It reunites most of the original cast and rounds them up for a trip to Fort Lauderdale for spring break, but Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise forgets to pack enough jokes or compelling characters to make it through its 89-minute running time.

It's a gross parody of its original. And since the original was a gross parody to begin with, the whole thing begins to seem gaseous, overbright, hideously inflated, as if all the bodily function jokes were about to belch it right off the screen.
Top CriticBy all evidence, to make Nerds II, it took over 1,000 people with an aggregate IQ of under 1.
This one's on automatic pilot all the way.
Because the cast is basically the same in both parts of the Nerds saga, the blame for the saga's decline must be assigned elsewhere. A good bet is that the change in director and screenwriters.
The leading characters may have high IQs, but most of the humor rests a few degrees south of lowbrow.
The nerds' rap number, in which they sing of nerd pride, is probably the high point of this whole endeavor.
This is fairly clever.
One hopes that more inspiration comes to the creation of Nerds III, which already is being planned. The essence of the nerds needs to be resurrected.
"Babes and brewskis" are just not enough to carry an entire picture.
Another crazy jaunt from the put-upon geeks
The first was passable. This is getting painful.
has little to offer that wasn't done better by the first movie
