Its always a problem to review a Troma movie. Troma is a genre unto itself, and you can't compare their movies to what everyone else is doing. They have their own rules and esthetics... and going by those, this is the best film to come out of Troma in years!
Without doubt, this is the most over-the-top, all-out assault on good taste Troma's put out. They even had the good idea to include an apology for Toxic Avenger Parts II & III. The movie is overloaded with gore, sex, breasts, political incorrectness, breasts, sex, lesbians, transsexuals, mutant superheroes... and did I mention sex, breasts and gore?
Yes, it has no socially redeeming value whatsoever. Its Troma. It's not supposed to. If you're a Troma fan, see it. If you're not, you probably won't like it. Unless you do.
The screening I saw was just this past weekend at the Renegade Film Festival in St. Petersburg, FL. The copy was an advanced screening, and according to the festival promoters the editing on the film was completed just in time for the festival, so I don't know how people were seeing this months ago or why the date listed is 1999 on here...
