Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
The Year is 2033. Earth has been clobbered with a comet, civilization has been destroyed, and it hasn't rained in 11 years. Nearly all the water on the planet is controlled by the evil Water and Power company, which is in turn controlled by the even more evil Kesslee (Malcolm McDowell). Who stands in the way? Some mysterious mutants called the Rippers and, of course, Tank Girl. Lori Petty plays Tank Girl, the wisecracking, defiant heart of the movie, as kind of an inner child gone wild. Unfortunately Petty can't quite carry a movie on her own--her zingers frequently fall flat and she seems to be continually worried that we still like her. Luckily there's Naomi Watts as Jet Girl to save the day: smart, shy, and inherently way more appealing than Tank Girl. Tank Girl is based on the comic of the same name, and it is visually an eye-popper. It's worth watching for the insane set and costume designs alone. --Ali Davis

- Tank Girl....tanks!
"Tank Girl" has an interesting premise--what's a girl to do in a world where the water&electricity are owned by a few rich white men,especially a maniacal one like Malcolm McDowell? Like Mad Max, Tank Girl is set in post-apocalyptic Australia. Tank Girl (Lori Petty) is a loud,brash woman who defies societal convention,with the help of her friend (a bemused Naomi Watts) She also takes time away from battle to romance a mutant kangaroo man. The movie attempts a creative blend of cyberpunk,post-modern ... Read More

- Campy? Yes! Fun? Definitely!
A lot of people really don't like this movie. In fact it has made some of the lists of the worst movies ever made.

I totally disagree!!! This is definitely a funky, campy, hilarious, silly, and predictable movie that is just plain fun! When I saw it in the theater we just about fell out of our chairs because we were laughing so hard. I believe the only reason we weren't thrown out of the theater is because everyone else was laughing and enjoying the movie just as much as we were.

- Wisecracks galore, this movie is hilarious!
Good,campy comedy; Lori Petty is brilliant in fulfilling her roll as Tank Girl. She's a very Gwen Stefani-like persona here, both in her quirky dress and wisecracking personality. Refusing to submit to the evil powers that be, she not only resists her captors, but effectivly belittles them with her endless supply of one-liners. I couldn't stop laughing; even though she looked like Gwen, she sounded like Groucho Marx with her underhanded wisecracks. (How's that for a combo!) But in the end, we all know ... Read More

- Twisted and funny movie!
I lived in England when this movie came out and I had read all of the comic books that were printed about this movie's title character, which made it even funnier when I watched the movie itself. A lot of the stuff in this movie seems a little disconjointed, but in and of itself, this movie is fun to watch. This is one of my favorite movies of all time, as a matter of fact. One of my favorite parts of the movie is right at the beginning and I say it to my husband -- it's the "You've been stealing water" ... Read More

- A Cotton Candy movie -- silly, sweet, bad for you, but fun
There is no social redemption in Tank Girl. This movie will not make you a better person, it won't make you think, and you won't wake up two days later suddenly gifted with a deep and philosophical insight. But that's okay.

It's goofy. It's silly. It's not exactly high art. But sometimes you just want a movie where stuff explodes, bad guys and girls get their comeuppance, and kangaroos quote Kerouac and LA cops.
