Thankfully, in the hands of Troma Entertainment, TROMEO AND JULIET injects some much-needed verve into the story of star-crossed lovers, warring families and political differences. Anyone unfortunate enough to attended school in their youth will have been subjected to the swill that is "Romeo and Juliet", written by the pretentious knob that was William Shakespeare. But that won't stop members of each family trying. Naturally, it's love at first sight - the young pair not initially realising they come from opposing sides of the fence.īy the time they do cotton on to the forbidden nature of their love, they are of course so deeply entrenched in their feelings that nothing will keep them apart. It's at one such party that Tromeo and Juliet finally meet, the former attending with his young family members and masking up as is the shindig's requirement. Her family are hardly better: cousin Sammy (Sean Gunn) is first seen trying to get into the knickers of his own sister Georgie (Tamara Marie Watson) at a party. She meets maid Ness (Debbie Rochon) for regular lesbian trysts in a bid to help fend off the incestuous advances of her own father, along with his billionaire fool of a friend (Steve Gibbons). Juliet (Jane Jensen) has relationship problems of her own. Unfortunately he doesn't realise that she's doing the dirty on him. He likes to party, enjoys hanging out at his brother Benny's (Stephen Blackeheart) body piercing emporium, and is devoted to his large-chested girlfriend Rosy (Jacqueline Tavarez). On the poor Que side, we have cheery, pensive Tromeo (Will Keenan). Hence, they - and their families - have been sworn enemies ever since. The latter ripped the former off, thus deciding their fortunes from that moment on. Why are these two families at war? It all has something to do with their respective patriarchs - Monty (Earl McKoy) and Cappy (William Beckwith) - who had a filmmaking partnership previously. The Capulets live in a more privileged neighbourhood: they have the money, the parties, the women etc. On the rough side of town, we have the working class Que family (the father of the house is called Monty Que - get it? As in, Montague, from Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet". He introduces us to "two households, as different as dried plums and pears". Lemmy, who an onscreen caption tells us belongs to the House of Motorhead, is our narrator.
