Warning: Spoilers
The meek and modestly endowed Betty Downer (a solid and appealing portrayal by Jessica Zwolak) decides to get breast enhancement surgery from mad scientist Dr. Kate Thulu (broadly played with lip-smacking zest by Debbie Rochon), who turns out to be a worshipper of evil elder gods that she's trying to bring into our world with her surgical work.

Director Gregory Lamberson keeps the delightfully off-the-wall story zipping along at a brisk pace, maintains an amiable lighthearted tone throughout, and delivers a handy helping of outrageously excessive gore. The witty script by Paul McGinnis not only has some sharp and funny stuff to say about American culture's crass objectification of the female body, but also offers a wealth of sidesplitting cinematic in-jokes that spoof everything from "King Kong" to "Street Trash." Moreover, the cast have a ball with the wacky material, with especially spirited contributions from McGinnis as nice guy Tim, Michael Thurber as sleazy boss Mr. Raquel, Lloyd Kaufman as loopy shrink Dr. Foin, Sam Qualina as insensitive jerk boyfriend Dutch, and Brooke Lewis as the voice of the titular deadly bazooms. Super catchy theme song, too. A total hoot.
