Plot Synopsis
Storyline
Mike thinks he's hit the jackpot when his girlfriend Nancy's kid brother, who they call Genius, creates a growth compound that results in animals growing to huge proportions. A group of delinquents led by Fred has come to town and when they get their hands the goo, as Genius calls it, their giant size make them unstoppable. While Genius tries to recreate the formula, Mike and other teenagers in town, serve the giants. Genius simply can't reproduce the formula but fortunately comes up with the next best thing.

Trivia
The fountain that Freddy Cannon sings in front of is the same one seen in the opening of Friends (1994). See more »Goofs
The first moments when we see the giant sized dog in the movie, the now large sized pet is no longer wearing his dog collar around his neck like he was previously prior to his growth. Most likely due to his having grown out of it. No point after that as a giant sized dog is he seen wearing a dog collar. Seconds after the dog is shrunk down by the antidote at the end of the film, now at his regular size he has his collar around his neck again. See more »Quotes

What do you get when you mix the children of famous Hollywood actors (Beau Bridges, Tisha Stirling and Tim Rooney), a couple of former child stars (Tommy Kirk and Johnny Crawford), a then current child star (Ron "Ronny" Howard) and a future one hit wonder (Toni "Micky" Basil) with a hack director (Burt I. Gordon). You get one of the biggest camp classics in the history of film. This film attempted to mix the then popular beach party flicks with the fading giant human pics. Gordon must have really been desperate for a hit because he figured that if he couldn't get Lloyd Bridges, Ann Southern and Mickey Rooney he could at least get their children to play in one of his quickie drive-in movie features. It's fun if you like camp, but as far as a great film, I'll stick with the films this mess rips off.
