3 out of 5 stars Tara Firma (Karen Mistal) is a real tomato   July 20, 2008
B. Chandler (Arlington, Texas)
As we watch the overture we are treated of a glimpse of "Big-Breasted Girls Go to the Beach and Take Their Tops Off" and forget why we bought this film.

Long after the Tomato Wars a new generation has become blasé. But little do they know that the mad scientist Prof. Gangreen (John Astin, with his signature grin) is planning a comeback. Only this time he is disguising the tomatoes as tomato people.

Local pizza entrepreneur Matt Stevens (George Clooney, in his best role) is enamored of Prof. Gangreen's prize possession Tara (Karen Mistal). Tara has a little secret and likes sex and toast.

Mat and his co-worker/roommate Chad (Anthony Starke) are tomato bigots; after their entire uncle lived through the tomato wars. So they are adopted by the runaway Tara and her little secret and a furry friend named FT. Prof. Gangreen sends his trusted limelight seeking servant Igor (Steve Lundquist) to retrieve Tara.

Looks like the tomato is out of the bag and Matt will have to learn to tolerate tomatoes or lose Tara forever. FT, faced with adversity, must make the final sacrifice proving that all tomatoes are not bad.

We are promised that if this film mates its worth we will get to see.

"Big-Breasted Tomatoes Go to the Beach and Take Their Tops Off"

5 out of 5 stars How about some Crest? Commercialism was never funnier!   June 30, 2002
AN UNFORGETTABLE FILM! Yes, I am not kidding, and I am not drunk! Okay, it's an extremely silly comedy, drawing from the same vein that was later tapped in "The Naked Gun" films. John "Gomez" Astin & a young bohunk named George Clooney give memorably hilarious performances. Those elements would make the film a delight. This film REALLY stands out when the movie is shut down due to lack of funds. Only blatant product placement can keep this production going. This was a heckuva plot twist for a mere 1988 B-movie, and its rip-roaringly zany execution deserves more accolades & cult appreciation than its received. It took me years to find a used VHS tape of this movie, which was my holy grail of 1997. Discovering this DVD was a dream come true for me.

5 out of 5 stars Finnaly on DVD!   April 2, 2002
This is one of my favorite comedys/spoofs and it's finally coming out on DVD! This is a hillarious film. It's about a mad scientist who is turning tomatoes in to perfect replicas of humans. It is up to the tomatoe with a hart, Tara, her tomatoe frined Fuzzy Tomatoe (F.T. for short), a pizza dilevery college student Chade, and his friend Matt (played by a young George Cloony) who is calling himself Rob Loa to get hot girls. This is the type of spoof that just gos and spoofs anything in sight, product placement, bad dialog, and the list gos on and on! This comedy ranks up there with Airplane. Highly recomended!
