Review: "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"

There's a certain category of films that qualify as really not good, but at the same time, they really are good. Well, this is one of them. It has a notoriously low budget and poor acting, but it masks those inconsistencies with genuinely hilarious jokes and a laughable plot.

As I said, the acting is really bad. It's like the actors don't even try to make an effort to be interesting. The special effects are also really, ahem, nonexistent, with the only hint of a scene with an actual budget being an unplanned helicopter crash. However, these things are so horribly executed that it makes the film a quite enjoyable watch.

Perhaps the best parts of the film are the jokes and Ted Swan, a cruel and absent-minded business executive. Swan loves laughing at bad things happening to people, such as his commercial making fun of a blind police officer. The humor is also spot-on, satirizing the Jaws franchise and spewing out edgy jokes about everything from Adolf Hitler to Jesus Christ. The comedy in this film arguably saves it as a whole.

Falling into the "so bad it's good" category, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes makes up for its cheap budget with laugh-out-loud humor and an undeniably creative premise.

RATING: 7/10
