	If you don't mind another extremely stereotyped view of the "nerd,"
_Revenge of the Nerds_ is a pretty funny movie.  You know what I'm talking
about -- old-style glasses, shirt hanging out, calculator on the belt.
	It's a lot like _Animal House_ in it's extremely unrealistic view
of life at college.  The movie starts out with two guys (Gilbert and Louis)
arriving for their first year of college.  Not long after that, the jock
fraternity burns down its house, and manages to convince the dean that it
should get to stay in the on-campus housing instead of the imcoming freshmen.
The freshmen have to stay in the gym for a while.  Pretty soon though, every-
one but outcasts have been picked into fraternities.  So what do the outcasts
do?  They find a house and try to start their own fraternity....
	Everything that happens is pretty predictable, and there are a couple
of pretty obnoxious stereotypes (Lamaar, the homosexual; Booger, the
John Belushi (sp?) type; ...) but I enjoyed myself.  It was certainly better
than _Cloak and Dagger_ which I saw at the same time in a "special sneak
preview."  I would give it a 5 out of 10.
