Attack of the 50 Foot CamGirl

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
