Very rarely does a sequel to a cult hit live up to the expectations of die-hard fans, it happened of course with Ghostbusters and BTTF, but it is certainly a rare treat. It is with this in mind that I unequivocally declare Nerds in Paradise a cinematic masterpiece.
This movie has EVERYTHING!! from a choice soundtrack, great location shots to Booger at his comedic best and a feel good ending with the inevitable nerd triumph. The persecution of the nerds cuts a little deeper than it does in the other three films, but the nerds certainly don't take it lying down, there frustration at being forced into sub-standard accommodation and having the tri lambda fraternity continually ignored despite lewis's assurances that they would be accepted this time culminates in an epic poolside battle, with a few surprises thrown into he mix.
A highlight of the film would have to be Boogers inspiring impromptu speech, when he asks "who decides the standards" despite being in a room packed with jocks. In addition to this the scenes on the beach and poolside as the nerds try their hand with the ladies have predictably hilarious results.
Robert Carradine is amazing as Lewis and he really gives his all into his performance highlighting his commitment to the Nerd films.
