Bagyo7 I gave it a 3 for adaptation effort and another 3 for being the precursor for Waking Dead.Three for human characters, another three for zombies acting, or were those the Thespians? I meant actors. Were those actors? I'm just so traumatized. But it was fun, like a car chase, waiting for the accident to happen.Honestly, there's still working actors from this film. Tiffany Sheppis, still Hot. Ron Jeremy. Enough Said.We really need a TJ2. If only for more pop-corn fun. If we were drunk.

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!

Paul Andrews Tromeo and Juliet is set in present day New York city where Tromeo Que (Will Keenan) & Juliet Capulet (Jane Jensen) meet by chance at a party held by Juliet's Father Cappy Capulet (Maximillian Shaun), they quickly fall in love with each other. Unknown to them Cappy & Tromeo's Father Monty Que (Earl McCoy) have had bad business dealings in the past so when they find out about their offspring's blossoming relationship they are far from pleased. Add that to the fact the two families are at war with each other & Juliet is engaged to a geekish meat factory worker named London Arbuckle (Steve Gibbons) Tromeo and Juliet discover that the course of true love never runs smoothly...Co-written, co-produced & co-directed by Lloyd Kaufman Tromeo & Juliet is Troma studios attempt at adapting William Shakespeare's most well known play. The script by co-director Kaufman & his fellow co-director James Gunn takes the basic well known love story & adds that individual Troma touch. Lesbianism, farting, pee drinking, huge demon penises, body piercing, tattooing, murder, gore, mayhem, nudity, sex, perversion, bodily fluids, porn, child abuse, a slaughterhouse & a live mouse that is eaten whole by a lizard coupled together with bad acting & low production values. But does it work? Well in my humble opinion no it doesn't, I'm not a fan of the Troma way of doing things & I don't really like their films. Tromeo and Juliet is slightly slow going at times & I actually found it quite dull. I never laughed at any of it, the character's are up to the usual low standards set by Troma & the dialogue is irritating & stupid. If you haven't already guessed I didn't like Tromeo and Juliet that much, apart from a few effective scenes there is little here to get excited about.Directors Gunn & Kaufman didn't have much of a budget to work with & it shows, this has all the low production values, poor special effects & moronic ideals that most Troma films suffer from. There really isn't much about Tromeo and Juliet that I can praise, if anything. As usual for a lot of Troma films keep watching the end credits as they are just about the funniest thing about the film. I found the gore somewhat disappointing, there's a scene when someone loses an eye, some poorly staged fights, someone has a couple of fingers cut off, some bulging eyes, some blood splatter, a decapitation & severed arm, some pig carcasses & while it sounds gory it's all rather flat & not as extreme as I was expecting.With a supposed budget of about $350,000 it shows, Tromeo and Juliet is a pretty badly made film. The cinematography is static, the special effects are poor & it has low production values. The acting is terrible & these people shouldn't go anywhere near a camera ever again.Tromeo and Juliet is an interesting take on Shakespeare to say the least, but that doesn't mean it's any good. It's probably just about worth a watch as it's different but it didn't do much for me overall, disappointing.

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.
