Revenge of the Nerds is a 1984 American one-act pic directed by Jeff Kanew and starring Robert Carradine, Anthony Edwards, Ted McGinley, and Bernie Casey. [5] The film's plot chronicles a group of nerds at the fictional Adams Higher trying to stop the ongoing harassment by the jock fraternity, the Alpha Betas, in addition to the latter's sister sorority, Pi Delta Pi.

Plot [ edit ]

Best friends and nerds Lewis Skolnick and Gilbert Lowe enroll in Adams College to study computer scientific discipline. The Alpha Betas, a fraternity that includes most of the Adams football team, carelessly fire their ain house and, urged past Coach Harris, accept over the freshman dorms, literally throwing the freshmen out into the street. Dean Ulich designates temporary living space in the gymnasium and allows the freshmen to rush the fraternities. Lewis, Gilbert, and several other nerds neglect to join fraternities, but are able to secure a dilapidated firm most campus and repair it as a residence.

The Alpha Betas, led by star quarterback Stan Gable, are irked by the nerds' success, and Stan sets his fellow members to pull pranks against the nerds, which includes throwing a rock through the window proverb "Nerds, become out". The nerds try to get campus police force to assistance, but the campus cops are constrained past the Greek Quango that adjudicates all such pranks, of which Stan is currently president. The nerds decide to seek membership on the Greek Council by joining a national fraternity. After 29 rejection letters, the only one that considers them is the blackness fraternity Lambda Lambda Lambda (Tri-Lambs), led by U.N. Jefferson. Jefferson is about to refuse ("Later on all, you're nerds.") when a fine-print-reading nerd points out that Tri-Lamb bylaws require him to requite the nerds a probationary catamenia. The nerds fix a big party with the Omega Mu sorority, similarly fabricated up of nerds, including Gilbert'south girlfriend Judy, and invite Jefferson to attend. The party is tedious until Booger provides them with high quality marijuana. The Alpha Betas and the Pi Delta Pis, the sorority to which Stan'south girlfriend Betty Childs belongs, then disrupt the party by bringing and releasing pigs. The nerds exact revenge on both groups by pulling similar pranks. Impressed with the nerds' tenacity, Jefferson grants them full membership.

The nerds then appeal to the Council, but Gable is dismissive. The nerds realize the simply mode to go the Council to help is to put one of their own in as president, which they can do by winning the Greek Games during homecoming. Partnering with the Omega Mus and using their extensive knowledge, the Tri-Lambs compete strongly with the Alpha Betas/Pi Delta Pis during the athletic events. At the clemency fundraiser, the nerds heavily outsell the Blastoff Betas by offering pies with naked pictures of Betty and other Pi Delta Pis on the bottom. During this, Lewis, who has fallen in dearest with Betty, steals Stan'southward costume and tricks Betty into engaging in sexual intercourse with him. Though surprised when Lewis reveals his identity, she admits he was "wonderful". Finally, the nerds dominate the musical competition with a techno-computer-driven musical production, winning the overall games. Lewis immediately nominates Gilbert as the new Council president.

Double-decker Harris lambastes the Alpha Betas for losing to the nerds, and Stan leads them in vandalizing the Tri-Lamb firm. The nerds become despondent, and Gilbert decides to barge into the middle of the Homecoming Pep Rally to address his complaints. The Alpha Betas try to end him, merely Jefferson and a group of national Tri-Lambs go far to intimidate the Alpha Betas, giving Gilbert the opportunity to requite a rousing speech about continuing up to bigotry. Lewis and the other Tri-Lambs, many alumni, and Betty, who announces she is "in love with a nerd", join in cheering Gilbert, soundly shaming the Alpha Betas. An emboldened Dean Ulich instructs Bus Harris that the Tri-Lambs will at present live in the Alpha Beta house, while the Alpha Betas will alive in the gym until they can repair the Tri-Lamb house.

Reception [ edit ]

Critical response [ edit ]

Revenge of the Nerds was panned by reviewers at release. Lawrence van Gelder for The New York Times wrote "It is the absence of genuine one-act that exposes glaringly the film's key attitude of condescension and scorn toward blacks and women, and a tendency toward stereotyping that clashes violently with its superficial message of tolerance, compassion and fair play." [8] The Hollywood Reporter said "Revenge of the Nerds is primarily the story of outcasts getting their only rewards, and that is always a satisfying movie ingredient. Even so, this scattergun, often scatological film is filled with extensive racial stereotypes, which may offend some moviegoers." [9]

Box office [ edit ]

Revenge of the Nerds was released in theaters on July twenty, 1984. [10] It grossed $40 million domestically. [three]

[16]

Controversy [ edit ]

About three decades later on the film's release, commentators have looked back at the film and considered some of the scenes, particularly when Lewis pretends to be Stan and has a sexual see with Betty, to be rape past deception and a misogynistic remnant of a male-dominated culture of that time. [17] William Bradley of The Mary Sue stated that after viewing the moving picture again as an developed he "was immediately struck by the way the motion-picture show plays sexual exploitation and assault for laughs". [eighteen] Amy Benfer of Salon wrote that the Revenge of the Nerds scene, and a like scene in John Hughes' Sixteen Candles , were evidence that at the time of these films' productions, "people were stupid about date rape". [19] In an interview with GQ in 2019, director Jeff Kanew and writer Steve Zacharias expressed their regret regarding the rape by deception scene, with Kanew saying, "In a way, it's not excusable. If it were my daughter, I probably wouldn't like it". [twenty] [21]
