TROMEO AND JULIET 1996 UPDATE
It's a more believable update of the tale than the similarly themed - and far too MTV-ish for its own good - ROMEO + JULIET with Leonardo DiCaprio was.
TROMEO AND JULIET 1996 MOVIE
Therefore this movie instantly beats the amateurish, boring efforts that Troma have released in the past like CHOPPER CHICKS IN ZOMBIE TOWN, where invariably the title would be more interesting than the movie itself.Īn extremely loose adaptation of the story, this mixes in Shakespearian dialogue with more modern fare in a sometimes funny way ("what light through yonder Plexiglas breaks?"). Thanks to the direction of experienced film buff Lloyd Kaufman, there are plenty of jokes and (attempted) laughs in every single scene, almost overwhelmingly so. What this film may lack in taste it makes up for in sheer pacing and endless streams of jokes. More madness from the Troma stable, which would no doubt have the Bard rolling in his grave if he knew about it. Reviewed by Leofwine_draca 4 / 10 Troma fans will have a field day with this
