Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader

About This Movie

So, 'Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader' is a quirky blend of comedy and science fiction, and it’s pretty much what you’d expect from a film with that title. It follows Cassie, a college cheerleader who takes this experimental drug—one that ridiculously boosts her looks and athleticism. But, then she starts growing. It leans heavily into camp, with some fun practical effects that are a nod to old-school monster flicks. The pacing is brisk, keeping the laughs rolling alongside the absurdity of her situation. Performances are over-the-top, which fits the tone nicely, giving off a vibe that doesn’t take itself too seriously. If you enjoy films that play with the absurd and have a sort of tongue-in-cheek charm, this one’s got that in spades.
