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.
