Es una de mis favoritas, no sólo comedia sino de todos los tiempos. Difícilmente podría ser replicada (aunque no dudo que lo intentaran). Es un reflejo de su tiempo y aunque el tipo de humor es sencillo y vulgar (para algunos) es simplemente adorable. Una película a la que volveré siempre.

I enjoyed this movie quite a lot. I think it has a lot to do.. my hate for bullies.. I fucking hate bullies. Performances are not note worthy, but there are a lot of funny moments to keep the viewer entertained.

Gross, stupid, offensive, creepy, sexist. Among other things. Don't let your personality be easily categorized by others. Entertain a little bit of everything and learn from it. Be a better person. "Revenge of the Nerds" is so close-minded and unfunny, it'd be just as unwatchable if all the bullying and rape here didn't hit so close to home as issues everyone still ignores today.
Fuck, fuck, fuck this movie. Fuck it.

Likeable comedy that doesn't quite deserve it's status of '80's classic, but is populated with enough humor and agreeable characters that it becomes undemanding entertainment.

Nnnnnerds! This still plays really well with a bunch of friends. Of course the stereotypes are ridiculous and overused, but it's amusing. Curtis "Booger" Armstrong is a hero for the ages. Also, there's a robot! And John Goodman!

REVENGE OF THE NERDS ages extremely well. Hilarious, sweet and insanely fun.

There's varying levels of Sexism, Racism and Homophobia in this film and I can't decide if it was poorly judged or just a product of the 80's. Fuck me, there's a scene where someone pretends to be someone else and, technically, sexually assaults someone.
I never really felt that this massive rivalry ever actually started. There was some undeserved shitty behaviour from the Alpha Betas and then a low prank from the Tri-Lambdas and that was it. Suddenly that was enough for them full rivals.Warning; contains a horrible, horrible "music" performance.

No recordaba cuanta incorreción politica hacia los asiáticos, gays y gente de color había en esta cinta.

a campus comedy classic where our heroic nerds take on the mean and evil jocks. And win.
I love a college comedy and if its made and/or set in the 80s i'm powerless to resist. This isn't quite Animal House (a film iv'e loved since I was far too young to watch it) but its definitely up there.
Also Booger looks a lot like Licence To Ill era MCA.

Chuckles, jocks, frat house shenanigans, tunes, boobs and nerds. A cocktail of hilarious 80s goodness.

Okay, the cast is just perfect. Every nerd gets a moment or two to shine, and some of the stuff they get into is hilarious. The panty raid is great, as is them staying up all night watching the girls later get naked. McGinley and Goodman are great as the bad guys. Montgomery is so wicked gorgeous here.
And I loved the music scene. It's historic!

A movie from my youth that I still thankfully love today. So many memorable moments and one-liners.
