Wow, this feels like a far cry from the original. It's got that cheap made-for-TV feeling all over it. A few of the stars return, so it's not totally disconnected from the franchise, even though it's heavily watered down from the first two.
Lewis (Robert Carradine) has now become a rich yuppie asshole with a hot wife. His nerdy nephew and friend are the latest pledges to Lambda Lambda Lambda, which has now become one of the most popular frats on campus. Meanwhile the jocks are now the ones who are out for revenge, in order to get back on top. On paper, this all sounds good, but the execution is lacking.
1½ stifled nerd laughs out of 5
Note: This was intended as a "backdoor" pilot to a TV series, but it fell through.
