"Babes and brewskis" are just not enough to carry an entire picture.

Janet Maslin

The nerds' rap number, in which they sing of nerd pride, is probably the high point of this whole endeavor.

This is a movie that doesn't just make you feel dumb, it makes you feel as if your head has been hollowed out and pumped full of Cheez Whiz.

Roger Ebert

If the filmmakers had possessed an ounce of imagination, they would have invested the Tri-Lambs with true nerd-dom, and then watched them try to overcome their nerdy tendencies.
