Cockroach (Hugh Laurie) a half-ape, half-fish Darwinian oddity dubbed the Missing Link (Will Arnett) and a one-eyed splotch of Blob-like blue goo called B.O.B. Ginormica makes friends with her fellow inmates, including the brainy bug-eyed Dr. This same crowd will also note similarities to plenty of other famous 1950s and ’60s-style B movies featuring monsters (irradiated and otherwise), aliens, and rudimentary 3-D effects. The portion of the adult audience with moviegoing memories that ?extend back before R2-D2 roamed the galaxy will easily calculate that Ginormica is exactly one inch shorter than the giant femme who sought revenge on a loutish husband in the wonderfully awful 1958 sci-fi specimen Attack of the 50 Foot Woman. (The doltish groom-to-be, voiced by busy Paul Rudd, holds the classic punchline job of local TV weatherman.) Shed of her small ways, this wonder woman embraces her sky-high feminine power she becomes a female role model to, yes, look up to. For another, the sudden growth spurt saves her from an ?ill-advised marriage to a self-involved boob. For one thing, she’s now got the figure to carry the skinny-leg-jeans look. And although at first she’s understandably flummoxed by the transformation, and really steamed when military types lock her up at a top secret government compound with a hidden society of other mutated freaks, the no-longer-plain-old Susan is actually in luck. Aliens grows into her moniker the old-fashioned sci-fi way: Born plain old Susan Murphy (and voiced by Reese Witherspoon), she’s hit on her wedding day with outer-space crud from a falling meteor, causing her to expand to 49 feet 11 inches tall. As it happens, the California girl so designated in the ginormically showy but super-average 3-D animated entertainment Monsters vs.
