Synopsis (without spoilers)
Cassie Stratford is a simplistic scientific nerd, whose mother was captain of the cheer squad, at the University of Costa del Hierro and president of the Zeta Mu brotherhood, so she has pressured her daughter to join the cheerleaders of the brotherhood. However, Brittany Andrews, president of Zeta Mu and captain of team cheerleaders, who has a complex of Napoleon and harlot, rejects it.

Cassie works in the Biology building at the Costa de Hierro University, where she and her friend Kyle are working on a drug that enhances their beauty. In a desperation to be beautiful, Cassie steals the drug and injects herself with it.

While she becomes beautiful, taking advantage of the opportunity that a cheerleader is injured; when she goes to the cheerleader's tests and thanks to her new face enters the squad of cheerleaders, but as always the easy path leads to the abyss, then she discovers the drug has a side effect when she starts to grow taller and taller until that she is a giant 50 feet tall.

Trivia

 * It is a typical parody of The Attack of the 50-foot Woman, that is, a cliché.
 * It has a lot of "green screen" (chroma key), but not a good quality.
 * Its plot is not original, it is one of many views of cinema: story of the unsuccessful science nerd and cheerleader who wants to be popular but does not get it and has to intervene using imaginative and scientific things to reach his potential and become the best of the best for to end with a fairy tale ending.
