but Lewis shunned her advances because he fancied Betty only for Lewis to later discover that Betty was a shallow air head and hence Lewis ended up with the nerdy girl. That probably would have been a better direction for the film to take, but hey I can't change what has already been done... Taking everything into account, I get what the writers were trying to achieve here and I did like the whole 'pro-nerd' vibe, but I must admit to finding it slightly uncomfortable watching a nerd bed a girl under false pretences. I mean would what Lewis did to Betty be classed as rape? She consented to sex, but in the belief that she was sleeping with Stan rather than Lewis. It's just a bit morally iffy in my eyes...Revenge of the nerds has a good albeit predictable message, but truth be told the film is short on laughs, has no real character development and very little in the way of originality. I've actually enjoyed some of the more modern re-workings of Revenge of the nerds such as American Pie, but if you want some genuine old school frat-boy humour then you'd be better off watching Animal House.

callanvass (Credit IMDb) At a big campus, a group of bullied outcasts and misfits resolve to fight back for their peace and self respect.I've seen all four movies. This is by far the best of the lot. I have a weakness for cheesy 80's films. For some reason, I'm in love with the 80's, especially movies. Everything was so simple back then. This movie really shed new light on how nerds were viewed. They went from hated to revered by the public because they were painted as underdogs. Obviously, there are still many nerds being bullied to this day, but it isn't as frowned upon as it was back then. Let's face it, who hasn't wanted to see a bully get bested by the underdog? That's what is so great about this movie. Robert Carradine is very memorable as Lews Skolnick, reprising his role in three more sequels, two of them STV. Anthony Edwards is a blast as his best pal Gilbert. He'd be reduced to a mere cameo in the second movie and written out of the 3rd and fourth movies altogether. Curtis Armstrong is amusingly uncouth as Booger. Ted McGinley plays a terrific jock. John Goodman has a role as a coach. The rest of the cast do fine as well. Overall, if you put your expectations aside, you should have fun. It is much better than the wildly overpraised Animal House. Followed by three sequels. Avoid them all except Revenge of The Nerds III6.5/10
