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!
