Animal House is of course the best college comedy, but this film would come in at a close second. There are plenty of good bits here that will surely make you laugh, but I do believe that the film could have used a bit more work in terms of the script, but as a whole it works and this is among the better comedies of this period. This is one of the few college comedies that has some of the most memorable characters and for that, it remains a classic college comedy that will surely entertain you. The cast make it a fun film to watch and it is definitely a fine 80's comedy that will entertain you from start to finish. The story is simple, yet memorable in the long run.

I really enjoyed the movie but it stereotypically targeted people who are smart, weak and dresses plainly. I mean, anyone can get bullied regardless of what you look like or act towards people especially when it comes with personality. Also for being a bad guy, you most likely be the one who likes doing rough sports and looking down on people. Sure, anyone can be bully especially smart people if they tried! That's just my opinion on movies like this.Moving on, I honestly didn't know John Goodman got involved in this movie and boy, he looked fine for being an average weight man. This was like before he became really heavy but still, he's a great actor! I liked how in the end, Soriaty girl Betty Childs and Lewis finally became a couple. It does remind you of "Grease" a bit except there was no transformation involved unfortunately for Lewis lol! It does prove to you that you can find love regardless of who you are and what you look like!

In 1984's "Revenge of the Nerds" a group of social outcasts at Adams College are persecuted by fraternities of jocks and popular girls. To defend themselves they form their own fraternity and use their brains to outwit their enemies."Revenge" is over three decades old now and has formulated a decent reputation, as far as school/college comedies go. The film works because it's amusing enough and -- despite the youthful inanities and occasional raunch -- the viewer starts to care about the outcasts and their cause; we celebrate when they have a victory over the pompous crowd. There's some nudity so stay away if that turns you off.The film runs 90 minutes and was shot in Tucson, Arizona.GRADE: B

(Credit IMDb) At a big campus, a group of bullied outcasts and misfits resolve to fight back for their peace and self respect.I've seen all four movies. This is by far the best of the lot. I have a weakness for cheesy 80's films. For some reason, I'm in love with the 80's, especially movies. Everything was so simple back then. This movie really shed new light on how nerds were viewed. They went from hated to revered by the public because they were painted as underdogs. Obviously, there are still many nerds being bullied to this day, but it isn't as frowned upon as it was back then. Let's face it, who hasn't wanted to see a bully get bested by the underdog? That's what is so great about this movie. Robert Carradine is very memorable as Lews Skolnick, reprising his role in three more sequels, two of them STV. Anthony Edwards is a blast as his best pal Gilbert. He'd be reduced to a mere cameo in the second movie and written out of the 3rd and fourth movies altogether. Curtis Armstrong is amusingly uncouth as Booger. Ted McGinley plays a terrific jock. John Goodman has a role as a coach. The rest of the cast do fine as well. Overall, if you put your expectations aside, you should have fun. It is much better than the wildly overpraised Animal House. Followed by three sequels. Avoid them all except Revenge of The Nerds III6.5/10
