What The Critics Are Saying About RTNH Vol. 1

CRITICS LOVE RETURN TO NUKE ‘EM HIGH VOL 1 OPENING JAN 16 AT LAEMMLE NOHO 7!
“People were cheering, yelling, laughing, jumping out of their seats, and just contributing wholeheartedly to the onscreen festivities. It was amazing.” – Interview Magazine

After selling out the Museum of Modern Art during it’s induction into the 2013 Contenders series and a successful opening in NY, the critics reviews are in on Lloyd Kaufman’s latest film “Return to Nuke ‘Em High Vol. 1.” Here’s what the critics are saying:

The New York Times –

“Powered by ribald bursts of bad taste and bodily fluids… The overall effect is [sic] joyous.”

Chicago Now –

“This film has an extremely retro flavor, including the 80s-flavored theme song and typical teenage sterotypes: the heroine of modest means who just wants to save the world, poor little rich girl, dweeby nerds, fat guys, dumb jocks, etc.etc.etc. Director Lloyd Kaufman, in typical Troma style, takes all this and twists it into a hilarious, disgusting mess that both shocks and entertains the viewer.”  Read more…

When Troma Met MoMA

“The latest film from Troma Entertainment, Return To Nuke Em High: Vol. 1, is not exactly a sequel to 1986’s Class of Nuke Em High—it’s more of a revamped, rebooted reimagining for a new generation. It is embarrassingly clear at this point that modern Hollywood reproductions of successful films of the past are usually nothing more than a shameless cash grab. What sets Return To Nuke Em High: Vol. 1 apart from these other unwarranted and ultimately forgettable remakes is the fact that it is perhaps the best parody of this unfortunate plague on the current film landscape to date.”  READ MORE!

Variety Film Review: ‘Return to Nuke ’Em High Volume 1’

Return to Nukeem High

“Lloyd Kaufman returns to the director’s chair with a hearty blast of Troma-branded schlock.

             

Rabid fans who delight in the wretched excess — or, if you prefer, excessive wretchedness — of Lloyd Kaufman’s infamous Troma schlock factory will doubtless embrace “Return to Nuke ‘Em High Volume 1” with all the fervent appreciation that a more conventional cinephile might reserve for a fully restored edition of “The Magnificent Ambersons.” ” READ MORE
