Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

sddavis63 Everyone must have just a little, tiny bit of masochism in them. At the very least I have to confess that I do. Otherwise I would never have watched this movie. It's a movie that you know, from even before it starts, is going to be bad. Really bad. Unquestionably, undebatably and unapologetically bad. It's that last bit that might be the movie's only saving grace. Everyone involved with it - from the producers to the key grip and best boy - knew that this was bad. They had to know. And they made it anyway! For putting themselves through the experience of making this, they're also masochists! For them, because they actually released it for other people to see, there's a bit of sadism involved as well.It opens with some captions referencing Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" - and noting an invasion of birds in 1975 in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. That incident never actually happened - but, weirdly, there apparently was a bird "invasion" in Hopkinsville in 2013 - almost 40 years after this move was made. I don't know what to say about that, so I'd best leave it alone. Anyway the captions end with the words, "No one is laughing now." In another example of soothsaying - no one was laughing when this movie ended.What can you really say about this? You know it's going to be bad when the best known "performer" in it is the San Diego Chicken. OK, one could make a case for Jack Riley, I suppose, who clearly didn't have enough to do to keep himself busy after his turn as Mr. Carlin on "The Bob Newhart Show" came to an end. And I guess you have to give it credit - because you know it's going to be bad and it turns out to be really bad, so it meets expectations (perhaps even exceeding them) and maybe even accomplishes what it set out to accomplish because I think it was meant to be bad. Really bad. And it was. You know what - it gets a 2. For being exactly what it was expected to be. Really bad.

Hitchcoc I noticed that most of the pedestrian reviewers have said about the same thing. They got a kick out of this film, but thought it was terrible. I can't disagree. Having raised a few tomatoes in my time (you know, using those plants they sell at garden center) one ends up with so many, we don't know what to do with them. Think of the movie, "The Birds," an imagine that instead of birds you had home grown tomatoes. Throughout this film we see them rolling down the streets. We see terrified men and women, suffering at their hands (wait, they don't have any hands). A hillbilly cult is in the middle of all these attacks. It's a send up of horror movies. Somebody got an idea and spent about ten dollars to make it. Oh, of course, there is one great line I remember: "Gee, I'm gonna miss her/a tomato ate my sister." Can't beat these kinds of lyrics.

Leofwine_draca For me, there's nothing worse than an unfunny comedy. Sure, plenty of horror films aren't horrifying, but at least they do entertain, even if you're laughing at them. Sometimes thrillers won't thrill but they're usually of interest anyway. But a comedy that just isn't funny...well, what's the point? And I'm afraid to say that ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES! is THE unfunniest comedy I've ever had the misfortune to sit through, and this is from a guy who's seen a fair few Troma flicks in his lifetime.From the outset, you realise that this is going to be a broad, very broad, skit on the kind of '50s sci-fi movie epitomised by ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES, except a lot of those films were tongue-in-cheek anyway. ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES! quickly devolves into a series of quick-fire sketches, playing on the absurd humour. There's a meeting room that's too small so all the officials have to climb over the desk to sit down. A Japanese guy badly dubbed into English. A guy who parachutes in and drags his parachute around for the entire duration of the film. The tomatoes almost seem forgotten about at times, although there are a few scenes of people being chased by the huge fruit that rolls down the street after them. The ending is nonsensical and frankly embarrassing.The budget is non existent and the acting awful from the entire cast. There's no one-liner that works. Every trick in the book seems to have been thrown into the mix, like the Scooby Doo gag that comes from nowhere and goes back again just as fast. In fact, the only thing I liked about it was the catchy song that plays over the opening credits, but there's another eighty minutes of nonsense to sit through after that. Maybe, just maybe, this would have worked as a short, but as a feature film it's a dog. Avoid this one like the plague.

Rainey Dawn One has to re-watch this movie from time to time just to adsorb the stupidity! Yes it's that funny! Tomatoes Still Humor Me.This is one of those it's so bad it's good type of films - that is exactly what it is suppose to be and that IS the comedy of the movie. This type of comedy is hard for a lot of people to "get": It's suppose to be cheesy and in bad taste... it is a deliberately cheesy b-rated movie that IS the humor of it. The movie is basically poking fun at older b-rated sci-fi horror movies that were meant to be scary - yet they came across as funny.I will be the first one to admit that you have to be in the right mood to watch a deliberately bad b-rated comedy film such as this one. But when the mood strikes just right, this movie can tickle-your-fancy!Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is a cult classic film - so it will not suit everyone's taste in b-rated comedies but it does suit mine from time to time.8/10
