Revenge of the Nerds IV (1994) * (out of 4)Booger (Curtis Armstrong) is about to be married but his future father-in-law doesn't like him because (shock) he's a nerd. Soon the other nerds from the first film are back and find themselves in yet another fight to be accepted as real people. I must admit that this here is a major step-up from the third film but that's really not saying much and in the end we're left with yet another cheap, made-for-TV flick that falls flat on its face in terms of badness. The lack of real laughs is the deadliest thing here as once again the producer's go through all the trouble of getting the original cast back together yet they give them absolutely nothing to work with. The screenplay goes for all of the obvious jokes but this time out they're just boring and unfunny. Seriously, how many times can we see the same nerds put into the same situation and having the same outcome? I almost drowned when I was a kid once and I remember struggling in the water but of course not being able to do anything since there was nothing to grab onto. No matter how hard I tried it was just a lost cause. That thought passed through my head while watching this film because you can tell that the entire cast are trying their hardest to make this thing work but they simply have nothing to work with and you can't help but see the entire film go under. Robert Carradine, Julia Montgomery, James Cromwell and Donald Gibb are just some of the returning crew. Ted McGinley also makes a few quick (and cheap) appearances here. The entire plot is quite predictable but there are a few minor laughs to be had here but in the end you still have to put this into the really bad, really stupid ideas bracket.

I bought the "atomic wedgie" edition of Revenge of the Nerds, it had all the sequels in it, so I watched Revenge of the Nerds 2 and 3 today before the fourth one, and I was actually surprised. Despite their bad rating, I really enjoyed them, sure they weren't as good as the first, but they had their laughs. So I was looking forward to Revenge of the Nerds IV: Nerds in Love, because I figured that if I liked the other sequels, I would like this one, but it turned out to be different. Despite the fact that there were a couple of laughs, for the most part this was just a recycled story that really didn't work or click as well as the other stories did.Booger is finally settling down, that's right, the perverted nose picker is tying the knot. Now he's not just marrying some girl, but she comes from a very important and rich family where her father is involved in politics. But her father and brother in-law absolutely hate Booger on site and are anti-nerd. So naturally they want to ruin the wedding by getting some dirt on Booger. But his friends, including best man, Lewis, are determined to make sure that everything goes smoothly and give the father and brother in-law a new perspective on nerds in love.Revenge of the Nerds IV: Nerds in Love isn't the worst movie on Earth, but it's just the worst movie in the Nerds series, so I really wouldn't recommend it. It just wasn't needed since the story was so bland and reused from the other films, if it was completely different, it might have worked, but it was just the same jokes. However I did laugh a couple times still, I can't help it, these guys do crack me up, so I'm going to be kind with my rating, at least I think it is with how much of a waste of a good story was on this sequel.2/10

This movie gets a bad rap. It's actually better than the last 2 sequels. But as "Made for TV" sequels go, they could have just made some piece of sh**. And even though it's not "Gone with the Wind", it has it's moments. The best thing is the inclusion of the original cast. More so than any of the sequels yet. Hell you had, Betty, Stan,Oger, even U.N. Jefferson. The 3-D parts if you saw it when it aired on Fox, were pretty cool...but there is one thing that just pisses me off!!! I'm glad they brought back Gilbert at the end, but "Who the hell is this guy??".Everybody else took a little time out of their schedule to, at least make a cameo. Was Anthony Edwards "Too Busy", to stop by and see some old friends and do that big 2 minute scene. Kudo's to the ones who did. It made you remember what a great movie the original was and a little nerd reunion is not such a bad thing. And Mr. "I'm a big-shot E.R. guy" Edwards,...you too were a nerd. Deal with it!!!!!!

This film is a SMALL step downwards from the other "Nerds" flicks. However, it is still pretty funny. Booger is getting married! Of all the Nerds I expected to wed, Booger was last! So....the happy bride is the (MU) daughter of an up-and-coming politician. The father obviously can't let his daughter marry a NERD! There are attempts to torpedo the wedding and Nerd-ly attempts to keep it going. Nearly all the previous Nerds are back and are as good as ever! I love the entire Nerds series and this one was only slightly less good than the others! Rent this sucker today!
