Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise (1987)

The is an awful movie. The first one is not better. In fact it is worst . Do not see this movie. The story line is awful. It is not funny. Do not see it. It is terrible. It is very boring. Good actors wasted talent being in this awful movie. 4.9 is just overrating this awful movie. I do not no why it got a 4.9 it is just awful. I give it 4 out of 10. It is so awful. The first was not funny. And this is not funny. Do not wast your time. Do not wast your money. Do not see this movie. This is boring. Courtney Thorne Smith is a very pretty woman that is one thing I will say for. But that does not make up for how boring this movie is. I do not know why people think this is funny. It is not it is just boring.

This time the nerds led by Robert Carradine and Anthonny Edwards go to Florida where there they meet a new breed of jocks who they face off against and basically destroy in the end, the problem with this entry is that the nerds this time are too cool to really be considered nerds and they even get a girlfriend sympathetic to their cause, this undermines all the humor, not to mention that away from the college dorm setting, there really isn't much the nerds can do that they didn't in the original. As a sequel this is all disappointing stuff, but aside from James Hong who gives an inspired performance as well as maybe a few vaguely amusing moments, Revenge Of The Nerds II is a big disappointment.

As with many sequels, this one is, alas, a definite step down from the original Nerds film. The nerds are back, for the most part, the originals, but the story is written so differently from the first. This film attempts to be a bit more humorous than the first, but it falls flat. The humor is this one is the lowbrow type of humor so common today. It is either sophomoric sexual innuendo, slapstick or scatological in nature and it's just not funny. I loved the first flick and, expecting this not to be quite as good, was nonetheless quite disappointed in it. The story line in this is also somewhat similar to the first film and didn't seem very original to me. The acting is just as good as it was in the original film but the writing and storyline are just not up to par with the original, so not even decent acting can save it. A 5 only.

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.
