8/10
Revenge of the Nerds...a new generation.

OK; I don't get all the negative reviews here. I will list what I did and did not like about this film. Being that I am a HUGE Robert Carradine fan, I was pleased as punch to see him reprise his role as Lewis Skolnick. You can replace a lot of actors in a lot of roles but not this one; Mr. Carradine owns it and nobody could ever do what he's done with this character. I also liked seeing Julia Montgomery back in her role as Betty and Curtis Armstrong as Booger. I didn't care for the "new generation" of nerds. Toyota is just a bad ripoff of Booger, I don't understand that Edith character at all and the character of Harold Skolnick seriously lacked the charm of the original nerds. I liked how Stan Gable finally came to understand who he is and to embrace himself; seems like he finally learned how to take responsibility for his own life. All in all, this was a cute movie but it did not have the charm of the original or the first sequel. My favorite part was the end when the original nerds came back to support Lewis. The actor who played Gilbert bore a striking similarity to Anthony Edwards. I would love to see another ROTN come out; perhaps with Lewis and Betty's son now at Adam's College? I would watch that most definitely!!!
