Tromeo lives in squalor with his alcoholic father Monty and works at a tattoo parlor with his cousin Benny and friend Murray. Troma fans will love this movie! Others.Set in modern-day Manhattan, the film begins with the narrator ( Lemmy of Motörhead) introducing two families: the Capulets and the Ques.Īt the center of these families are Tromeo Que and Juliet Capulet. I'm saying what I THINK, and as far as I know-that's the intent of these message boards. 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. 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. It doesn't have that "Seinfeld" show-about-nothing type of originality. 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. I can't help but appreciate a movie that's different. 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. This is sick, twisted entertainment that is DEFINITELY not for all tastes! However, half of the scenes in the movie are so repulsive, ugly and vomit-inducing that I had a hard time pleading guilty.
You can tell this movie was going straight towards "guilty pleasure" territory.
There's a steamy lesbian sex scene which is worth rewinding and hitting the slo-mo button on your remote. There's lots of nudity and gratuitous violence. And I have nothing against cult flicks, in general, but this one wasn't completely.up to my taste. These are the type of movies that make great cult flicks. I wanted to keep an open mind to its quirky, crude, tasteless, brainless, gratuitous, violent, disgusting style (if you can call it that). I've recently became curious about the Troma film industry.
