The jocks begin to make life miserable for the nerds, but revenge is on its way. It's engaging, hysterically funny at times, wildly satiric, and has fewer lapses of good taste than most. Close Ad. Nonetheless, this scattergun , often scatological film is filled with extensive racial stereotypes, which may offend some moviegoers. Despite their glee for the computer program, the school unceremoniously moves them from their freshman dorms to make room for a fraternity of rowdy football players who have accidentally burned their house down.
So the two, with numerous other nerds from the dorm, are left to camp out in the gym. They are an inept and ineffectual group, and as scripted by Steve Zacharias and Jeff Buhai include just about every nerdish stereotype imaginable: a gullible Oriental, a gay black, a sallow-cheeked violinist and a belcher. What follows is a flotsam of rowdy, collegiate high jinks directed against the nerds.
A lot of semi-violent, cartoonish practical jokes and retaliation: jocks trash nerds' house, nerds sprinkle stinging chemical on jocks' jocks, jocks drop nerd off rooftop, etc.
Lots of making out and heavy petting scenes; full female nudity; partial male nudity in a mooning scene ; voyeurism; sexual intercourse assumed but not shown. Parents need to know that students binge drink, and smoke cigarettes and pot in this R-rated college movie.
There's a strong emphasis on "getting laid" throughout the film, which includes scenes in which students make out and engage in heavy petting. The panty raid scene includes full female nudity, and the frat boys expose their bare behinds in a mooning scene.
The nerds install hidden video cams in a sorority house so they can watch them undress. Profanity isn't excessive, but a few bad words and suggestive phrases are uttered. There's no bloody violence, but much of the story line centers on getting revenge. There are many stereotypes targeting Asians, gays, fat girls, and more.
The story shows the unfair treatment of people considered outsiders, and in the end, emphasizes the acceptance of outsiders. Add your rating See all 6 parent reviews.

Nerds unite in this hilarious comedy about college freshmen Gilbert Anthony Edwards and Lewis Robert Carradine , who find themselves in a battle against a jock-filled fraternity.
After the jocks take over the freshman dorms, Gilbert, Lewis and a rag-tag group of genius outcasts decide to form their own fraternity. Led by insolent buffoon, Stan Ted McGinley , the jocks of Alpha Beta fraternity and their sister sorority try everything they can to ensure the nerds are not granted fraternity status.
Pushed to the breaking point, the nerds resort to desperate measures to get back at the jocks and their sister sorority. The nerds turn peeping tom and install hidden video cameras so they can watch naked women and a nerd wearing a mask pretends to be Stan so he can have sex with Stan's girlfriend, among other sneaky modes of revenge.
But there's something decidedly different here: the nerds are really nice guys, which gives this film a more heartwarming vibe. While the story has heart and Gilbert, Lewis, and the rest of the nerds are likable, this film is definitely "college kids gone wild. While the nerds use their smarts to get back at the jocks, they also cheat in a competition. None of the characters are shown studying or attending classes.
Stereotypes abound, and there's rampant bad behavior, sure, but there's a strong positive message about acceptance to enjoy, too. Unlike the protagonists in Animal House , the heroes in this film are sweet, smart guys who just want to be treated with the respect they deserve. Families can talk about the struggles that the nerds faced against the jocks. Why do you think certain groups of people label other groups as uncool outcasts?
Who did you associate with more -- the jock-frat boys, or the nerds -- and why? Generally favorable reviews based on 17 Ratings.
