When lovable nerds Gilbert and Lewis embark on their freshman year at Adams College, little do they realize the dangers that await them. They are beset by taunting from the jocks of Alpha Beta fraternity, which only worsens when the jocks accidentally burn down their house and toss the freshmen out of the freshmen dorm. To make matters more problematic, Lewis develops a crush on pretty Betty Childs, popular sorority sister and quarterback's girlfriend. Joined by the aptly named Booger and the violin-playing Poindexter, the nerds soon realize they must form their own fraternity in self-defense. Soon the tables are turned as the nerds employ high-tech warfare against the jocks.... but can they really succeed and make a difference?
Leave your thoughts about Revenge of the Nerds.
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussAdvances 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.) |
| VarietyVariety StaffSimple-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. |
| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumPocket-protector fans, unite! Some funny moments. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames KendrickThe conflation of discriminated-against minorities and discriminated-against nerds is something of an uneasy pairing, but it does bring out the fact that predjudice is prejudice, no matter who it's aimed at or for what reason. |

| Three Movie BuffsScott NashAlthough the time period may feel ambiguous, its message of everyone feeling like an outsider and just wanting to belong, is universal. |
| Mania.comRob VauxThe 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. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.Works mainly for the hilarious script, and very unique characters that are able to connect with audiences. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyIt is the absence of genuine comedy that exposes glaringly the film's fundamental attitude of condescension and scorn toward blacks and women, and a tendency toward stereotyping that clashes violently with its superficial message of tolerance, compassion and fair play. |
