Surreal sequel is uneven but crazy fun
20 June 2007
If the original "Class of Nuke'Em High" was a mix of horror and comedy, this sequel is a straight-up parody that abandons all groundings in reality (the college operates INSIDE the nuclear power plant, and the students are regularly tested for radiation and often have to wear gas masks) and should be taken about as seriously as "Hot Shots, Part Deux". It's sometimes funny, sometimes not, but what I appreciated about it is that, although it rubs its bad taste in your face, it does it in a goofy and essentially good-natured way. I did think that the male leading role should have been played by an actor who looked more like a nerd and less like a jock, but that's a minor complaint. Jam-packed with hot women, great (or at least greatly creative) special effects, slime, destruction of property, and inside Troma references, "Subhumanoid Meltdown" is recommended for those who like their comedies unafraid to go over (and I do mean over) the edge. (**1/2)
