 | A truly perfect movie, the 1984 Revenge of the Nerts still wows viewers today, and for good reason. Generally acknowledged as a bona fide classic, this Jeff Kanew film is one of those rare experiences that feels perfectly right from beginning to end--almost as if everyone involved had been born to participate in it. Starring Robert Carradine as the nerd leader Louis with his devoted sidekick Gilbert played by a young Anthony Edwards. Larry Scott was amazing as the gay nerd Lamar and who could forget Curtis Armstrong's performance as the lovable Dudley "Booger" Dawson.
This is the sort of film that looks back on a life and says the battle was its own reward, not the glory. The Tri-Battle for their rightful position at Adams College is truly uplifting. Carradine is very moving as a boy who becomes a man and watches his world change, often in unexpected ways, through painful determination. |

| I just bought the DVD version of this movie, looking forward to seeing the complete picture in widescreen format. When I compared the DVD to my old VHS copy, I found the DVD does not have any more picture on the sides, rather the tape has more picture on top and bottom. So, did the VHS tape include a matted-off portion of the original negative, or did they take a pan-and-scan version and simply cut off the top and bottom to make a "wide-screen" DVD version of the movie?

| 80s sex comedies are some of the most enjoyable guilty pleasures ever made. I grew up with HBO, so I got to see many of them time and time again. My parents had designated the television as my babysitter, so I was able to watch all of these raunchy movies undetected. Porky's is probably the king of this genre, but my personal favorite without a doubt is Revenge Of The Nerds. You watch this film and think, "How in the hell could a person not like this movie?" It's funny, sexy, pointless, and it gives the underdog the opportunity to sleep with the cheerleader. Who can forget Booger at the belching contest, the panty raid on the sorority, Ogre, the Liquid Heat in the jocks, Poindexter smoking a joint or the catchy rap tune that wins them the talent contest? If you grew up in the 80s these are classic moments you'll never forget. Plot? Well, Nerds Vs. Jocks on a college campus, that's about all. Who needs plot in these kinds of films? Highly, highly, highly recommended. Part 2? Well, one trend I remember in the 80s was PG-13 sequels to successful R-rated films. If the sequel is PG-13, it's just common knowledge it isn't gonna be as good coz rather than living up to the first film or trying to go beyond, it's automatically watered down due to the rating. The police acedemy movies suffered the same fate, yet they did have their moments. Porky's always remained true though. Nerds 2 isn't a terrible movie, and it sure has it's share of laughs, but it was a doomed project from the getgo. Besides, it's a nice little bonus considering you're probably buying this dvd for the first film anyway. Buy it, Relive it, Enjoy it! |

| John Goodman is king. This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Dirty, raunchy, and completely unsuitable for teenage viewing, this movie makes it fun to remember what it was like when comedies actually contained full frontal female nudity! The locker room speech by John Goodman is one of the funniest things I have ever heard. BUY THIS MOVIE NOW! P.S. "What is hairpie?" or "Step Aside Mama, I Wanna See Some of That Muff".
