n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Robert Carradine, Curtis Armstrong, Timothy Busfield, Larry B. Scott, Courteney Thorne-Smith, Donald Gibb, Bradley Whitford and Anthony Edwards star in this 1987 comedy sequel. This entry has nerds, Lewis (Carradine), Booger (Armstrong), Poindexter (Busfield) and Lamar (Scott) traveling to Fort Lauderdale, Florida for a convention to represent Adams College fraternity, Lambda Lambda Lambda. Whitford (Billy Madison) plays Roger, the Chapter President of the Alpha Beta fraternity who tries to get them expelled by framing them, but underestimates them when they decide to fight back. Smith (Summer School) plays Sunny, a hotel clerk who finds romance with Lewis, Gibb (Bloodsport) returns as Alpha Beta member, Ogre who eventually joins the Nerds and Edwards (Top Gun) also returns briefly as Lewis' pal, Gilbert. I grew up watching this sequel and always enjoyed it almost as much as the original. The cast is great and I recommend this.

Revenge Of The Nerds II Nerds In Paradise may not a comedy classic like it's predecessor Revenge Of The Nerds but it's still an enjoyable movie to watch.This time our nerd heroes must once again fight back against their most hated enemy. Robert Carradine's character Lewis grows up quite a bit and stands up for his fraternity brothers.Curtis Armstrong is as always his funny self when playing nose picker Booger his character is more hilarious, he says some great lines in the film. A year has passed since a group of intelligent and awkward young men banded together to form a fraternity to fight back against the Alpha Betas. They succeeded in their battle of brains vs. brawn guaranteeing nerd freedom, Now Lewis (Carradine) and his friends Wormser (Cassese), Pointdexter (Busfield), Lamar (Scott) & Booger (Armstrong) are about to represent Adams College at a united fraternity conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.Once there they are prosecuted and picked on again by another chapter of the Alpha Betas run by Roger Latimore (Whitford). Sunny Carstairs (Smith) a hotel employee befriends the nerdy gang and falls in love with Lewis.Towards the end after being marooned on an island the boys find military equipment and using an army tank they head back to the conference to confront Roger and his group with the help of Ogre (Gibb) who becomes a member of the Lambda Lambdas after being kicked out of the Alphas.This film may not be a laugh fest but certainly provides very little humour and memorable quotes.

A terribly silly but awfully amusing little sequel, it may be a touch predictable, and it is missing Thomas Newman's excellent theme song, but having the same likable characters on hand helps it to be equally as fun as the first film. Some of the jokes are really hilarious, and arguably I would say that it is funnier than the first film. I would not definitely call it better, but it is certainly at least on the same level, with an interesting charm radiating from the nerdy characters. And there is another song to take the place of Tom Newman's ditty: an amusing little number called "No on Fifteen". The film seems to get a lot of negative feedback, but I cannot agree - it may not be a great film, like the first, but it is by all means amusing, like the first.

I may be in the minority, but I loved this film. I loved the original as well. The sequel has plenty of laughs, and many occur during understated moments. The nerds' arrival at their one-star hotel, the Hotel Coral Essex, was hilarious to me. Who among us hasn't found ourselves in less-than-desirable accommodations at one time or another? From the chickens roaming inside, to the un-swimmable pool, to the Peep Show establishment sharing the building, this is the embodiment of everyone's vacation nightmare, a la "National Lampoon's Vacation", but even more so. The Cuban-American front desk clerk-- and her fervent love of Ricky Ricardo-- was a real treat. Those who did not laugh at these moments are likely those who are less experienced in life. I enjoyed the Florida "stereotypes" (which were not all insulting -- Sunny was a nice, typical Florida girl), having traveled there myself, as well as the blast-from-the-past 1980s setting/filming. The stereotype of the flamboyantly gay man in Lamar's character was enjoyable and humorous to me, and I hope other viewers saw it in the "light" way that it was meant to be taken, as well. I also hope that other viewers were not offended in any way by the portrayal of the African American chapter of Tri-Lambda, because I found them to be the *most* upstanding characters in both this film and the original. I would have liked to see those characters featured in even more scenes. While the absence of Gilbert on the trip was a little disappointing, it was great to see him for a few moments here and there. Lewis carried the other scenes perfectly well by himself. With his sensitive nature and good looks beneath his "nerd" costuming, it is not too much of a stretch to imagine beautiful yet emotionally mature and smart ladies like Sunny falling in love with Lewis. Finally (POSSIBLE SPOILER? ALERT!), I couldn't have asked for a happier ending than the conversion of one of the Alpha Betas. Some extra features on the DVD (such as outtakes, interviews, cast biographies, etc.) would have been welcomed / appreciated, but one can't have everything, I guess!
