Attack of the 50 Foot CamGirl (2022)
Really fun, campy romp - and that's the point
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.
