ask george clooney about this movie & he will cringe, but it is the finest example of a comedy sequel ever.
a follow up to the supreme low budget “attack of the killer tomatoes” this film pulls out every cliche in the book & is funny with it.
my favorite moment is where the movie runs out of budget 1/4 of the way through & the crew & cast from there on in are seen sporting corporate logos every goddam place possible (including the evil doctors mansion entrance gates with a giant pepsi logo addorning them) – this film is even worth watching right through to the very end of the credits (if you get up to turn off as the credits roll an old lady on screen -the directors mom- tells you to sit back down as her son worked hard for this film) at the end of which is a teaser for the follow up film which involves killer-carrots no less! (the follow ups are not meant to be much cop & only ever released in the usa, there were in total 5 ‘tomato’ films – i’ve only seen the first 2 though.)

this film is a stupid comedy that is best watched with maybe a few beers & a giant pizza & friends on a sunday afternoon.
it’s stupid in the vein of the early steve martin or an eddie murphy comedy film – it is essentially a no-brainer but damn fine comedy. (i’d recomend highly to anyone who liked the Elvira film too – a superb accompanyment for a double bill.)

mr clooney – dont be ashamed, to have been i this film is a supreme achievement in comedic history. personally i think you shoulda’ done more of these!

As we watch the overture we are treated of a glimpse of “Big-Breasted Girls Go to the Beach and Take Their Tops Off” and forget why we bought this film.

Long after the Tomato Wars a new generation has become blasé. But little do they know that the mad scientist Prof. Gangreen (John Astin, with his signature grin) is planning a comeback. Only this time he is disguising the tomatoes as tomato people.

Local pizza entrepreneur Matt Stevens (George Clooney, in his best role) is enamored of Prof. Gangreen’s prize possession Tara (Karen Mistal). Tara has a little secret and likes sex and toast.

Mat and his co-worker/roommate Chad (Anthony Starke) are tomato bigots; after their entire uncle lived through the tomato wars. So they are adopted by the runaway Tara and her little secret and a furry friend named FT. Prof. Gangreen sends his trusted limelight seeking servant Igor (Steve Lundquist) to retrieve Tara.

Looks like the tomato is out of the bag and Matt will have to learn to tolerate tomatoes or lose Tara forever. FT, faced with adversity, must make the final sacrifice proving that all tomatoes are not bad.

We are promised that if this film mates its worth we will get to see.
