Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Diagonaldi Very well executed
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
shawneuser 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.
christopher-cole83 And then there's Attack of the 50 Ft. Cheerleader. I am a fan of the movies that are so bad, they become good for how bad they really are. Those movies are truly an art. Many times the actors try to give a believable performance, the effects department try hard, so there is an heir of seriousness about it.Trying to intentionally recreate that however is difficult. The concept of "Attack of the 50 Ft. Cheerleader" was well in line with its B-movie counterparts, but the acting felt way too forced. Plus it felt more like an excuse to show a lot of breasts. There are ways to pay homage to those great cult sci-fi classics, but this just didn't do it for me.
cr_riley-547-576517 I've already seen Attack of the 50ft Cheerleader 3 times and loved it each time. You have gorgeous women, a funny script, gorgeous women, decent acting (not Oscar worthy, but what did you expect?), gorgeous women and more. (Did I mention gorgeous women?)**SPOILER** One of my favorite parts is when she is growing and she is in class. Her shirt just keeps expanding!I love tall women. (Married to one.) It was fun seeing her physically taller than the others. Even the original Attack of the 50 foot woman didn't really have that--they didn't have the knowledge to do it back then.**SPOILER** Also loved when she was walking up the stairs, revealing herself as gorgeous for the first time.Overall a decent movie. Quirky script, but how can you beat gorgeous women? (Or did I already say that?)
Michael_Elliott Attack of the 50 Ft. Cheerleader (2012) * 1/2 (out of 4) Lame take-off on ATTACK OF THE 50 FT. WOMAN has scientist and average looking Cassie Stratford (Jena Sims) taking an experimental drug that turns her into a beauty. At first the drug is great because she looks good, makes the cheerleading squad and is popular but soon she sees the side effect in that she can't stop growing. You know, I've always wondered why some bad movies turn into cult classics that are fun to watch while others are just downright bad. It seems movies from the golden age of "so bad they're good" films just happened by chance. Moving like the original ATTACK OF THE 50 FT. WOMAN or ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES just got lucky when they became entertaining. I really do think that if you set out to make a camp film then you always fail and here's the perfect example. It really seems like everyone thought they could just make fun of the set-up and everything would fall into place but that doesn't happen. This is a pretty lame film from producer Roger Corman who thankfully makes a cameo with John Landis, which turns out to be the most memorable moment in the film. As you'd expect, there's all sorts of cute girls getting naked but there's very little outside of this. The entire story is pretty stupid, there's no laughs to be had and there's really just nothing going on here that makes you care about anything. It's overly stupid in a bad way and this is where the film tries to be camp but it just doesn't work. I thought Sims was good in her role but one wishes she had something better to work with. Fans of Sean Young might want to check out her few scenes but she doesn't get too much to do. ATTACK OF THE 50 FT. CHEERLEADER is far from a fun movie, which is a real shame.
