Brian (Mark Berlin) is moving to Manhattan, the "other" gay Mecca. He had planned on staying with friends, small time robbers, but complications arise before he can get settled in. Brian, who tried his hand at robbery himself, remembers finding a vacant loft apartment and decides to move into it without consulting with the owners. He takes on a lesbian roommate, Corinne (Jane Jensen), and discovers that she and her lover intend for her to become pregnant with as little male participation as possible. The story concerns the trio's love lives, the progress of the "pregnancy project," and the improvisations needed for them to stay housed in Manhattan. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
Notorious schlock and psychotronic production company Troma (known for such classics as Toxic Avenger and Class of Nuke 'Em High) hails Tromeo and Juliet, its contemporary adaptation of Shakespeare's love tragedy, a "thrill-a-minute, body-piercing, computer sex, sapphic, car-crashing extravaganza." Set in New York City, the tale centers on the Ques and the Capulets. The bitter feud begins when father Capulet steals father Que's Silky Films production company. As enemies, the two warring clans are always doing horrible things to each other. Tromeo Que is a computer nerd who spends much time fondling himself in front of his favorite sexy CD-ROMs until he falls in love with lovely Juliet and proposes to her while she sits upon a toilet. The film, seemingly aimed at adolescent boys, features violence, considerable gore, profanity, vulgar situations (featuring buckets of fake vomit), and the graphic depiction of body piercing. (Of course, if it didn't, it wouldn't be a Troma film.) ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
