Reviews for Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
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.
I don't care if it's "so bad it's good" -- there's some seriously funny bits in this otherwise disposable cult flick.
