A surprisingly moving retelling of the Bard's famous romantic tragedy in fine Troma fashion, complete with a Manhattan setting, gratuitous violence, body-piercing, and a hard-driving alternative soundtrack. Winner of the Raindance Audience Award. Tromeo and Juliet features the work of Scooby Doo and Dawn of the Dead screenwriter James Gunn and more tromatic obsessions than one can shake a nipple-ring at! In director Lloyd Kaufman’s hands, Will Keenan and Jane Jensen provide an intoxicating screen chemistry that has garnered critical acclaim from critics everywhere. Featuring All the body-piercing, kinky sex, and car crashes that Shakespeare wanted but never had, Tromeo and Juliet is a modern classic! Features a showstopping turn as Lemmy from Motorhead as the narrator.

5. I love this film. It is hysterical and not entirely unfaithful to the intent of Shakespeare's play. This is perhaps the best quality film that Troma has ever made. I'd recommend this even to folks who don't have an overall sympathy to Troma's vision the way that I do

This is one of the only Troma films I haven't picked up yet. Been waiting for the new anniversary edition. Finally came out I think, so now I just gotta buy it soon. lol

Yeah, pretty surprising, but I prefer Italian crap than American crap.

This isn't american crap. It is independent crap or Troma crap.

Yeah, pretty surprising, but I prefer Italian crap than American crap. You'd actually be surprised mate. If it weren't for the accents and setting you wouldn't naturally think it came from the US. Very interesting flick, though suffers from some jumpy pacing problems. 4 out of five from Toad.

It is hysterical and not entirely unfaithful to the intent of Shakespeare's play. I agree. We watched it for the first time last night, I was actually pleasantly surprised. Anyway, its lots of fun; twisted, gross and silly. I will give it a generous 4. "It happens to us all sooner or.....ladder!" hahaha....
