Review of Tall Girl (2019) by The3Academysins — 02 Oct 2019

Is this "The Room" of Netflix? No, but it's pretty darn close. I'll start with the positives, as there are far less of them: the cinematography is halfway decent. That's about it. The negatives are numerous and enjoyable. The script is atrocious. It treats the eponymous "Tall Girl" as if she is some ugly, hideous creature that no one could ever love, but in reality she is just tall and rich! She's not ugly at all. It tries way too hard to build this cliche Beauty and the Beast narrative, and it fluctuates on whether or not the short love interest is a lady slayer or a creep. The Swedish character is played by a really bad actor, who definitely has some Tommy Wiseau vibes. The sister character is like an anime villain. No joke. The popular girl clearly has deep set insecurities, but the writing does not match up with the performance! There are some real gems of dialogue in here too. My favorite was "I'm gonna put my big feet on your tiny nards." Also, the word "tall" is said probably about once every minute. Who wrote this????????

It's really hilarious to watch. I can recommend this as a bad movie to watch with friends, and that's about it.
