Les tronches IV

Everything past part one was progressively worse and worse, and this was the bottom of the trash bin.

The acting was horrible, the plot was a re-hash of the previous 3 movies, and the writing was as smart as 3rd grade "What I Did Last Summer" report. The main reason for the making of the movie was as a broadcast token.

When the Fox Network originally aired this movie in the United States in 1994, it was broadcast with 3D scenes. A little logo would appear on-screen to tell you to put on your special 3-D glasses during certain scenes. The glasses were sold at convienence stores around the time, a marketing tie-in for the occasion. Some of the scenes looked cool in 3-D, like the food fight and the bachelor party, but it was just a novelty and was only worth seeing once, which is exactly how many times it was shown in the 3-D format.

When I die, St. Peter will probably frown on me for wasting the two hours of my life that I wasted to watch this crap, when I could have been doing something to help mankind instead.

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.

Revenge of the Nerds IV (1994) was the final straw in the "nerds" series. Now this movie is too bad for words. It's so bad that it makes part two a joy to behold. I don't know why they even bothered with a fourth film. I highly doubt the third movie was a "huge" ratings winner (remember, this is the FOX network). The gang is back (for the most part) and there's gonna be a wedding.

'nuff said!

Bad movie that doesn't warrant any further discussion. Except that I advise you not to watch it. Unless you love the entire series as a whole (I know that there are several people out there how do). Others need not apply.

D-

Let's hope this will be the last film.

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!!

Revenge of the nerds part 4 is the greatest film I have ever seen. It is like looking into the face of god and having him say "You are my most wonderous creation.". The movie is so perfect it is beyond human comprehension and should be viewed as such (additionally pregnant women and viewers with heart conditions should not watch). For those who say Booger and the gang's antics are trivial, moronic, confounding and beyond the limits of good taste should move to Canada! I will end with something to think about, Revenge of the Nerds 5, dare I say?
