Return Of The Killer Tomatoes Reviews

A young George Clooney!

The original Attack of the Killer Tomatoes has the distinction of making several Worst Movies Ever Made lists, and when it eventually comes out on DVD I want to watch it on the grounds that it's likely to be so bad it's hilarious. Return of the Killer Tomatoes has been released first purely because it co-stars a *very* young George Clooney, already demonstrating his potential by sending up the material even more than his other cast members (who also do a good job, in the spirit definitely intended by the director, who was out to make a spoof).

We enjoyed it a lot, so why only three stars? Well, it would have had two, except that it managed to send itself up suitably, which raised it a notch. But it tends to fall between two stools a little too much. The script and direction stop it from being a truly brilliant spoof, while the knowingness mean it can't be classed as a genuine attempt to be serious that goes horribly - and hilariously - wrong (think Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves).

But that shouldn't put you off. It's great entertainment if you're in the mood for something utterly silly and really very funny in places. Wash down with a glass of wine and some popcorn. Oh, and George looked pretty cute when he was young, for those who like that kind of thing.

Pure class

I had to give this film five stars. It is utter class for all the wrong reasons. The acting is dodgy. The effects are done on a budget that would make the modern child weep if given to them for pocket money. It is a terrible film and I loved every minute of it!

A film about killer tomatoes that doesn't have any in

Fantastic. Wicked. Ace. Mega. Clooney's best film (i'm not slagging him off i genuinely mean this)

Funny

Who says bad can't be good? Well worth watching at least once and the FX are so lo-tech as to be worth viewing several times just to make sure you saw it right the first time!!!!

Completely random and totally fun!

I was always so judgemental about this film, it was the film George Clooney wished he'd never done. Well for God's sakes don't pay him any mind, this is a brilliant movie. The story is crazy, the acting perfectly over the top and the dialogue is hysterical. I watched this film for Anthony Starke who plays the main character, Chad Finletter while George plays his friend Matt. Karen Mistal plays Tara, a tomato person who escapes from Professor Gangreen's long with her 'little brother' FT. She seeks refuge with Chad and he falls for her, not knowing her true identity. The film gets more farcical as it goes along, even stopping part way through due to lack of budget (thankfully, Georg comes up with the idea of product placement leading to a brilliant running joke!) The running time is only just over 90 mins so it never wavers, there is joke upon joke. Even the songs were written specifically for the film, be sure to listen carefully to those lyrics!

Overall, this is a really fun movie. I recommend you watch it with a bunch of mates and maybe a few beers. You're in for a riot!

FUNNY AND CRAZY BUT ENTERTAINING

Under Rated

This film seems to have been over looked as one of the best low budget films made. I would recomend this film to any of my friends. It stars a very young Gorge Cloony who suits the the film down to a 'T'.
