Revenge of the Nerds - 1984 ***

 
Gilbert and Lewis are nerds, of that there is no doubt. Initially dismayed when their fraternity house is burnt down they perk up temporarily when they are relocated to a run down building which they decide to redecorate. The Alpha Betas (the pair's opposing gang) are furious that the nerds are making their own rules and enjoying themselves and decide to humiliate them regardless of the consequences. But the nerds are ready this time.
Quite a funny film, goes alongside the typical 1980s jock/nerd type films as well as the consensus in American film that you can only get the girl if you are completely without any character defects whatsoever. Predictable.
