Revenge of the Nerds

A couple of funny scenes, but ultimately this movie will fade into obscurity in my memory among the endless stream of terrible raunchy 80s comedies. The concepts are much funnier than the movie itself. A lot of the jokes are completely tasteless and rely on offensive stereotypes to even approach comedic effect. John Goodman and Curtis Armstrong give pretty good performances but everyone else is pretty much just annoying.

Goofy but some funny parts in this 1980s comic classic.

Best movie of 1984. Period.

This is a classic 80's Movie with terrific characters and hilarious moments.

Perfect 80's movie depicting The Jocks vs. The Nerds - all stereotypes included. An early example of Nerd Power, this movie has a lot of super-iffy scenes and concepts, but remains a fun watch if you keep it in the context of the time.

When you could joke about everything without the snowflakes crying about it!

Very funny Animal House style sophomoric humor. I liked the over the top acting and ridiculous stereotypes. If you like mindless adolescent humor you will love this flick.

This was an entertaining, funny humorous film. It's both good at making you feel sympathy anger and laugh at the same time. Honestly it feels like a sort of slave story in a way where in this case the Nerds are the slaves while the jocks are the owners but mixed with funny humor that would probably make anyone laugh. With that being said great film definitely a memorable 80s film.

"Revenge of the Nerds" has its fair share of funny moments and John Goodman in one of his first roles, its '80s vibe is largely enjoyable, and its anti-bullying message, which culminates in a rousing reappropriation of the word "nerd", is certainly positive, if occasionally a little on the nose. However, it is also full of stereotypes and caricatures, sometimes to the point of racism, and includes several grating scenes of actionable sexual harassment, which is just shrugged off and normalized.

This is definitely a cult classic that is of its time, but can still be enjoyed and laughed at today. This is definitely a great underdog story filled with comedy and fun.
