It maybe because of the movie's plot that "Nerdland" didn't sit well with various movie critics as it premiered for one night only. It only registered 33 percent on the site's ranking. To make things worse, only 20 percent said they liked the movie.
The movie did have mixed reviews. Nick Schager of Variety and a top critic said that the movie revels in the foulness of the 21st century pop culture, albeit to a degree that's ultimately both exhausting and redundant.
On the other hand, Brian Orndorf of Blu-ray.com said that it tests the skill and the implementation of bad ideas are amusing, offering satisfying timing and unpredictable results, getting the movie up to speed with broad sense of humor.
As added by Movie Insider, the voices of Hollywood greats were lent to the film. It features the voices of Patton Oswalt, Paul Rudd, Kate Micucci, John Ennis, Brendon Small, and many more.
