Quite standard
Floated215 August 2022
This is yet another low budget B movie from acclaimed director Jim Wynorski. The synopsis essentially summarizes everything. Lead character (Ivy Smith) eats a scientific food/ experiment, not fully tested (a hotdog), first has small symptoms, then few days wakes up and becomes a giant (50 ft tall). It was apparently Ivy Smith's debut and we could tell, the acting wasn't great and the tone in her voice was never truly convincing. Christine Nguyen, a season veteran was better as expected but still we don't watch these films expecting great acting.

The film isn't really funny but isn't overly forced in its comedy. Nothing really stands out. It's silly for the sake of it. The group of three scientists are also some of the highlights.

People may be watching for skin but there isn't too much (few seconds of Ivy Smith removing her bikini and a brief stripper scene). However having watched on Tubi (free streaming service) and apparently they cut out almost entirely the opening shower scene (about 2:45 in) of Ivy Smith showing full frontal of her chest, along with completely cutting out Christine Nguyen's full frontal shower scene later in the film (around 13:45 mins). Both women do support a bikini a lot of the film.

The good thing is the very short runtime (only 1 hour). Otherwise this is a skip.

An improvement on the story
gacsogergely7 May 2022
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.

Campy sci-fi comedy...
paul_haakonsen20 January 2023
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.

Attack of the worst leading actress you will ever see
Deliberate_Stranger12 May 2022
I like some of Jim Wynorski's work, I really do. Chopping Mall and a few others are B movie classics. I used to love Full Moon back in the day. They used to produce some really cool films and Charles Band will always be a b movie legend. However, days of their glory are gone for good and whatever Full Moon releases these days(well since late 90's, really) is amateurish garbage. 'Attack of the 50 Foot CamGirl' is just that - pure, cheap garbage. Sure, there are people who watch these softocore comedies only for T&A but let's face it, you can as well watch porn. Leading 'actress' Ivy Smith looks and sounds just like a low budget porn performer. Some might find her pretty but she can't act and even though it's her first role, It's quite obvious she won't get much better. There will always be a place for fairly attractive women ready to show their skin and work for next to nothing on zero budget films but it's a blind alley. They will never be pros. Overall acting is a bad joke here. Even someone like Lisa London(who was in quite a few actual films) overacts badly. Jokes aren't funny to say the least and everything here screams 'home movie quality'. Best thing about the film is it's short running time and the miniatures. If you appreciate your time and you like decent b movies, you should skip this one. If all you need is bare skin(not much of it here, though), you will probably watch it and say it was awesome. If you support everything Wynorski and/or Band do, you will watch it anyway. And that's ok. Personally, I believe Wynorski deserves better than this.

Like a porn parody, without the sex
HumbleSolipsist26 August 2022
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.

An Assault upon your senses.
jamesbourke592 May 2022
It seriously pains me to say this, having been a longtime fan of Charles Band's going back to his Empire Days, the state of play at the House Of Full Moon is but a shadow of former glories!

There's a germ of a good idea in here, but what was needed was decent acting and most importantly a script worthy of the title itself.

Had the Director made this in the 80's the whole production would've made for better viewing but as it stands, despite some cameos from himself plus Becky LeBeau, this is woeful stuff.

Of course the sequel is forthcoming but I won't be checking it out.

Don't bother
yuhface-173461 May 2022
The acting was as believable as the lead actresses... assets. Her voice is shrill and not pleasant. The female antagonist was more believable, but the overall movie was not worth wasting an hour of my life.

Tubi SHould Pay Us for Streaming This
arfdawg-128 January 2023
This movie is free on Tubi. And there's a reason. It's horrible.

Basically, a 40 something zaftig stripper type -- who is somehow described as the "hottest" cam girl on the internet -- eats a geneticallly mnufactured carrot and grows to 50 feet tall.

You've already seen three or 4 movies like this over the years. Maybe not overweight strippers, but you get the idea.

The jokes fall flat. The acting is dismal. And the story is a mess. None of it makes a lot of sense.

There are two (2) things that are good about this movie:

1. The house the shot in is spectacular. Who did thye know?

2. The running tme is just slightly over an hour.

Lighten up people it's all good fun!
tugmyrugplz19 July 2023
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!

Really fun, campy romp - and that's the point
jason-703636 May 2022
Attack of the 50 Foot Camgirl is very self-aware - and that's the beauty of it. It pulls-off it's intent VERY masterfully - a funny, campy, clever, sexy, witty, smart romp with a talented cast that's sure to spawn a franchise and have lasting appeal as a cult fave, inline with Full Moon's classic catalog. Think of the golden era of the "Cinemax After Dark" days, where you'd find a late-night movie on TV that you'd already seen 12x but kept coming back to. Same effect.

It's just good entertainment, and great for parties. This is the kind of thing you can expect to watch repeatedly because it's so infectiously corny, chock-full of quotable lines, and some legitimately impressive special effects, both practical and CGI-based, and really good work with miniatures. It's a proper b-movie - a throwback with contemporary sensibility.

Lead actress Ivy Smith is an absolute delight in her film debut, artfully nailing her comedic timing and delivery, especially after the turn in the third act. Her dialogue is cleverly scripted and her running gags are well-placed. Her exchanges with co-stars Christine Nguyen and Lisa London are truly funny. Smith is a star on the rise, and she adequately AND graciously shares the stage.

The story's barrage of well-placed and well-delivered jokes is constant, and that's a good thing - with tons of delicious double-entendre - with a massive dose of Influencer Economy jargon, attitude, and sensibility. Smith wil have you initially despising Beverly Wood, turning your eye-rolling into laughter, and ultimately rooting for the character.

That's a solid story. That's art. And great entertainment.

Really enjoyed this fun movie with newcomer Ivy Smith!
rileyblis28 November 2022
I really enjoyed this movie with newcomer, actress Ivy Smith as Beverly Woods. Love the name Beverly Woods by the way!! Movie starts out with a spoiled camgirl, who is too into herself to notice some of the stuff going on around her; like her boyfriend slash manager cheating on her and constantly finding a way to steal some of her earnings. Movie has comedy, envy and silliness. When Beverly accidentally eats something she shouldn't, things get wild since she is turned into the 50 Foot Camgirl! But being 50 feet isn't all fun and games, no matter how much money or fame you have. This is a fun watch with friends or alone. Perfect weekend movie!!

Attack of the 50 Foot CamGirl
DarylJGittings12 February 2024
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.
