Parachutist Wilbur Finletter is a national hero after defeating the Killer Tomatoes. Congress bans tomatoes and Wilbur opens his own pizzeria serving tomatoless pizzas. His nephew Chad Finletter is the delivery boy working with his womanizing friend Matt Stevens (George Clooney). Mad scientist Professor Gangreen (John Astin) and his assistant Igor are perfecting the transformation of tomatoes into human form. A mutant fuzzy tomato is thrown out which is rescued by a tomato of a girl named Tara. She calls it FT (fuzzy tomato).
It's fun. It's irreverent. It's silly. It takes the original's ridiculousness and makes a good camp movie. It starts with the late night TV show introduction. The use of the original's footage gives a sense of the style. There is a young Clooney although he was a nobody back when I first saw this. In all honesty, I can't claim to have foreseen his future success. It's not big laughs but there is something enjoyable about this light romp.
