Attack of the Ft. Woman (50 ) Movie Review

A campy remake of the 1958 sci-fi cult classic that tries to expand on the original's subtle humor and feminist overtones. This new version features the statuesque Daryl Hannah in the title role. As Nancy, Hannah's kept in a state of childish dependency by her domineering father (William Windom) and sleazy hubby (Daniel Baldwin). But after a close encounter of the enlarging kind with a flying saucer, Nancy finds that both her physique and self-esteem are steadily growing – like 50 feet worth. After some initial trauma and humiliation, big Nancy decides it's payback time. If you've ever wanted to see Daryl Hannah trash a city, here's your chance. It may not top the original, but it's colorful and amusing, and Hannah makes an attractive and sympathetic heroine. Fun and thrills of gigantic proportions! Originally made for television.
