Critics Consensus

While Cherry 2000 has a certain low-budget appeal, all but the most ardent genre enthusiasts are likely to find its silly story and uneven performances unintentionally amusing.

A tongue-in-cheek sci-fi action pic which owes a considerable debt to the Mad Max movies.

Gone With The Twins

Action scenes continue to fizzle, comic relief moments inspire zero laughs, and Andrews and Griffith exhibit no chemistry.

Rated: 2/10

Look, I don't know what's going on. I didn't write the movie. Nobody wrote the movie.

Retro futuristic fun, but a little too silly and a little too predictable.

Its a very odd movie. Starts off good, gets lost in the middle, starts to get back on track, ends on a whimper.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

I wanted to like it but it's kind of crap. The plot is amorphous. Melanie Griffith plays the part well and I wish I could be in the film and drive around in a Mustang with her and then have sex with her character. People have said that the film is akin to Mad Max but this is offensive to me because it's not even close. I don't hate the film but I don't think it's a good film either. The Sky Ranch part was confusing to watch but I'm glad he burned them out (even though shooting a trail of gasoline would not ignite) etc
