Robert Carradine, Curtis Armstrong, Timothy Busfield, Larry B. Scott, Courteney Thorne-Smith, Donald Gibb, Bradley Whitford and Anthony Edwards star in this 1987 comedy sequel. This entry has nerds, Lewis (Carradine), Booger (Armstrong), Poindexter (Busfield) and Lamar (Scott) traveling to Fort Lauderdale, Florida for a convention to represent Adams College fraternity, Lambda Lambda Lambda. Whitford (Billy Madison) plays Roger, the Chapter President of the Alpha Beta fraternity who tries to get them expelled by framing them, but underestimates them when they decide to fight back. Smith (Summer School) plays Sunny, a hotel clerk who finds romance with Lewis, Gibb (Bloodsport) returns as Alpha Beta member, Ogre who eventually joins the Nerds and Edwards (Top Gun) also returns briefly as Lewis' pal, Gilbert. I grew up watching this sequel and always enjoyed it almost as much as the original. The cast is great and I recommend this.

Revenge of the Nerds 2: Nerds in Paradise is a horrible sequel. The only redeeming qualities is the sound track featuring Pseudo Echo's cover of "Funky Town", and .38 Special's "Take Me Back To Paradise". And though it was fun and somewhat nostalgic to see our favorite nerds again, the script was just awful, and the plot exceedingly thin.This was clearly made for the sake of making the studio money. I had thought that it was a rushed sequel, as the script was so bad. However, this film was put out three years after the original, allowing for plenty of time for a quality plot and script to be developed. Like its contemporaries such as the Police Academy series, this sequel just lets the audience down and was unfortunately continued after this horrible train wreck.

Revenge of the Nerds II (1987) was a useless sequel. There was no reason (except for monetary motives) for this movie to have ever been made. First of all they have obviously ran out of ideas, secondly only a third of the cast was available and last but not least they made it into a P.G. movie. Why on earth would you try and market a raunchy comedy as a P.G. movie. Well, this didn't make any money. Not only did the product stink but it did like wise at the box office.A bad movie that shouldn't have been made in the first place. Not only the film-makers didn't learn the first time around, two more made-for-t.v. sequels were produced during the 90's (I guess FOX didn't learn from that abortion Omen IV). Not worth watching (unless you are a HUGE Revenge of the Nerds fan). Take my word, ignore this one.Bad movie.

I liked the first film, because I found it likable entertainment, but this is just crude, silly, and watered-down (PG-13? how typical) entertainment that involves the further embarrassment of the gang of nerds, led by Carradine, as they vacation on an island resort and become the butt end of a lot of practical jokes by some island studs who get all the women.There's a sequence where the nerds find themselves in front of an audience, standing around in underwear, that finally made me realize the comedy was going nowhere but downwards.It's very juvenile and relies entirely on poopy humor for laughs. One of the characters is a big rip-off of John Belushi from "Animal House," and he burps with his next-door neighbor on the island.I liked the original, and this film is adequate for a "lazy Sunday," but I don't recommend it as a rental. Don't pay to see it. Wait for it on TV--but only if you liked the original.And if you never saw the original, don't see this first. You may never want to watch the first one ever again.2/5 stars.P.S. I consider the IMDb rating of 3.9 stars a bit of a "bandwagon jump." A lot of people who voted probably didn't hate the movie enough to give it such a low rating. I'd probably rate it in the area of 4.6 - 4.9, because it's not completely terrible.John Ulmer
