Return of the Killer Tomatoes - RC 1
Im going to come right out and say it: I absolutely love this movie. Love it, love it, love it. Every time I watch it, I laugh like a drunken hyena. Yes, I realize its silly, low brow entertainment. I also realize that the acting is amateurish, the effects nonexistent, and the story ludicrous. But come on people…this movie is really, really funny. Where else can you see giant, fuzzy mutant tomato talk like cousin It while bouncing around the room like a can of flubber?
For those of you who dont know anything about this film, let me preface this review by saying that this is not a horror movie (as evidenced by the cover of the DVD case). Return of the Killer Tomatoes is actually a Naked Gun-like slapstick farce that throws almost every joke imaginable at the screen. And you know what? A lot of them actually work! The reason for this is that the filmmakers never, ever take the material seriously. They know exactly what kind of movie theyre making, and who theyre making it for. Everyone in the movie seems to be having a grand old time just acting like fools. For those who think George Clooneys best work is when hes acting serious, youve never seen him in an out-and-out comedy. Sporting fluffily long hair and droopy eyes, Clooney is pitch perfect in his role as the womanizing best friend. Anthony Starke, the poor mans Michael J. Fox, is so sweaty and nervous that he looks like hes suffering from a bout of TB. And then theres the great character actor John Astin as the devious Professor Gangreen. Cackling like Colin Clive in Frankenstein, yet simultaneously winking at the audience, his role is easily the funniest and most enjoyable in the film.
So just how goofy is this movie? Return of the Killer Tomatoes is the only film that includes a fight in a pizza parlor with ninjas, cowboys, children, and restaurant patrons. Return of the Killer Tomatoes is the only movie that has the gall to stop the film and pretend as if the budget has been depleted. Return of the Killer Tomatoes is the only movie ever made that features blatantly obvious product placement by everyone from Pepsi to Goobers to Corn Flakes to insurance companies. Needless to say, this is a fantastic flick.
Return of the Killer Tomatoes is not going to be to everyones taste (pun intended). Some of you will find it utterly stupid. Others will just think its a string of cheap laughs with some pretty shoddy effects. But for those of you who are connoisseurs of B-movies, Return of the Killer Tomatoes is a special treat thats tastier than a fresh ripe…well, you-know-what.
