Revenge of the Nerds III:
The Next Generation (1992)

Rate: 2
Viewed: 9/08

9/08: Revenge of the Nerds III: The Next Generation has finally hit rock bottom by becoming a telefilm.

The material is stale as ever, and there isn't an iota of comedy. It's almost akin to a twenty-five-year-old man-child trying to come up with a good penis joke in a room full of urologists. The idea of advancing Nerdism like the Germans did with Nazism is anathema enough for me to want to finish the movie as quickly and painlessly as possible.

A toss-up for the most hated character comes down to Harold (who's a sex offender for sure) and the Malcolm X wannabe. By the way, why is it every time a comedy is produced, a black guy has to be just exactly that? At least, Clancy Brown makes an appearance. I spent most of my time trying to guess who that was while being stuck between Woody Harrelson and Thom Matthews. Speaking of cameos, Morton Downey, Jr., shows up; not many viewers will realize this, but he was the original Jerry Springer.

All in all, they should've ended the franchise already before green-lighting Revenge of the Nerds III: The Next Generation.
