shawneuser So Roger Corman and John Landis decided to do an intentionally cheap and campy twist on The Attack of the 50 FT Woman. The problem with camp is that it typically isn't appreciated until at least 10 years after being released, with 20 years being even better. As such, right now, this movie just comes off as CHEAP, unfunny, uninspired, and mostly uninteresting. To be frank, there is one reason to watch this movie and that is the spectacular body of Jena Sims, the lead, who is either topless or in a skimpy cheerleader outfit for most the show. In fact, besides Jena, you see a number of topless babes in this movie. However, the nudity is all in a non-sexual context. I give it a 5 on Jena's impressive assets alone.
christopher-cole83 And then there's Attack of the 50 Ft. Cheerleader. I am a fan of the movies that are so bad, they become good for how bad they really are. Those movies are truly an art. Many times the actors try to give a believable performance, the effects department try hard, so there is an heir of seriousness about it.Trying to intentionally recreate that however is difficult. The concept of "Attack of the 50 Ft. Cheerleader" was well in line with its B-movie counterparts, but the acting felt way too forced. Plus it felt more like an excuse to show a lot of breasts. There are ways to pay homage to those great cult sci-fi classics, but this just didn't do it for me.
gavin6942 Aspiring college cheerleader Cassie Stratford (Jena Sims) consumes an experimental drug that grants her beauty and enough athletic ability to make the cheer squad. The drug has an unforeseen side effect -- Cassie starts to grow and grow and grow.Let me be up front on my choice to give this film a 6. That rating is purely based on the "fun factor" and not on any critical merit. The acting is nothing special (though I have sen worse) and the effects are rather poor. This should not count against them, though, because they obviously knew it was going to be cheesy.The cameos they were able to secure are impressive. Ted Raimi has a decent sized role as a scientist, and both John Landis and Roger Corman appear as professors. The scene with Landis and Corman alone makes the film worth watching for any horror fan.
cr_riley-547-576517 I've already seen Attack of the 50ft Cheerleader 3 times and loved it each time. You have gorgeous women, a funny script, gorgeous women, decent acting (not Oscar worthy, but what did you expect?), gorgeous women and more. (Did I mention gorgeous women?)**SPOILER** One of my favorite parts is when she is growing and she is in class. Her shirt just keeps expanding!I love tall women. (Married to one.) It was fun seeing her physically taller than the others. Even the original Attack of the 50 foot woman didn't really have that--they didn't have the knowledge to do it back then.**SPOILER** Also loved when she was walking up the stairs, revealing herself as gorgeous for the first time.Overall a decent movie. Quirky script, but how can you beat gorgeous women? (Or did I already say that?)
