Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise (1987)

To me, this movie is perfection.

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

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.

This movie is very typical of sequels of earlier years. Back in the day sequels would typically do less business than the original film so for the sequel not much effort is really taken to build upon the films. This film has the nerds going to an event in a nice resort town and of course they are once again picked on, because the popular people just have nothing better to do than harass these few guys instead of drinking and partying. Of course, there is revenge to be had, but not as much revenge this time for the nerds, they take way more bumps in this one and dish out a whole lot less pain this time around. They get stuck in a dump, they get fooled by what they perceive as a sacrifice in a scene that they should be the ones to come up with not the jock types, and they get dumped off on a deserted island. The poor guys do not get to do much other than punch a person this time. The thing they did with Ogre is stupid at the end and once again Booger just does not seem to fit with the nerds as he once again comes across as a guy who is going to be in a regular fraternity and being the cut up. He meets a man in this one that sort of mentors him. Like I said, there is not really a whole lot of revenge of the nerds in this one, they did a whole lot more in the first movie to get back at their tormentors. They are also a nerd down as Anthony Edwards does not return, but they pick up another one to take his place. The next film in this series would go straight to television which is almost worst than direct to video, and thankfully there has yet to be a remake of this franchise that started out with a few laughs, but quickly downgraded with this entry.

Revenge of the Nerds 2: Nerds in Paradise is a horrible sequel. The only redeeming qualities is the sound track featuring Pseudo Echo's cover of "Funky Town", and .38 Special's "Take Me Back To Paradise". And though it was fun and somewhat nostalgic to see our favorite nerds again, the script was just awful, and the plot exceedingly thin.This was clearly made for the sake of making the studio money. I had thought that it was a rushed sequel, as the script was so bad. However, this film was put out three years after the original, allowing for plenty of time for a quality plot and script to be developed. Like its contemporaries such as the Police Academy series, this sequel just lets the audience down and was unfortunately continued after this horrible train wreck.
