According to the Fonz, who
popularized the term for his
"Happy Day's" co-stars, a nerd is
anyone who wasn't in the saine
ego and self-confidence league
as he was.
Out according to "Revenge of
the Nerds" (Flaza Four), a nerd
Is not only one heH of a smart
cookie, he or .she- -Jr also one
prickly foe to tangle with, capa
ble of rising to the challenge of .
the Fonzie-ish egomaniacs of
t the world, then sweeping them
i up in the dust and guffawing as
they stroll by in their eternally
i out-of-date duds.
Therein lies the simple beauty
of "Nerds," a largely ensemble
t case comedy with a pair oflika-
ble stars, sad, single-minded bad
guys and girls and a natural
I cast of college cuties who dont
I come close to stealing the show
j from the heroes, who, the film
I insists, are really the majority of
I us.
j "Nerds" is primarily the story
I of two high school chums Lewis
(Robert Carradme) and Gilbert
(Anthony Edwards), who arrive
at Adam3 College talking about
sex and ribaldry but holding on
to their fond memories of com
puter camp.
The characters of "Nerds"
range from the wonderfully ste
reotypical to the coyly surpris
ing. While no one gets as much
attention as Lewis and Gilbert
from a screenwriting crew that
must have liked all of its charac
ters, there are some enjoyable
supporting performances in net
so typical roles. ,
Curtis Armstrong, who b best
known fpr his role as Miles Dalby
in "Risky Business" is the most
convincing as a sleezy social
rebel Booger, while Andrew Cas
sese, a 16-year-old veteran of
commercials, is equally likable
j as a 1 2-year-old genius stuck in
j tne broad category of a nerd.
j Most of the cast has little
j headline experience, as Bcrnie
j Casey appears in what amounts .
to a cameo role, and only Julie
j Montgomery and Ted McGinley, '
who play the lead villi&ns, have
j lead-role actfcg experience from
! One Life to Live" and "Happy
Days" respectively.
But the true master stroke
I which saves "Nerds" from the
I banality cf a "ILO.T.'s" or any of
