Attack of the Killer Tomatoes has a cult status and spawned three sequels and a cartoon show on Fox Kids (which I suppose is now owned by Disney). It's a juvenile, high school class clown movie that takes very, very broad, scattergun shots at comedy while never fully embracing it's own stupidity.
As the title suggests, Killer Tomatoes are attacking a San Diego suburb and a wide range of useless characters, in an apparent parody of Dr. Strangelove, lead the fight back. The film's biggest failure is that the tomato attacks are barely featured and it begins to really drag after a while. However, I did find myself laughing out loud more than I thought I would as some jokes are quite clever and funny. Pre-dating Airplane by two years, this could have been much more of a classic had the budget been higher and the commitment to the insanity been more inspired.
A curiosity and certainly no classic.
