Two friends Gilbert(Edwards) and Poindexter(Carradine) go to college expecting that things will have changed since High School, however what they find is different when the jocks (led by Married...With Children's Ted McGinley and Bloodsport's Donald Gibb) decide to pull mean pranks on our lovable nerds, of course this is college and the nerds band together to start a fraternity and in the process wage war on the jocks, in which many pranks ensue in this ultimately hilarious comedy which has aged fairly well. The main reason why Revenge Of The Nerds works and why it's sequels don't is that, we want to see these nerds prevail and see the jocks get their comeuppance. In that regard this makes it essential to anybody who was picked on in high school for being dorky. (You all know who you are.) 4/5 Matt Bronson
