Revenge of the Nerds

Of all the collage movies that have been made over the years very few have made such an impression that they are remembered fondly. This movie made the point that all people are alike in one way or another, and every single one of us has a little nerd inside that is just trying to come out. When this film came out there wasn't much hope for it being a hit, but once the audience got a taste it became as big a hit as Animal House was years earlier. However, if this movie were shot today the nerds would have pulled out automatic rifles and shot all the jocks while they were at the Homecoming Rally. But this is a comedy and most of us can look back at those times in our lives when there was some one that picked on us or we picked on them and laugh about the times when life was easy and carefree.When a pair of boys go to collage and are ridiculed for being nerds, they join forces with other nerds on campus to fight against the jocks and show what they're really made of. This movie showed that with a little ingenuity brains would triumph over brawn every single time. The scenes that are set up for the movie are, in most cases, to the extreme and wouldn't be allowed on any collage campus but the situations here are so funny you just don't care if they're real or not. Of all the actors, the shining star here is that of Anthony Edwards, who is better known for his role in the TV series E.R., but here shows the comedic side of his talent and with the help of the other nerd actors pull off some of the best sight gags on film.
I've been watching this film for years and no matter how many times I see it the laughs just never get old. There were three sequels done in this franchise but unfortunately the first movie is the best and the only one worth watching, the sequels just get dumber and dumber as they go on. If you've never seen this 80s classic its definitely a must see, you'll laugh so hard milk will come out your nose and that's even if your drinking Pepsi.
