(Updated: October 9, 2011)

Janet Maslin was in the New York Times that the film offers little more than the average of a comedy (is at least slightly more Varied than the average fraternity -boy comedy ) and criticized the screenwriters Larry B. Scott because of the stereotypical homosexual in the movie ( there 's nothing good did Larry B. Scott can do with the script 's limp - wristed stereotypically homosexual character). However, they found the characters, especially Carradine, who played Lewis Skolnick, sympathetic ( Mr. Carradine [ ... ] is likable ).

In the Chicago Sun- Times Roger Ebert taught that the film does not show nerds, but only a few interesting people. Because nerds not just people who would be well versed with computers, but nerds who have a lack of elegance in life (A nerd is a nerd Because He brings a special lack of elegance to life ). The real nerds of the film rather be the Alpha Betas, defeated at the end of the film and be humiliated, unfortunately on a unfunny way (The true nerds in the movie are, of course, the Alpha Betas, and They get defeated and humiliated at the end, but not in a funny way. ). And so he slating the film further, for his screenplay of idiocy not to be outdone, as a story in all the actions simply did not mean anything (As screenplays go, this is as idiotic as it gets. And yet the story means nothing in synthesis enterprises. ).

For Hal Hinson of the Washington Post, the movie was just stupid stupid, and let one also only feel stupid ( " Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise ." Is - stupid dumb This is a movie that [ ... ] make you feel dumb).

The lexicon of the International film meant that " many of the jokes to which this meeting gives rise [... ] very few " light.

You only have to see a photo of her on which she is wearing a cowboy hat and that is seized by Lewis in the first setting of the film in the suitcases.
