Because fellow student Todd (Robert Briggs) fails to notice her,
nerdy Suzi (Rachael Krupsky) decides to produce a potion to make her
really seductive. It works, & she has sex with Todd on her lab's
floor, but upon waking up is turned back nto her nerdy self again. Then
seh decides she has to drink more of the potion to make it work
permanently, but to her surprise it makes her grow 30 ft tall. Before
toying a bit with miniature Todd she decides to go to town (in the nude
of couse, since the potion did not make her cloths grow) to wreak some
havoc. Enter Todd's girlfriend Liluth, who won't let Suzi have all the
fun for herself & drinks the rest of the potion to grow equally tall
& equally nude. With Todd in hand she goes after Suzi to wrestle
her, but halfway through the fight, the girls get attracted to one
another & instead of battling they both drop Todd (literally) & make
out ... This movie - it would seem - is intended to be an
erotic spoof on 50's giant human movies like (need I say it ?) The
Amazing Colossal Man, War of the Colossal Beast or Attack
of the 50 ft Woman but falls several feet short of its intentions.
Most of all, the humour does not succeed in taking off, rarely - if ever
- elevating the movie above dire efforts of your routine weak
highschool-comedy. Secondly the effects are just plain weak, way below
the efforts made back in the 50's - now I know this was an incredibly
cheap production, & I don't expect (or even want) elaborate computer
effects, but in a stroy of giant humans, you should at least be treated
to some miniature effects (besides the characters holding a very obvious
Matell doll that's supposed to be Todd). Thirdly, the pacing is just not
there - what, for example, is the reason for showing Suzi mix the potion
for a whole 3 minutes, with nothing happening but her pouring liquids
from one container into the other, when the movie is a mere 35 minutes
long. & finally, the erotic scenes are just not that good. Not that
they are bad or anything, but little use is made of the fact that the
girls are 30 ft tall, & they touch each other only in a very
innocent way. |
