Attack of the 50 Foot CamGirl

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
