A Surprisingly Decent Troma Film
22 March 2008
The title of this says it all. I think it's very rare that Troma churns out anything that isn't complete garbage. This movie still is garbage but it has a bit more to it than just being offensive for the hell of it. I had a good time watching it because I wasn't expecting a masterpiece or anything of the sort. It's just an entertaining piece of Troma trash with a little bit of heart.

The acting sucks, as usual with a few exceptions. I liked the Romeo and Juliet update for the most part but some of it didn't seem to add up for me. I think it may have been better if the movie would have just gone for its own story rather than trying to base it on Shakespeare's play, but it still works pretty well. I thought the direction was poor but let's face it, Lloyd Kaufman really doesn't know what he's doing, but he does know how to entertain and that's what he did with this movie.

If you decide to sit through Tromeo and Juliet, expect a good time but not anything spectacular. You should have fun.
