Attack of the 50 Foot CamGirl

I decided to check out "Attack of the 50 Foot CamGirl" on Tubi. It's a Full Moon release from Jim Wynorski, who used to make a bunch films for Roger Corman's Concorde Pictures.

Attack of the 50 Foot CamGirl is basically a remake of Attack of the 50 Foot Centerfold. This one runs slightly over an hour.

Beverly Woods (Ivy Smith) is an internet sensation. Her husband is trying to team her up with her assistant Fuschia and bilk Beverly out of her money. Her husband is hoping a food experiment will poison Beverly, but instead it makes her grow into a fifty foot woman. Beverly's husband and Fuschia's plan backfires. Fuschia sees what kind of guy Brad really is. Both women make nice with each other in the end. I came into this with low expectations, but I actually really liked Ivy Smith and hope to see more of her work.

If you're looking for spectacular graphics and beautiful scenery then go watch Avatar: The way of water. This movie is like a teenage boys fever dream. It's weird, it makes no sense and it has boobs in it. I laughed within the first 30 seconds of the film and it wasn't a snort of derision, it was a real laugh. It's obvious to me, but apparently lost on the other reviewers (arfdawg-1) of this film, that the whole thing was made for fun and stupidity. It probably cost next to nothing to make and it looks like the actors are having a laugh. So don't be an idiot, don't judge this as if it was high art because it so obviously isn't. It's just a hour long joke. Lighten up!

Well, the title of this 2022 movie didn't exactly scream top notch movie, but I still opted to sit down and give "Attack of the 50 Foot CamGirl" a chance, on the account of it being a movie that I had never seen nor heard about.

Writer Kent Roudebush actually put together a fair enough script and storyline here, because "Attack of the 50 Foot CamGirl" was every bit as campy as I had expected. The movie did, however, have a lot of pointless nudity, which didn't really help further the movie in any way. And had director Jim Wynorski opted to not go for all that nudity, then "Attack of the 50 Foot CamGirl" would actually have been a far more enjoyable sci-fi comedy.

Of the entire cast ensemble in the movie, I was only familiar with actress Christine Nguyen. I will say, though, that they had an interesting cast ensemble together for the movie, where some performers put on good performances on the screen, and other put on somewhat dubious performances.

Visually then I was actually surprised with "Attack of the 50 Foot CamGirl". The effects were rather good for a movie such as this.

All in all, then director Jim Wynorski's 2022 movie was watchable enough for what it turned out to be. Sure, you're not in for a grand cinematic moment in cinema history, but then again, with a title such as "Attack of the 50 Foot CamGirl", what did you expect?

My rating of "Attack of the 50 Foot CamGirl" lands on a four out of ten stars.

This movie didn't have to be bad. Derivative, yes, but not bad. After all, the same general formula has been used before in Attack of the 60 Foot Centerfold and Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader, both of which were surprisingly entertaining. When comparing Attack of the 50 Foot Camgirl to those films, the plot makes even less sense (starting from an already low baseline), far fewer of the jokes land (almost none, in fact), and the acting... Well, the acting is a serious contender for the worst I've ever seen.

The fatal flaw of this film, however, is the fact that none of the characters are at all likeable. They're so awful that it takes the experience from boring to unpleasant. It's obvious that we're supposed to hate our protagonist's 2-timing slimeball husband, and his sadistic, envy-stricken mistress, but even the protagonist herself is vile! On top of just generally being mean and dismissive to all the other characters, she's portrayed as incredibly arrogant, going as far as to monologue about how she will be worshiped as a god the world over. Meanwhile the side-characters are just obnoxious and gross.

At the end of the day, if you're looking for a good giantess film, you have lots of options... and this is the worst one. You can safely skip it.

This is the exact same story as The 60 Foot Centerfold, but this time you CAN sit through the whole script, because all of it is part of the thing going on.

Is it a good film? No. But it manages to be more than softcore, or product-placement.

My question though: who is our hero? Everyone is ... let's say it that way: unsympathetic. Even the three scientist side-persona. Every single one of them.
