A Vingança dos Nerds 4: Os Nerds Também Amam

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.

I bought the "atomic wedgie" edition of Revenge of the Nerds, it had all the sequels in it, so I watched Revenge of the Nerds 2 and 3 today before the fourth one, and I was actually surprised. Despite their bad rating, I really enjoyed them, sure they weren't as good as the first, but they had their laughs. So I was looking forward to Revenge of the Nerds IV: Nerds in Love, because I figured that if I liked the other sequels, I would like this one, but it turned out to be different. Despite the fact that there were a couple of laughs, for the most part this was just a recycled story that really didn't work or click as well as the other stories did.

Booger is finally settling down, that's right, the perverted nose picker is tying the knot. Now he's not just marrying some girl, but she comes from a very important and rich family where her father is involved in politics. But her father and brother in-law absolutely hate Booger on site and are anti-nerd. So naturally they want to ruin the wedding by getting some dirt on Booger. But his friends, including best man, Lewis, are determined to make sure that everything goes smoothly and give the father and brother in-law a new perspective on nerds in love.

Revenge of the Nerds IV: Nerds in Love isn't the worst movie on Earth, but it's just the worst movie in the Nerds series, so I really wouldn't recommend it. It just wasn't needed since the story was so bland and reused from the other films, if it was completely different, it might have worked, but it was just the same jokes. However I did laugh a couple times still, I can't help it, these guys do crack me up, so I'm going to be kind with my rating, at least I think it is with how much of a waste of a good story was on this sequel.

2/10

This movie is not as good as one and two but a real better than three. This had a couple of laughs. This was a movie that started of funny and then boring. The ending was predictable and pointless. I think the writers wanted to end it on a bad note. Because if they wanted to end it on a bad note they should have done that with three. So they really screwed up. Again being a fan of the nerd movies this not the best. So if you want to have a couple of laughs watch this. One more thing for the fans who liked the first there will be a remake.It want be that good so don't get your hope up. Again it was a good not to finish on and stuck to the writers.

The stage curtains open ...

"Behold! The nerd child!"

Well, I've done it. I've seen all of the "Revenge of the Nerds" movies. Though this final installment wasn't the best sequel, it was better than Part III was. Booger takes center stage with this one as we join him on his very special wedding weekend. Yep! Booger is getting married. Overall, I had fun watching all of these movies back-to-back. The very final scene was a perfect way to close out the film as well as the series. But, more on that later. Let's look at the plot line.

As I mentioned before, Booger arrives at his future in-laws home for his wedding to the girl of his dreams, Jeanie - an Omega Mu. Of course, his nerdy, crass ways do not sit well with her family, especially her father who would rather resort to breaking up the wedding than suffer Booger as his new son-in-law. So he commissions his other son-in-law to dig up whatever skeletons in Booger's closet he can find to cast a shadow of doubt in Jeanie's mind. When a 12-year-old girl arrives saying that Booger is her Dad, it surprises everyone. Even Booger, who can't be sure it if is true or not. Meanwhile, Lewis and Betty, who are expecting their first child, and the rest of the gang show up as well to give Booger their support.

The last movie in the series showed a lot more heart than the third movie did. It was made-for-tv, and it felt like it, but it was a fun time. Corinne Bohrer, as Booger's bride, Jeanie, steals the show. She was perfect as the quirky, uninhibited, and slightly off-kilter love of his life. They actually made sense - LOL. She was so much fun to watch. Ogre is back as well, and Stan Gable shows up, now a confirmed nerd himself - though he spends most of the time in bed because he has the chicken pox.

The final scene where the closest of the bunch are gathered around to look at the new baby was perfect and just the right way to close it all out. "It's going to be a good year" someone says and they all laugh. I loved it. I would actually recommend this one. It isn't great, it isn't even a strong film, but it was entertaining with a solid feed-good vibe to it. Well, this one is over. Someday, I will be revisiting my nerdy friends again down the road.

I just watched the fourth installment in the Nerds series and I must say that I wasn't disapointed. Many of the actors from previous films are brought back and definatly revive the film, I was shocked to see James Cromwell in this. Booger and the gang are back!!
