(Credit IMDb) Get out your white socks! This time our suave college heroes hit the road for fun and fraternity in Florida. Another opportunity for brains to triumph over brawn. How can the girls possibly resist their geeky charms?What a poor excuse for a sequel! I liked the first one, but it wasn't exactly clamoring for a sequel. This one screams laziness and forgets what made the first one successful. Anthony Edwards is reduced to a glorified cameo in this one, Robert Carradine is forced to carry much of the crappy material that he can't do much with. Betty Childs (Julia Montgomery) The girl Lewis gets together with at the end of the first movie doesn't appear in this one. As a matter of fact, Courtney Thorne- Smith becomes his love interest in this one. I like her as an actress, but she lacks the spunk to be that interesting. Ostensibly, Julia Montgomery turned down to reprise her role because she was supposed to have dumped Lewis and she felt it would have negated all the changes her character made in this movie. It was a wise choice. Followed by two more sequels that went STV. I would skip this one if I were you, it provides you with no laughs and it's dull3.6/10

Revenge of the Nerds was described as "the ultimate nerd revenge fantasy" movie and what Louis says near the end is true: there are a lot more of us nerds than the beautiful people. This is what made it such an enjoyable movie.Revenge of the nerds II could have had so many possibilities but was clearly delayed in production and hampered by the fact that most of the original cast seemed to have opted out for the second go-round. Anthony Edwards phoned in a cameo at the beginning. Three years after the first movie, he had already been in the popular movies "Top Gun" and "Gotcha," and probably did the cameo as a compromise.Only Gilbert, Booger, Wormser, Lamar, and Poindexter are around for part two and the entire movie takes place in Fort Lauderdale spring break, where the boys attend a fraternity conference. Shockingly, only Ogre is around from the Alpha Betas this time.Lots of predictably stupid yuks come from Poindexter's bottle bottom glasses and overall clumsiness and Booger's extreme lack of couth. Lamar and Wormser are mostly just "there" with Lamar glittering himself up more than he did in the first movie.Of course the Alpha Betas manage to get the tri Lambs kicked out of their desirable hotel reservation and of course they end up at the only other hotel available, a horrendous, fallen-down fleabag. There is also a weird scene at a zoo park/bar.The best part of the movie happens in the opening credits, where 38 Special plays a snappy tune "Take me back to paradise." From there it's all downhill, including some embarrassingly bad camera work for a major feature. In too many scenes there is a "proscenium arch" camera angle with no other cuts or edits, as if a college kid on an iPad filmed every scene in one take and said "editing? What's that?As a sequel, it's almost fascinatingly bad but not really worth the trouble.

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.

I may be in the minority, but I loved this film. I loved the original as well. The sequel has plenty of laughs, and many occur during understated moments. The nerds' arrival at their one-star hotel, the Hotel Coral Essex, was hilarious to me. Who among us hasn't found ourselves in less-than-desirable accommodations at one time or another? From the chickens roaming inside, to the un-swimmable pool, to the Peep Show establishment sharing the building, this is the embodiment of everyone's vacation nightmare, a la "National Lampoon's Vacation", but even more so. The Cuban-American front desk clerk-- and her fervent love of Ricky Ricardo-- was a real treat. Those who did not laugh at these moments are likely those who are less experienced in life. I enjoyed the Florida "stereotypes" (which were not all insulting -- Sunny was a nice, typical Florida girl), having traveled there myself, as well as the blast-from-the-past 1980s setting/filming. The stereotype of the flamboyantly gay man in Lamar's character was enjoyable and humorous to me, and I hope other viewers saw it in the "light" way that it was meant to be taken, as well. I also hope that other viewers were not offended in any way by the portrayal of the African American chapter of Tri-Lambda, because I found them to be the *most* upstanding characters in both this film and the original. I would have liked to see those characters featured in even more scenes. While the absence of Gilbert on the trip was a little disappointing, it was great to see him for a few moments here and there. Lewis carried the other scenes perfectly well by himself. With his sensitive nature and good looks beneath his "nerd" costuming, it is not too much of a stretch to imagine beautiful yet emotionally mature and smart ladies like Sunny falling in love with Lewis. Finally (POSSIBLE SPOILER? ALERT!), I couldn't have asked for a happier ending than the conversion of one of the Alpha Betas. Some extra features on the DVD (such as outtakes, interviews, cast biographies, etc.) would have been welcomed / appreciated, but one can't have everything, I guess!
