Revenge of the Nerds shows more than enough smarts to deserve a passing grade.
"Nerds" is erratic -- more gags work than don't, but more situations don't work than do. There are some great throwaway lines. [10 Aug. 1984, p.23]
Revenge of the Nerds has some very funny moments and sturdy premise, but the revenge, when it comes, is not nearly as definitive as even the non-nerds in the audience would hope for. [25 July 1984]
Largely devoted to whatever laughs may be coaxed from the sound of a freshman belching and the sight of some mighty mature-looking coeds removing their blouses. There's some nose-picking, too, but not enough to save the picture. [20 July 1984, p.D6]

Let's just admit it, people. Revenge of the Nerds worked when our time was 1984 and we were at the theaters watching this. Now, for a film like this, it's left as a plain dated movie only watched by people who wants to enjoy movies like this when they think about nostalgia.
