Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise Audience Reviews

Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
jacobjohntaylor1 The is an awful movie. The first one is not better. In fact it is worst . Do not see this movie. The story line is awful. It is not funny. Do not see it. It is terrible. It is very boring. Good actors wasted talent being in this awful movie. 4.9 is just overrating this awful movie. I do not no why it got a 4.9 it is just awful. I give it 4 out of 10. It is so awful. The first was not funny. And this is not funny. Do not wast your time. Do not wast your money. Do not see this movie. This is boring. Courtney Thorne Smith is a very pretty woman that is one thing I will say for. But that does not make up for how boring this movie is. I do not know why people think this is funny. It is not it is just boring.
funky_cherry86 Revenge Of The Nerds II Nerds In Paradise may not a comedy classic like it's predecessor Revenge Of The Nerds but it's still an enjoyable movie to watch.This time our nerd heroes must once again fight back against their most hated enemy. Robert Carradine's character Lewis grows up quite a bit and stands up for his fraternity brothers.Curtis Armstrong is as always his funny self when playing nose picker Booger his character is more hilarious, he says some great lines in the film. A year has passed since a group of intelligent and awkward young men banded together to form a fraternity to fight back against the Alpha Betas. They succeeded in their battle of brains vs. brawn guaranteeing nerd freedom, Now Lewis (Carradine) and his friends Wormser (Cassese), Pointdexter (Busfield), Lamar (Scott) & Booger (Armstrong) are about to represent Adams College at a united fraternity conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.Once there they are prosecuted and picked on again by another chapter of the Alpha Betas run by Roger Latimore (Whitford). Sunny Carstairs (Smith) a hotel employee befriends the nerdy gang and falls in love with Lewis.Towards the end after being marooned on an island the boys find military equipment and using an army tank they head back to the conference to confront Roger and his group with the help of Ogre (Gibb) who becomes a member of the Lambda Lambdas after being kicked out of the Alphas.This film may not be a laugh fest but certainly provides very little humour and memorable quotes.
Michael_Elliott Revenge of the Nerds II (1987) * 1/2 (out of 4) Poor sequel has the nerds heading to Florida for a fraternity convention but the place is full of jocks who don't want anything to do with the lovable losers. As in the first film, the nerds must try to figure out a way to make those pretty people understand them. Considering how much money the first film made I guess it's a little bit shocking that it took them three years to get a sequel made but after viewing this thing it's obvious they didn't take that much time trying to come up with a good screenplay. With very few exceptions sequels are just the first film slightly altered but what really sinks this one is that we get watered down, PG-13 rated jokes that are just poor copies of great jokes from the first film. I've never fully understood why studios think they need to water down jokes to try and bring in a larger audience. Going by the box office numbers it's clear the PG-13 rating wasn't what the film needed. What it did need was a better screenplay because what we get here is pretty lazy as the majority of the jokes fall flat on their face. The problem with many of them is that the characters here are so poorly written that most of the time we just see them acting over-the-top and this really goes against what their characters were in the first movie. The entire idea of them traveling to Florida for some conference is pretty weak story wise and one must wonder why something better wasn't thought of. Robert Carradine returns as Lewis and while the performance is fine you can't help but notice how hard he's having to work to try and make up for the screenplay. Curtis Armstrong is also back as are a few others from the first film but the screenplay does none of them any favors. Even worse is Donald Gibb who gets nothing to do except making dumb sounds as Orge.
bronsonskull72 This time the nerds led by Robert Carradine and Anthonny Edwards go to Florida where there they meet a new breed of jocks who they face off against and basically destroy in the end, the problem with this entry is that the nerds this time are too cool to really be considered nerds and they even get a girlfriend sympathetic to their cause, this undermines all the humor, not to mention that away from the college dorm setting, there really isn't much the nerds can do that they didn't in the original. As a sequel this is all disappointing stuff, but aside from James Hong who gives an inspired performance as well as maybe a few vaguely amusing moments, Revenge Of The Nerds II is a big disappointment.
