Délire à l'université

I saw this film back in the nineties on USA Up All Night. I've been a huge fan of Richard Gabai and his movies for many years. Party Nerds is no exception. It's about a nerdy fraternity who decides to change their image by throwing "the greatest party in the history of school, if not the world". Linnea Quigley and Michelle Bauer have two of the funniest sex scenes I've ever seen.Richard plays a really cool guy in a house of misunderstood misfits.Marc Silverburg plays the most uptight guy ever and the ending is an homage to 80s sex comedies everywhere. This movie has everything. It has romance, sex, nerds striking back, the "getting ready to party" montage, great music from "the Checks" and a hot guy on a motorcycle. It's low budget and lots of fun. If you get the chance check out the DVD with the commentary because it's hilarious!

What do you expect of a film entitled "Assault of the Party Nerds??" For me- not much and I was able to find it mildly entertaining.

Title pretty much says it all; nerds organize party, but are opposed by the jocks. The two female stars, Quigley and Bauer, show off their assets and what nice assets they have too. Film isn't too long and at least moves at a decent pace.

My rating: 4 out of 10.

The fraternity of Lambda Alpha Eta is in danger of becoming extinct, as the only 4 members are all graduating college at the end of the year. So naturally they plan a huge party while battling the gayest most annoying jocks ever put on mainstream celluloid. If I hear the phrase 'kick his ass' one more time, i'll go insane. This z-grade "Revenge of the Nerds" clone is sadly very low on laughs, and has one of the worst theme songs in recent memory but the more masochistic fans of '80's scream queens Quigley and Bauer should still check it out. And even then, do so very VERY hesitantly. Followed by a sequel that one would hope is better, because quite frankly you can't get much worse.

My Grade: D-

DVD Extras: Director's commentary; Bloopers; slide show (with nudity); Interviews with Linnea Quigley, Michelle Bauer, Richard Gabai, & one with all three; Music video; and theatrical trailer

Eye Candy: Michelle Bauer, Linnea Quigley, and Tantala Ray all get topless

I only bought this movie a few years ago because of Linnea Quigley and Michelle Bauer, and now it is one of my favorite low budget b-movies, also I discovered Richard Gabai, who besides acting Directed this flick. Anyway, it is a pretty funny little movie, Linnea AND Michelle play sorority sisters who are a lot dumber than usual, but sexy as hell, Richard Gabai plays a smart fraternity guy and Chris Dempsey plays the evil dude who hates Gabai. Go ahead and rent it, also look for the sequel which is funnier than this one.

Director Richard Gabai proves the life isn't just about getting laid its about getting deep too in this beautifully written, expertly acted comedy that best represents the excitement and offbeat beliefs of real-life underdog fraternities inspired by Revenge of the Nerds. This isn't the standard plot driven narrative expected from director/screen writer Richard Gabai, instead it is fearlessly piloted by Sid Witherspoon, the leader of an unpopular fraternity. Troy Donahue's impressive flawless performance creates a likable but emotionally reserved Witherspoon, expanding the character's complexity further than the rare novel published exclusively in France by Gabai. Saddly I wasn't distracted enough from the engaging and hilarious dialog to notice and appreciate the detailed scenery and beautiful colour until the fourth time I watched it. Weather a die hard fan of frat-comedy or post-Shakespearian playwright enthusiast this is the movie....no! Film for you.
