When boorish frat guys commandeer their humble dorm at Adams College, bespectacled Lewis, shy Gilbert, and the rest of the "nerds" retaliate by forming their own fraternity--and setting their sights on the coveted Greek Council. But it won't be easy, so they'll have to summon their smarts to beat the jocks at their own game. Much better than most films in its teen-sex genre, REVENGE OF THE NERDS features a stellar cast, including Robert Carradine, Anthony Edwards (ER), Timorthy Busfield (THE WEST WING), Curtis Armstrong (MOONLIGHTING), Ted McGinley (MARRIED WITH CHILDREN), and John Goodman (ROSEANNE).

Reviews
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.
It's got everything for this kind of film %u2013 nudity, sex, swearing and dirty jokes.
Compared to most of today's gross-out extravaganzas... this exceedingly upbeat saga seems almost wholesome.
The ultimate 80's teen comedy...Carradine and Edwards are gut-bustingly hilarious!
One of the landmark tits and ass films of the eighties, and surprisingly a comedy with a lot of humor and even some heart.
