Revenge of the Nerds IV: Nerds in Love

I just watched the fourth installment in the Nerds series and I must say that I wasn't disapointed. Many of the actors from previous films are brought back and definatly revive the film, I was shocked to see James Cromwell in this. Booger and the gang are back!!

This time the gang of nerds get together to help throw a wedding for Booger in what ranks as the best sequel although that isn't saying very much as this has all been watered down by television standards. Indeed I went in with such low expectations after the disastrous third entry that this one comes as a vast improvement. It feels very much like a television movie and on the basis of rating this against other television sequels such as Problem Child 3 and The Birds II, this is vastly superior to a short lived genre made in the mid-90's. Still the movie doesn't contain a lot of inspired humor, it's more surprising that we find ourselves actually getting involved with the characters because there are actually a few tender moments, which actually work. Of course the main problem lies in the fact that basically everybody in this movie are too old and it's basically lost all the zip that the original contained, but if you loved the first entry (As I did) this one will have it's appeal. Although my 2 star rating is out of sheer nostalgia.

Revenge of the Nerds IV (1994) was the final straw in the "nerds" series. Now this movie is too bad for words. It's so bad that it makes part two a joy to behold. I don't know why they even bothered with a fourth film. I highly doubt the third movie was a "huge" ratings winner (remember, this is the FOX network). The gang is back (for the most part) and there's gonna be a wedding.

'nuff said!

Bad movie that doesn't warrant any further discussion. Except that I advise you not to watch it. Unless you love the entire series as a whole (I know that there are several people out there how do). Others need not apply.

Let's hope this will be the last film.

After viewing all the films in the nerd series I'd have to say that Revenge Of The Nerds IV Nerds In Love is a lame yet decent conclusion to the popular franchise. It was nice to see some of the original cast from the 1st and 3rd movie return there was some funny moments and cute romance but it lacked the raunchy jokes and hilarious pranks that made the 1984 classic a success. This is a made for TV film so it had to be made appropriate for younger viewers.

In the final story of the nerd saga Dudley Booger Dawson (Armstrong) is about to marry his rich Omega Mu girlfriend Jeanie (Bohrer) on Valentine's Day however his father in law to be Aaron Humphrey isn't thrilled about a nerd joining the family as he thinks it could ruin his chances of getting into politics.When his friends Lewis, his wife Betty, Lamar, Takashi, Ogre, Stan Gable, Lewis's nephew Harold & his friends arrive their partying style drive the bride's more dignified guests away. Intent on stopping the wedding he enlists the help of his snobby son in law Chip (Davies) and a private investigator. In another plot Lewis & Betty are awaiting the arrival of their unborn son and Betty is near the end of her pregnancy as the big day approaches.

At the wedding shower Chip announces that Booger fathered a daughter out of wedlock with a young woman years ago from Sandusky Ohio, of course it's a lie to prevent the happy couple from going down the aisle. So the nerdy gang will have to fight once again to prove that even someone who's different deserves to be loved. The wedding day arrives, as the ceremony begins Betty goes into labour and Chip's deception is revealed when Heidi admits the truth that she's not his daughter and was drafted from an orphanage. Everyone including Jeanie's sister Gaylord (Tuck) throws him out for good, Aaron then apologizes to Booger and his friends for his behaviour and gives his blessings.

By the end of the film Booger & Jeanie are married and plan to adopt Heidi, Lewis & Betty have a healthy baby boy. The final scene shows the newlyweds sitting with their friends, and Lewis says "It's gonna be a great year" the same line he used in the first movie.

for fans who enjoy silly laughs watch Revenge Of The Nerds IV Nerds In Love

Revenge of the nerds part 4 is the greatest film I have ever seen. It is like looking into the face of god and having him say "You are my most wonderous creation.". The movie is so perfect it is beyond human comprehension and should be viewed as such (additionally pregnant women and viewers with heart conditions should not watch). For those who say Booger and the gang's antics are trivial, moronic, confounding and beyond the limits of good taste should move to Canada! I will end with something to think about, Revenge of the Nerds 5, dare I say?
