Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader

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.

This movie is just so hilariously bad there's no need to point out why. You KNOW it's bad from the get-go and the title. I watched it assuming that was the case and was still entertained...to a point.

The main actress Jena sims is absolutely stunning in the title role. She will be proud of this when she's 50. She looks like every 18 year old college freshman's fantasy girl (even before she enlarges!) and that hair!

It reminds me of the cheap movies USA up all night with Rhonda Shear used to play in the 90's...just un-edited for cable. There is ample topless-ness in this movie (But they are obviously fake so make of it what you will)

If you are under the influence of ANYTHING fun and have 85M to waste, you could do a LOT worse. If you are sober do NOT attempt this movie or you will suffer eye rolling, mouth agaping and constant pointing out the cheesiness of the FX, Sets and Dialogue...beware, not for you!!!

This farce is by far one of the WORST so called" movies" of ALL time! Bad acting,concept, casting, and the script must have been written under the influence of HEAVY DRUGS!! Treat Williams and Sean Young HAD to be desperate or clinically INSANE to act in this farce!

It was low key porn mixed with the WORST CGI I have ever seen! My eyes are actually BLEEDING!!

Do yourself a HUGE favor avoid this DUMPSTER FIRE of a flim. To add to the foolishness they renamed it BLUE RESIDENTS!!

This is such a mess, the makers and writers should be criminally CHARGED with felonius assault, with intention to cause BLINDNESS!!

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.

Ahh - here's another flick - that (much like "Girls Gone Dead") some people can't seem to enjoy for whatever reason. Is today's generation too serious? Not every movie needs to deliver a deep philosophical undertone and dark punch-line.

Growing up on things like Joe Bob Briggs and all things 80's (and pushing 40 myself) - how could I resist a movie that features Ted Raimi; John Landis; Treat Williams; Sean Young; Roger Corman himself and even a (hilarious) cameo from John Landis?

This flick is a nice satire on "Attack of the 50ft Woman" - and includes some memorably campy moments - and gobs of female nudity.

On the downside - some of the effects work is pretty bad - and NOT in a good way - which; surprisingly made the viewing experience a bit worse (as opposed to the usual cheese which heightens the B movie experience).

Either way - it's good to see popcorn movies like this are still being made - and I hope there continues to be an audience for good old fashioned fun. I can't take anymore "reality-based" PG-13 horror flicks and torture porn diatribes.

Surprised this one slipped under the radar - but I was lucky enough to catch in on Netflix.
