Geeky college students Gilbert (Anthony Edwards) and Lewis (Robert Carradine) are evicted from their dormitory when the Alpha Betas -- who recently burned down their own fraternity house by accident -- confiscate the building.

When the Alpha Betas, led by jock Stan (Ted McGinley), repeatedly humiliate them, the nerds plot revenge.

I wish I was as cool as these nerds!
If this is really what happens when "nerds" go to college, I want to enroll!

Lewis and Gilbert think things will be different when they show up to attend Atoms College. Unfortunately, the football jocks and the cheerleaders have some immature fun at the expense of the nerds.

Never fear, however, the nerds devise a plan to get even and ultimately win a seat on the Greek counsel in an attempt to change opinions around the college.

Much of the film is raunchy, immature humor with a lot of 80s nudity thrown in; however, some of the characters are down right hilarious and many of the scenes are very funny. It is still one of my go to 80s comedy gems.

Solid Fun
A fraternity of nerds decide to exact revenge on the jocks that are constantly tormenting them. It's nerds getting revenge. Revenge of the Nerds. A title that says, "Don't think about it. Just enjoy it."

It's tiring watching these nerds get abused constantly. After a constant barrage of douchery by the jocks, you feel empowered when the nerds FINALLY decide to rise up. Everything that happens leading up to that is somewhat frustrating. It throws off the tone a bit for me. You're supposed to be laughing, but you can't help but feel bad for these guys.

Before I venture any further, this has to be said: Lamar (Larry B. Scott) is the absolute best. He was, by far, the scene stealer of the movie. I love characters that can make you crack up with just a few words and mannerisms. He won me over well before the classic limp javelin scene.

That scene is one of quite a few hilarious moments throughout Revenge. When the nerds are together, you never know what will transpire as they all have different personalities and come from different walks of life. Booger (Curtis Armstrong) is a disgusting pig of an outcast who got his name honestly. Takashi (Brian Tochi) speaks bad English and knows little about American culture. Their interaction during a game of cards produced a scene to remember. "What the fuck is a frush?"

It doesn't take long for you to get behind all of these characters and root for their success. And while I can't quite label it as a classic, Revenge of the Nerds is definitely one I can watch multiple times. The plot is implausible and it reaches in parts, but what it lacks in certain areas it makes up for with a solid message that hits on how we should treat people that aren't the same as us.

Liked it, didn't love it. I give it a solid 72.
