So much average

Fantastic!

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

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.

This was a disappointment compared to the original. Why is it that sequels often try to do similar things, similar plots, similar jokes? Not necessary! A sequel to me must be original to some degree, too. The beginning was promising, the middle part had enormous lengths and very bad scripting and the end was bland. I loved the characters though. Believable like the original. However, Poindexter seemed much too talkative and sometimes even made sense, almost as if Milton Waddams went to a speech-therapist. I did not like the setting at all and the hotel scenes were very far fetched.All in all rather disappointing. Too bad.

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.

Nerds in Paradise is not a great flick and it doesn't deserve to be showered with accolades. If you just look at it for what it is, a corny 80's comedy, then it makes a lot more sense and you can sit back and have fun with it. The return of most of the cast helps make Paradise better than the first one simply because it is funnier than the original. Booger remains the funniest nerd, and the whole cast has fun with the film. Bottom Line: A funny 80's comedy that deserves a little more than it gets.
