Clarence is a kung fu loving guy whose boss buys him a night with a hooker, Alabama. Clarance quickly falls in love with Alabama and accidentally takes drugs from her pimp. The couple hits the road for California, planning to sell the dope and enjoy the good life in South America with the proceeds, but soon a group of very unhappy underworld characters are after them, as well as the police.
The only thing that goes wrong with the movie is Christian Slater... the failure of its central character ends up being an irritation, but not a film-crippling problem.
This film's various outrages are committed unapologetically, and are very much in the service of its bizarre story.

It's Tarantino's gutter poetry that detonates True Romance. This movie is dynamite.

...[a] violently funny genre mishmash that gave Tony Scott's new life, and also transmitted Quentin Tarantino's vision more credibly than the screenwriter and then-novice director could have done himself.
If shoot-'em-up, gobble-'em-down movies like The Fugitive and Jurassic Park are rated PG-13 these days, what does an R-rated action adventure look like? Like True Romance: violent to a fault, glam to the max.
