Eamon A @EamonTheChicken Jan 15 (corny joke warning) this movie has both bad tomatoes, and bad rotten tomatoes. See more MAURICIO M @Macedomj Jan 9 agora eu me pergunto porque eu assisti esse filme até o final. O que eu to fazendo da minha vida e porque fizeram 4 filmes sobre isso que viagem See more Traci F @Trace922 Dec 15 This movie was my childhood. I love seeing the big tomatoes come down the street. I didn't care if they were the bad guys I love seeing the big giant tomatoes. See more Zoe B Aug 20 How does one begin to describe Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes? It is the cranberry mike's harder mixed with cucumber lime gatorade of cinema, for those familiar with the analogy. It is An Experience. Hard to place if it is a good or bad one. Frankly, it does not reach so bad it's good status- it reaches a tier of its own. So bad, it's actually fascinating how horrendous it is. There is camp, and there is whatever Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes is. It is under no misguided assumptions that it is not fundamentally deeply stupid. It's a bad attempt at parody of terrible movies that will leave you asking both "what the ****" and "why am I still watching this" with no attempt to reach for the remote. It's pure unadulterated garbage. Would watch again. See more Nick O Jun 4 Casablanca…Citizen Kane…The Godfather…Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes.
