Commerical voice: Last year, more people were killed by automobile accidents, heart attacks, lung cancer, and natural causes combined than by any one tomato.
I came for bad movie gold. Instead I got an unfunny horror spoof with the worst songs ever written.
Ordinary grocery store tomatoes begin a rampage across the nation. A bunch of bumbling idiots from the government try to stop the onslaught. Their task gets harder when the tomatoes mutate into giant form. The plot does not deserve a single extra word.
OK, I simply could not resist a movie with this title. But it is stupid, the jokes are groaners, the songs are unbearable and its 83 minutes are interminable. Avoid.
A total waste of time and completely worthless. They consciously set out to make a “BAD” movie and they didn’t even make an entertaining “BAD” movie. To see a real masterpiece of a “BAD” movie see Ed Wood’s sublime “Glen or Glenda” or even better “Forrest Gump.”
My very favorite bad movie is “Robot Monster”. Does not require effort or a riff track to be absolutely hilarious. Love Ed Wood. I am a connoisseur of bad movies that make me laugh. I was hoping for something more along the lines of “Night of the Lupus” here, but no
Karma!
and the missing theme that I’m positive will assuage those bruised eardrums ya overhot tomato LOL
Perfect! Do you say tomayto or tomahto? I say tomayto. Is Queensland still locked down? Will this never end?
