My Review-

The sequel to Attack of the Killer tomatoes, was actually better. This movie had was a spoof of itself, from having no money to finish it having to go into product placement to fund it, to admitting they were making a movie in the middle of it. This movie was also one of George Clooney's first films and he did a pretty good job. I really liked how it made fun of itself and spoofed different parts of the movie from this one and the first one. Some scenes were way over the top like it was supposed to be and it did not take itself to seriously like a B-movie should. One of the best characters in the movie was a deformed tomato named FT, short for Fuzzy Tomato who would later turn out to be the hero of the movie. I cannot see why this movie has not reached somewhat of a cult status yet since it is a good movie, and is meant to be over the top and not too serious and its movies like these that should be considered a time of hidden gem. Although Return of the Killer Tomatoes is not for everyone, if you are looking for a good laugh and a movie that will not take itself too seriously watch this movie I'am sure that you are going to enjoy it.
