rachellynn-91368 Anyone who says they hate this movie has no sense of humor. Unbelievably hilarious so so so funny! I bought this without seeing it and I have no regrets. It is a new addition to my list of favorites

bkoganbing Now I know that there are some folks out there who simply do not like their vegetables. One viewing of Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes and you will swear off pasta, ketchup and all kinds of tomato products forever and ever.The notion here is that as they would say on Star Trek TNG tomatoes have become sensient beings. Their consciousness of self has brought a killer instinct to the plants as they absorb Blob like all other kinds of life. Can humankind survive the onslaught of the tomatoes?This was supposed to be a spoof of science fiction films. But sad to say it was brought to the screen by as untalented a group of players as have ever gathered. The direction they get ain't so hot either. Supposedly funny scenes are delivered badly as punch lines and situations are flubbed almost regularly.It's just all around bad folks. Unless you are a glutton for punishment skip this one.

Eric Stevenson This is one of the weirdest movies I have seen in a long time. It's actually hard for me to even criticize this film because there isn't much to say about it other than that it's completely ridiculous. I'm wondering if a lot of these jokes were improvised. There was one thing that really annoyed me. The poster showed tomatoes with faces and vines as limbs. That never appears in the movie and I was really looking forward to that! It would have been a lot more creative. This was two years before "Airplane!" which was a spoof movie that was just genuinely good. It is kind of funny to see tomatoes killing people by just touching them, apparently.So many things in this movie come out of nowhere. A lot of it is just completely irrelevant. I doubt anything in this movie is meant to be taken seriously. I can understand why a lot of people enjoy it because of how dumb it is. I guess I'll go right in the middle with this one. There actually are some pretty funny parts but not enough for a whole movie. I guess this would have worked better as a sketch or an episode of a TV show. The funniest part was probably with the blind guy directing traffic. We even started with a good joke at the very beginning! **

Scott LeBrun Looking back, even the makers of this film likely couldn't have foreseen how much staying power their concept would have. Years later, this still has some appeal as one of the goofiest send-ups made. In the spirit of the Zucker - Abrahams - Zucker team, co-writer / producer / director John De Bello and co-writer / co-star J. Stephen Peace make fun of schlock pictures of decades past, spinning a yarn about deranged ravenous rolling tomatoes that mutter to themselves while annihilating hapless human victims. They just dive head first into the splattery action, and pack the movie with sight gags, verbal jokes, and satirical detail. That said, not all of it is that funny, in this viewer's humble opinion; one has to wait through some slowly paced scenes and jokes that fall flat in order to get to the really good stuff. There's just not enough utter hilarity to sustain even an 84 minute run time. Still, the incredible enthusiasm of the mostly no-name cast does keep this watchable enough. David Miller stars as government operative Mason Dixon, the man who heads a special task force to take care of the tomato problem. Said task force includes a "disguise expert" (Gary Smith), a swimmer (Benita Barton), a deep sea diver (Steve Cates), and a special assistant / parachutist (Mr. Peace) who carries his parachute with him wherever he goes. Familiar comedy actor Jack Riley appears as the salesman, while the equally prolific character actor Eric Christmas does well as the doddering Senator Polk. Believe it or not, a couple of musical numbers are also thrown into the mix, with the gut busting theme song and the all-important ditty "Puberty Love" rating as highlights. Among the priceless gags are our disguise expert working undercover as a tomato, a group of men meeting in a room that's much too small, a Japanese scientist who's VERY badly dubbed, a spoof of "Jaws", and a man taking a shower in a hallway. The special effects are just as tacky and unconvincing as one could expect (and desire), and as a bonus we get to see a helicopter crash that was actually very real (as in not scripted). Given how brightly the film starts, it's disappointing that the movie isn't funny more consistently. But when it does score, it scores strongly. Recommended best to folk who enjoy rampant silliness and zaniness in their comedies. Followed by three sequels and a TV series. Six out of 10.
