RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
a-jw The plot is ridiculous. The acting is bad. The effects are fake. The music is horrible. The chicks show tits, but the guys no dicks (if the monster dick doesn't count). They even throw in a kick-ass Juliet and a lesbian sex scene, just for good measure. Basically it has something for everybody who can appreciate some real quality garbage.
thewag777 This movie is really sick, and funny. I have made my friends cringe describing it to them. I saw it about 8 months ago, and I still have the song 'Shall we Gather at the River' echoing through my head.So basically, it is a Tromatized Romeo and Juliet, but it goes beyond what you would expect. Let's just say incest, references to child molestation, gore (of course), but unfortunately, has a sort of happy ending...sort of...it's more weird than happy. Cappy Capulet was brilliant! He has this sort of intellectual snobbish tone, he's abusive, but civilised. He quotes more Shakespeare than anyone else in the film...all while engaging in his sadistic role as a husband and father.The meat guy was pretty cool too. He was Juliet's fiancé, deeply infatuated with her, and soon to be heartbroken because of Tromeo. And Tromeo, a true romantic. He's a handsome, really sweet guy, desperate to find true love. 'She doth make torches to burn brightly!' Unfortunately, Troma just had to resort to that awful fake green vomit and their other antics. They really get carried away with that stuff sometimes. But hey, this film made a great impression on me. How often do I refer to it in real life situations...wow that's pathetic.Anyway, enjoy!
RainDogJr If you're reading my comment you probably know everything about how the films of Troma are and why they are so unique and great so you are probably, if you haven't watch it of course, imagine how is the mix between Shakespeare and Kaufman. If you are imagining an extremely hilarious film with many memorable scenes and with the classic gore, sex and creativity of Troma, well you're imagining the right film. Since the very beginning, with Lemmy of Motorhead as the narrator, this film is nothing but a really unique, bizarre and hilarious version of the Shakespeare classic.Capulet and Que, the last names of two rival families that once were friends but now the only thing that they feel of each other is hate. The life of Tromeo Que (Will Keenan) will never be the same after he meet Juliet Capulet (Jane Jensen) and they must fight for an impossible but true love.I really like the way that the hate between the two families is shown at the beginning because this is real hate and all the members are just crazy in different ways, of course depending of which last name they have. Tromeo is always at parties, his girlfriend is unfaithful to him and he loves pornography. Juliet can't go out of her house, her father is a real f*cker and although she doesn't love London (Steve Gibbons) she must married him. Also she is having a sexual relation with the maid.But we all know that they feel real love and in this film there is one scene, probably my favourite, in which Juliet becomes a sort of a cow with penis because she wants to get rid of London. When Tromeo looks Juliet as a cow, he doesn't care and he kisses her. I mean that's true love, don't you think? The end is also hilarious with the real reason of the hate between the families and the sons of Tromeo and Juliet.The cast is also pretty cool with the beauty of Jane Jensen and Debbie Rochon and a great and funny work of Will Keenan. There are great cameos: Lemmy as the narrator, Lloyd Kaufman appears at a party, Ron Jeremy and also Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D. and Toxie appears.Well I really enjoyed this film but I can only recommend it to people who know something about Troma. Anyway, what a great film!PS: the soundtrack is also pretty cool. Motorhead, Sublime and Unsane are some of the bands that appears but my favourite and most bizarre fact is that the Mexican band Brujeria is also here. If I can find this CD someday it will be an obligated purchase.
didi-5 Troma Pictures are an acquired taste, and this one, an 'adaptation' of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, directed by Troma founder Lloyd Kaufman, is no exception.You want suicidal squirrels? Plexiglass cages? Bad, bad, acting? Bad, bad, bad, dialogue? Scenes and situations of excruciatingly poor taste? Lemmy as narrator? Gory deaths? Loud music which jars on the nerves? Silly jokes involving phalluses, toilets, and bondage? Then this will be a real treat for you. For the rest of us, who hoped and prayed that nothing could be worse than The Toxic Avenger, here is something closer to the bottom of the barrel.
