In a cynical bid for cult success, ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES employs calculatedly bad acting, ridiculous special effects, and inane dialog. Though it succeeded to some degree in achieving its goal, it's a thoroughly dull, unfunny effort. The film tries too hard at being ridiculous, and
though the idea of savage vegetables rolling around the city splattering innocent bystanders sounds funny, actually sitting through nearly 90 minutes of it is enough to make anyone long for ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN. There are some funny song parodies, but that's about it.
