Summary: Losing my "Cherry 2000"
Review: It's not fair sometimes that movies as cool as "Cherry 2000" are unavailable for periods of time! This movie should be a main staple! It's got an exciting plot and it's so cheesy and fun, I can't tell you how many times I've come home after a bad day and turned to this movie! Another cool aspect of the film is the cinematography and the Basil Poledouris music score! They are so over the top and enthralling! It's an undiscovered classic that I'm glad to have found!

Summary: Cherry Comes Home To DVD!
Review: Movie Summary: Sam Treadwell's perfect robot wife, model Cherry 2000, breaks down. He wants to get her fixed because he thinks he loves her. But in post apocalyptic LA, there aren't any parts. He hears a rumor of a giant warehouse of Cherrys out in the wasteland. The problem is getting there, and getting back alive. To improve his odds he hires a tracker named E. Johnson (played by Griffith) who turns out to be a very unique and real woman, something that Sam has never encountered before. As E and Sam fight their way across the wasteland and into the warehouse, Sam learns a little something about real women and real love. My Opinion: This movie is a ton of fun. At first glance it may not seem like much, but when you watch it, it pulls you in and takes over. Sure it's a bit silly at times, but it has more depth than other movies of this type. There is a full blown plot and a moral to the story. The action is good, and Griffith is great. It's one of those guilty pleasures movies that you are embarrassed to admit that you like. It's very easy and fun to watch making it one that you will watch more than once. DVD Quality: Widescreen anamorphic, trailer, and making of documentary make this a nice little DVD What You Should Do: Buy it. If you are a SciFi fan you need this one. The price couldn't be better!

Summary: Don't Forget Tim!
Review: Nobody's yet mentioned another stand-out member of the cast of this film: Tim Thomerson as "Lester," the villain of the piece. His quirky and over-the-top portrayal makes Lester one of the most hilarious and memorable comic movie villains of all time. The film is rife with running gags, visual humor and clever bits of dialogue (as when one character describes life in the post-apocalyptic big city as being "kinda paranoid and audio-visual;" while another summarizes life in the lawless desolation of Zone 7 this way: "You should see 'em out there, playin' Twister and revertin' to their animal natures!") You'll need to watch it more than once to catch all the visual gags; my favorite being when Melanie Griffith consults her Thomas Bros. Guide to the Forbidden Zone. This film is plain good fun, and not remotely as insulting to one's intelligence as half the big-budget, "blockbusters" out there. For a fun David Andrews double-feature, try this one with Stephen King's "Graveyard Shift."

Summary: Guilty pleasure with a Cherry on top
Review: Obscure for many years since its original 1988 release (only popping up in maddeningly butchered "TV" prints), fans of sci-fi camp can rejoice that "Cherry 2000" is available at last. A klutzy yuppie-of-the-near-future short circuits his android girlfriend's "body" during an ill advised tryst on a wet kitchen floor (you know-all those electronics) and Melanie Griffith (striking a perfect balance between kittenish sexiness and post-Linda Hamilton kick-butt action heroine) is the "tracker for hire" who is going to help him find him a replacement. She takes her lovelorn client and his precious "memory chip" on a "Something Wild"-ish ride through a post apocalyptic "forbidden zone" chock-a-block with "Mad Max" type baddies (including the King of "direct to video" himself, Tim Thomerson!). Slyly cloaking its Feminist Fable message with spirited action and imaginative set pieces (despite an obvious low-budget), "Cherry 2000" belongs on your shelf next to "A Boy And His Dog" (perfect for a Melanie/Don Johnson "sci-fi double bill"!), "Tank Girl", "Six-String Samurai" and the suspiciously similar "Circuitry Man".

Summary: Great post-apacalyptic sci-fi thriller
Review: One of many post-apocapyptic thrillers following the success of Mad Max and The Road Warrior -- and a good one. Griffith is a tough femme mercenary hired by a yuppie to retrieve his stolen "Cherry 2000" sex android. It sounds silly, but the film has exciting fight scenes, and also moments of warmth and poignancy. Griffith is too proud to admit that she's grown in love with the yuppie. Of course, the yuppie eventually realizes that the love a real woman (Griffith) beats the "perfect" love of a vapid android. Film resembles Circuitry Man, another great post-apocalyptic thriller. In that one, Dana Wheeler-Nicholson is a tough femme mercenary who falls in love with a not-so-vapir male sex adroid. Yeah, they both sound stupid, but they're fine films if you like the genre. Cherry 2000 wasn't distributed until several years after its completion. For several years in the 1980s, I kept reading reports of "the soon to be released Cherry 2000." I suppose the Mad Max cycle had ended by the time Cherry 2000 was finished, and distributors got cold feet. The film still seems to suffer some residual (and unjustified) bad reputation. I found it highly entertaining, with moments of philosophical depth.

Summary: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Review: THE GOOD: I just can't think of one single reason why you should watch this film. THE BAD: Cherry 2000 is simply one of the worst films I've ever seen. I was expecting a campy and funny sci-fi b-movie. Instead, it turned out to be a waste of my time. Everything is terrible, from the writing and acting, to the plot and special f/x. It's boring, not funny, not exciting, it's just plain terrible. THE UGLY: The fact that Larry Fishbourne, one of the greatest actors in Hollywood, appears in this movie. Even if for only 30 seconds or so. THE BOTTOM LINE: If you've seen this movie already, and liked it: more power to ya, and you should enjoy the DVD (which has a "Making of" featurette. If you have not yet seen Cherry 2000, and are looking into purchasing because of word of mouth informing you this is a cult classic: STOP! This movie isn't worth the time or the money.
