Review of Tiptoes (2002) by Buddy K — 04 Jun 2011
Surprisingly enough, the portrayal of little people was the one positive thing about this film (except for the acting performances, particularly from Oldman, Arquette and Dinklage) being that it was refreshingly varied and felt genuine and objective.
Even though the film and the poor excuse of a plotline dealt with issues (both social and medical) that little people have to face, the characters themselves were not reduced to stereotypes at all, and that was a joy to witness.
Howver, the actual story and the script in which it was told, was unbelievably bad. I was actually shocked by the abrupt and anti-climatic ending, and then I'd suffered through three unprovoked and uncaracterised fade to black's in the last portion of the film as well, and still the horrendous ending managed to shock me.
