Insanity. pure insanity
Tromeo And Juliet is a funny movie. It's a good movie. It's a cool movie. And even a perverted and violent movie. But above all it is a weird movie. Bill Shakespere wouldn't just roll over in his grave if he saw this he'd probably spin like a top. There's a lot to be said for a movie that has a person in the credits under the title "stunt nipple". The found a peanut bouncing head is hilarious, but not as funny as the guy picking up his brain and futily trying to put it back in his head while crying. The religious hymn of "Job We Gather At The River" each time someone dies brings happy recollections of the opening moments in The Wild Bunch. This is definately a good movie. Watch it sober your first time around however.
Shakespeare on acid? Possibly.
A very bizarre bringing to the screen of William Shakespeare's tragic love story. The Que family and the Capulet family have a long running hatred of one another which often results in violence. The hatred has something to do with a film company and the fact that everyone is pretty much crazy. In the middle of all of this insanity are Tromeo and Juliet, literature's most famous "star crossed" lovers that fall for each other at first sight and problems arise when they realize whose family the other belongs to. The film follows the basic plot of the original play remarkably well and key scenes even use the original, or close to original, lines. But the infamous Troma bizarreness pervades the film from beginning to end. That makes for a movie that is definitely not for all tastes, but it is nonetheless pretty inventive. Tyrone (Tybalt in Shakespeare) has a particularly funny death scene. 7/10 Many differently edited and rated versions exist. Each contains violence, profanity, drug use, and sex, all with a big dose of bizarreness.
So amazing I had to watch it again
This movie is truly unique. It really captures the spirit of the play, but makes it entertaining to the modern generation. The romance between Tromeo and Juliet was believable, and erotic, not pulled off by many adaptations. It is also so funny I was almost crying with laughter. Like with most Troma its in your face, taboo subjects, gore and sex, and yet add in some really good acting and a Shakespeare plot. You really have to see this movie to believe it! There are some hillarious jokes in the credits (best credits I've seen since Hot Shots) loads of Troma in jokes as well as general satire and shakespeare refs. And Lemmy from the house of Motorhead narrates. I lent this movie to a friend and had an almost impossible job of getting it back. Troma at its best, this film really is a gem, and goes in my top 5 favourite movies of all time. Though its not the sort of film you'd watch with your mum, and might offend some people. For anybody bored with run of the mill cinema, with a wacky sense of humour you MUST SEE THIS FILM.
Shakespeare, Welcome to TROMAVILLE
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.
Troma fans will love it! For the other half of the world.....
I've recently became curious about the Troma film industry. I wanted to keep an open mind to its quirky, crude, tasteless, brainless, gratuitous, violent, disgusting style (if you can call it that). These are the type of movies that make great cult flicks. And I have nothing against cult flicks, in general, but this one wasn't completely...up to my taste. There's lots of nudity and gratuitous violence. There's a steamy lesbian sex scene which is worth rewinding and hitting the slo-mo button on your remote. You can tell this movie was going straight towards "guilty pleasure" territory. However, half of the scenes in the movie are so repulsive, ugly and vomit-inducing that I had a hard time pleading guilty. This is sick, twisted entertainment that is DEFINITELY not for all tastes! I have to admit I laughed at some scenes, was stimulated by gratuitous nudity and just found some portion of the movie to be oddly appealing. I can't help but appreciate a movie that's different. I'm tired of seeing this standard mainstream Hollywood crap, and I crave for originality--but "Tromeo and Juliet" just doesn't the type of originality I crave. It doesn't have that "Seinfeld" show-about-nothing type of originality. It has that sick, David Lynch type of originality, sometimes used as an excuse to display the evil fantasies that lurk deep down inside and express them on screen. The effects are generally gross--though obviously fake--and the humor is generally stupid--and not the "funny stupid." I'm sure I'll get fried by the Troma Fans Union of America, but if you pay close attention to my review--like you should--I'm NOT panning this movie on account of EVERYBODY on the face of this Earth. I'm saying what I THINK, and as far as I know--that's the intent of these message boards. Troma fans will love this movie! Others...beware! My score: 4 (out of 10)
