Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise Reviews

Michael Wilmington

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.

By 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 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.

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.
