Michael_Elliott Revenge of the Nerds IV (1994) * (out of 4)Booger (Curtis Armstrong) is about to be married but his future father-in-law doesn't like him because (shock) he's a nerd. Soon the other nerds from the first film are back and find themselves in yet another fight to be accepted as real people. I must admit that this here is a major step-up from the third film but that's really not saying much and in the end we're left with yet another cheap, made-for-TV flick that falls flat on its face in terms of badness. The lack of real laughs is the deadliest thing here as once again the producer's go through all the trouble of getting the original cast back together yet they give them absolutely nothing to work with. The screenplay goes for all of the obvious jokes but this time out they're just boring and unfunny. Seriously, how many times can we see the same nerds put into the same situation and having the same outcome? I almost drowned when I was a kid once and I remember struggling in the water but of course not being able to do anything since there was nothing to grab onto. No matter how hard I tried it was just a lost cause. That thought passed through my head while watching this film because you can tell that the entire cast are trying their hardest to make this thing work but they simply have nothing to work with and you can't help but see the entire film go under. Robert Carradine, Julia Montgomery, James Cromwell and Donald Gibb are just some of the returning crew. Ted McGinley also makes a few quick (and cheap) appearances here. The entire plot is quite predictable but there are a few minor laughs to be had here but in the end you still have to put this into the really bad, really stupid ideas bracket.

Kristine 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

bronsonskull72 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.

MARVMOOCOW 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
