 Revenge of the Nerds 1&2 on DVD review on AudioRevolution.com
When "Revenge of the Nerds" first appeared on the scene in 1984, it seemed like a subversive example of the teen comedy genre, and it holds up well in that respect.
The overall sound on the first "Nerds" tends to be better than on the second, although the center-channel dialogue sometimes sinks under music and ambient effects.
The original "Nerds" is actually worth watching; the second is a harmless follow-up that probably works best if you still want to sit in front of your monitor without the hassle of immediately retooling your brain for different subject matter.
