Revenge of the Nerds IV: Nerds In Love (1994)

Load of rubbish!!

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Revenge Of The Nerds IV Nerds In Love isn't as popular or as hilarious as the first film but it manages to provide some laughs and a proper ending. I saw it on DVD 3 years ago when I bought Revenge Of The Nerds The Atomic Wedgie Collection, after viewing all four films I found this one to be a letdown compared to the first movie.Of all the nerds to get married besides Lewis I was surprised that Booger was the next groom to be, over the years he's enjoyed many women but meeting the right girl changes everything. One of my complaints about the film is that the characters of Gilbert, Wormser & Pointdexter portrayed by Anthony Edwards, Andrew Cassese & Timothy Busfield were absent again.The nerdy gang is back in this funny & final instalment of the series. Love is in the air as Booger Dawson (Armstrong) is about to marry his Omega Mu girlfriend Jeanie (Bohrer) on Valentine's Day. But when his friends Lewis (Carradine), his wife Betty (Montgomery), Lamar (Scott), Takashi(Tochi), Ogre (Gibb), Stan (McGinley) and the rest of the gang arrive their outrageous party style drive away the bride to be's dignified guests.Even Aaron Humphrey (Bologna) Booger's father in law and republican nominee isn't thrilled about a nerd joining his family so he requires the help of his snobby son in law Chip (Davies) and a private detective to help stop the wedding. Meanwhile Lewis is awaiting the arrival of his first child and Betty is near the end of the last trimester as the big day approaches.Trouble arises when during the bridal shower Chip informs everyone that Booger fathered a child 12 years ago when he was a teenager, he declares that this accusation has nothing to do with that but with the fact that he's a nerd. So it's up to his friends to save the day and set things straight once more, I loved the food fight scene ,seeing Ogre get thrown across the table and hitting the pies upon impact.The wedding day arrives soon Chip's lie falls apart when the girl admits that he got her from an orphanage and that she's not really his daughter. Everyone including Jeanie's sister Gaylord (Tuck)throws Chip out, leaving him to swear his own revenge against the nerds, during the ceremony Betty goes into labour and gives birth to a healthy baby boy. Booger & Jeanie are married, they plan to start their family by adopting the orphan girl.Revenge Of The Nerds IV Nerds In Love isn't a comedy classic but it manages to make people laugh.

This time the gang of nerds get together to help throw a wedding for Booger in what ranks as the best sequel although that isn't saying very much as this has all been watered down by television standards. Indeed I went in with such low expectations after the disastrous third entry that this one comes as a vast improvement. It feels very much like a television movie and on the basis of rating this against other television sequels such as Problem Child 3 and The Birds II, this is vastly superior to a short lived genre made in the mid-90's. Still the movie doesn't contain a lot of inspired humor, it's more surprising that we find ourselves actually getting involved with the characters because there are actually a few tender moments, which actually work. Of course the main problem lies in the fact that basically everybody in this movie are too old and it's basically lost all the zip that the original contained, but if you loved the first entry (As I did) this one will have it's appeal. Although my 2 star rating is out of sheer nostalgia.

Just finished watching this film and I think it's going to be extremely hard to replace Curtis Armstrong as Booger when they remake the original.It was a big improvement over Nerds III, and I think a lot better than Nerds in Paradise.One of the downsides for me was seeing OGRE as a watered down version of his old self he even gets picked up by two guys and thrown onto the table during the food fight scene!It was obviously easy cash for Donald Gibb the actor who has since made a beer named after his character from these films,and hey good on him if they threw money at me just to cruise through a film with hardly anything to do but be there I'd take it too!Booger married?Who wouldve thought it? Live on the Nerds, its really not as bad a movie as some previous reviewers think.Fans of the series will definitely appreciate it more than anyone else

This film is a SMALL step downwards from the other "Nerds" flicks. However, it is still pretty funny. Booger is getting married! Of all the Nerds I expected to wed, Booger was last! So....the happy bride is the (MU) daughter of an up-and-coming politician. The father obviously can't let his daughter marry a NERD! There are attempts to torpedo the wedding and Nerd-ly attempts to keep it going. Nearly all the previous Nerds are back and are as good as ever! I love the entire Nerds series and this one was only slightly less good than the others! Rent this sucker today!
