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.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
By all evidence, to make Nerds II, it took over 1,000 people with an aggregate IQ of under 1.
This one's on automatic pilot all the way.
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.
The leading characters may have high IQs, but most of the humor rests a few degrees south of lowbrow.
