Inevitably Tromeo and Juliet’s romance leads to trouble. The two have sex, get married and hit the town the following day, seeing porno movies, getting tattoos and having sex in public. Tromeo turns up at Juliet’s home the following night, finding that she’s been shut in a glass cage by her pervert father. Tromeo and his brothers crash Juliet’s pre-wedding party, where T&J first catch sight of one another. Juliet is set to marry London Arbuckle, a dweeb whose millionaire father owns a meat packing company. Each clan is composed of killers and perverts, with Monty’s son Tromeo being a dork who’s addicted to internet porn and Cap’s daughter Juliet a bisexual nymphomaniac who periodically gets it on with the Capulets’ lesbian cook Ness. The two clans were once friendly until Cap Capulet engineered a hostile takeover of Monty Que’s porn empire, and they’ve fought ever since.
The Ques and Capulets are warring families based in New York City. I don’t think I need to tell you which of the two films I prefer. The basis for this film, obviously, was ROMEO AND JULIET by William Shakespeare, and TROMEO’S February 1997 release closely followed that of Baz Luhrmann’s gaudy Hollyweird take on the same material. Kaufman was the all-around finest in-house Troma production up to that time (as it probably still is).
It also managed a fairly successful theatrical release in 1997, and according to Mr.
Tromeo and juliet release movie#
Wow! A legitimately good movie from Troma, and one directed, moreover, by Troma’s goofball honcho Lloyd Kaufman! TROMEO AND JULIET has the distinction of being one of the first-ever Troma films to receive near-uniformly positive reviews.
