Like many B-movies, the concept and title is much better than the movie
itself.  There's nothing funnier than the idea of tomatoes killing people,
and that has made this low (and I mean LOW) budget film a cult classic.  But
the film itself is pretty poor.

Somehow (nuclear? crop engineering?) tomatoes have gotten a taste for human
blood.  There are many reports of them attacking people (and even
helicoptors!), and the government wants to keep it quiet.  They pull
together a crackpot team of specialists, headed by Mason Dixon.  His team
consists of a disguise expert, a swimming expert, an underwater expert, and
a parachutist.  Don't ask.  Nothing makes much sense in this movie.  So, the
tomatoes are getting bigger and attacking more people.  The President and
his press secretery have their backs against the wall.  A local reporter is
trying to crack the story wide open.  An advertising guru is trying to make
a buck.  The army breaks out into song.  And the tomatoes are taking over!

There is a lot of insanity in this film.  The story is jumbled, not making
much sense, and there's no continuity.  A lot of the jokes are funny, but
many others falter.  The scenes with tomatoes are hilarious - but few.
Worth a gander by those interested by the title, but in all honesty, it's
not very good.
