Lovable nerds win in the end. Classic 80’s comedy.
Classic 80s comedy, for better and for worse.
Despite poorly aged panty raid, surveillance and more, boils down to an enjoyable 80s nerds v jocks film. Solid cast. Writing help needed.
Pretty fun movie, reads like Animal House for nerds
Some stuff that wouldn’t make it today but pretty funny overall
Some of the humor is outdated but still lands a few laughs and makes you root for the nerds.
Classic 80s movie that should be in anyones lineup for that time.
A very funny 80s comedy I would call it the nerds version of Animal House
Has its place in the classic 80s comedy pantheon but it did not age well in certain regards.
Super hard to watch with the overused tropes and the problematic plot points. Perhaps it should stay in the 80’s

At Adams College, the jocks rule from their house on high, the Alpha Beta fraternity. So when a group of socially-challenged misfits try to go Greek, they're instantly rejected by every house on campus. Deciding to start their own frat to protect their outcast brothers, the nerds soon find themselves in a battle royale as the Alpha Betas try to crush their new rivals.
The members of Lambda Lambda Lambda travel to Fort Lauderdale for a fraternity conference. They'll have to fend off the attacks of their rival frat, the Alphas, if they want to maintain their self-respect — and, of course, if they want to get anywhere with the pretty girls!
The nerds are now in control of the university, as a result of Lewis Skolnick and the rest's actions in the two previous movies. A new generation of sportsmen arrive, however, determined on winning the school back. The principle, himself an ex-nerd fighter, helps them, and the nerds return to suppression. Harold Skolnick needs help from his uncle Lewis, the hero of the first two movies. Lewis, however, are not too proud of his nerd past, and won't reveal any of it, much less help his nephew. However, his wife makes him change his mind, and with help from his friends from the first two movies, they start the fight to win the school back, using classic nerd tricks.
Lewis and his nerdy friends attend Booger's wedding to the daughter of a rich politician, but nerd-haters in the family do everything possible to prevent the wedding going ahead. Meanwhile, Lewis awaits with eagerness the birth of his unborn foetal child...
