Nerds without computers may seem a contradiction in terms, but life was simpler back in 1984 and the geeks seemed to get along fine with just a slide rule and a plastic pocket protector. A variation on the fraternity-farce plot of Animal House, the picture celebrates the triumphs of a gang of geeks, led by Robert Carradine and a pre-E.R. Anthony Edwards, as they get back at a rival frat house full of jocks and preppies. Although the brains-over-brawn theme ought to be sure-fire, the movie gets by mostly on charm; there are very few explosively funny sequences. The supporting cast includes some surprising familiar faces, notably James Cromwell (Babe, L.A. Confidential) as Carradine's look-alike dad, pants hoisted proudly to his armpits. The director, Jeff Kanew (Gotcha!), went on to the 1991 private-eye belly flop V.I. Warshawski and has not been heard from since. --David Chute

 Very Funny!!! May 21, 2009
PUMPKIN MAN
This was on tv today, so I watched it to refresh my memory. It is really funny! Lewis and Gilbert are nerdy friends going to Adams College. One the first day, they are picked on and eventually forced all the nerds to live in the gym. They finally find a messy house and fix it up so they can live in it, but the Alpha Betas and Pi Delta Pis still do awful things to them, so the nerds try to take a stand a fight back! If you are a nerd like me and love classic comedy, you'll love REVENGE OF THE NERDS!!!

Revenge is Sweet January 13, 2009

What an interesting way for cinema to capture the imagination of the people. This movie has forever cemented 'nerds' as being a seperate part of society. Although these days the thin line between a 'nerd' and a 'tech head' is thining, this movie captures the stereotypes held in the 70's, 80's and 90's that most 'non nerds' felt at the time.
There was talk of a remake in 2006 that i cant find any info on.
The most recent 'revenge of the nerds video i can find is linked below.

This "new" edition DVD is well worth the money if you want extra features. The interviews and behind the scenes content is great and almost all of the cast tells stories about filming. If you are an "extra features" dork like I am then you will love this DVD.
Sweet Revenge: The Nerd-Tormentors Get to Itch, Twitch, and Dance August 15, 2007

A group of college nerds, having been rejected by others, form their own sorority. The administration, noting such things as the racial diversity of the proposed sorority, approves of it.
The highlight of the film is the payback time against those who gave a hard time to the nerds. The nerds sneak into the locker room, apply some sort of irritant substance to the jockstraps, and wait for the unsuspecting football players to put them on. Out in the field, the jocks suffer total humiliation: They itch, jump around, and engage in bizarre dances in their attempts to relieve the irritation. Absolutely hilarious!
