Tromeo and Juliet (1996)
Meh.

As much as I enjoyed watching this movie, it isn't a very good one. I enjoyed the way that the movie played with Romeo and Juliet and I appreciate the stylistic choices, but in the end the movie just fell flat.
Although the characters and storyline are essentially the same, the movie has very little semblance to the parent script. Peppering the script with lines from the Bard's work, the movie is giving a little wink-wink, nudge- nudge to the audience. In fact, Tromeo watches Shakespearean porn. Although some audience members will not know exactly why the porn disks are punny, they will laugh because the reference is clear. From any perspective the porn disks are meant to reference Shakespeare.
It's fun, but not fun enough to watch again.
