Critic Reviews
-
Michael Wilmington, Los Angeles Times
It's a gross parody of its original. And since the original was a gross parody to begin with, the whole thing begins to seem gaseous, overbright, hideously inflated, as if all the bodily function jokes were about to belch it right off the screen.
-
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
By all evidence, to make Nerds II, it took over 1,000 people with an aggregate IQ of under 1.
-
Pat Graham, Chicago Reader
This one's on automatic pilot all the way.
-
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
Because the cast is basically the same in both parts of the Nerds saga, the blame for the saga's decline must be assigned elsewhere. A good bet is that the change in director and screenwriters.
-
Dave Kehr, Chicago Tribune
The leading characters may have high IQs, but most of the humor rests a few degrees south of lowbrow.
