Movie: Revenge of the Nerds (1984)*****

LOVE THIS MOVIE. Not much has changed in college humor except technology, so if you laughed at Revenge of the Nerds in the 80s, then you’ll laugh even harder now. 

Best friends Gilbert and Lewis go off to college in hopes of finally becoming “men.” Instead, they find that they and a bunch of other freaks, geeks and weirdos are the lowest on totem pole at Adams College. They use their quirky charms, wits and skills to improve their situation, which leads to the fun and funny passing by all too quickly on your viewing screen.

College humor involves sex. In RotN, tHere’s a panty raid, grab-assing, and a moon-room sexual encounter. Then there’s the stand-around college boobs. What’s that? I think humor writers have this odd notion or wet dream that women just stand around talking while topless. There is no reality in this, but a stand-around boob scene always seems to pop up in college humor movies. 

This movie stands the test of time and remains one of my favorite. I laugh out loud and I want to laugh some more! Five stars**** BREAAAAAAK!

Movie: Road Trip (2000) *****

This is one of the few comedy movies I really like and can watch over and over and still laugh out loud. I also own it, which says a lot.

Josh is off to college across the country from his best friend/girlfriend. He wants to keep up their promise to stay true to each other, but finds that there’s a lot of temptations and something about a not-being-in-the-same-zip-code rule. So, I won’t give away what leads to it, but Josh and his college friends find themselves on a road trip across the country full of crazy characters and silly antics including pretending to be a member of a historically Black fraternity. It's tricky.

This is a college humor movie so sexual behavior is all over the place. There a few boners, girls kissing and falling in love after a particularly good session of horizontal mambo. There’s also the stand-around boobs that made another memorable appearance in Revenge of the Nerds. I don’t get it. I don’t know any women who just stand around chitchatting while topless. 

Anyway, this movie is hilarious and I want to watch it again, right now, in fact, but I must move onto something else. Maybe. Five stars: It’s a favorite *****
