Deliriously silly!

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is in that thankfully small sub-genre of film I like to call "frat guy camp."

The really frustrating thing about Tomatoes is the toothlessness of its satire.

Even though there are about a zillion dumb parts, it never quite wears out its welcome.

Turned into a B movie classic based on its title alone.

I don't care if it's "so bad it's good" -- there's some seriously funny bits in this otherwise disposable cult flick.

This movie is hilarious. It's sort of a spoof on the giant animal/insect craze of the 50s, but it's also funny in other ways too. If you love spoof movies or goofy comedies in general, I highly recommend this one.
