Get out your white socks! This time our suave college heroes hit the road for fun and fraternity in Florida. Another opportunity for brains to triumph over brawn. How can the girls possibly resist their geeky charms? Written by Craig Clarke <clarkec@topaz.cqu.edu.au>
This movie is very typical of sequels of earlier years. Back in the day sequels would typically do less business than the original film so for the sequel not much effort is really taken to build upon the films. This film has the nerds going to an event in a nice resort town and of course they are once again picked on, because the popular people just have nothing better to do than harass these few guys instead of drinking and partying. Of course, there is revenge to be had, but not as much revenge this time for the nerds, they take way more bumps in this one and dish out a whole lot less pain this time around. They get stuck in a dump, they get fooled by what they perceive as a sacrifice in a scene that they should be the ones to come up with not the jock types, and they get dumped off on a deserted island. The poor guys do not get to do much other than punch a person this time. The thing they did with Ogre is stupid at the end and once again Booger just does not seem to fit with the nerds as he once again comes across as a guy who is going to be in a regular fraternity and being the cut up. He meets a man in this one that sort of mentors him. Like I said, there is not really a whole lot of revenge of the nerds in this one, they did a whole lot more in the first movie to get back at their tormentors. They are also a nerd down as Anthony Edwards does not return, but they pick up another one to take his place. The next film in this series would go straight to television which is almost worst than direct to video, and thankfully there has yet to be a remake of this franchise that started out with a few laughs, but quickly downgraded with this entry.
