It takes a special kind of person to appreciate Troma movies.They definitely aren't for everyone.This is considered to be their best movie but I would say it's only in the top ten.This movie(like many other Troma flicks) takes place in the imaginary town of Tromaville, New Jersey.A town that has become a dumping ground for toxic waste.For some reason all the cool kids hang out at the local gym where poor, geeky Melvin works as the mop boy.Of course the cool kids hate Melvin and decide to play a trick on him.A hot girl tells him if he puts on a pink tutu she will have sex with him.She makes him close his eyes to kiss her and he opens them to find out he is kissing a sheep in front of all the cool kids.He runs down the hall and falls out a window into an open barrel of toxic waste that is on a flatbed truck that has pulled over so the driver can snort coke.The waste transforms him into a monster that loves to violently kill anyone who hurts people.For a low budget film the plot and special effects are pretty good.The jokes can get a bit cheesy but that's what Troma is all about.Six stars.
