Crush à Altura

Some turns the movie takes are a bit annoying, and the score is too noticeable and tiresome after a while. But otherwise I actually liked it for the most part in its first hour or so. It's an innocent little teen comedy and I don't see too much wrong with that personally. However, most things toward the end are unforgivably kitschy and cringey which really brings the whole flick down by a lot. The performances, even if by people who mostly didn't act much or at all before, are very solid. Tall Girl overall is so surface level and just not good enough, even if it has some honestly good flashes of a kinda nice movie. On a sidenote I gotta say Maggie Rogers' Light On at the end was such a nice surprise, but the song was edited weirdly which sort of fits this whole movie. It could have easily been so much better, but simply wasn't in the end because of odd choices in the script which made the flick feel silly by the time the credits started to roll.

Tall girl is a movie about a tall girl. Thats the movie, and don't you dare forget it. My favorite part was when the protagonist, Jodi, was tall.

I'm not going to rant on about the plot because you can Google it but I will say that this is an adorable movie that for once didn't have the clearest ending. For once the main characters weren't 30 year olds playing 17 year olds and I think it was, overall, pretty realistic. The characters were pretty good and, as a short girl, I couldn't always relate to Jodi but the movie is about so much more than just height.

Pun aside, this is a very straightforward teen comedy. Ugly or in that case tall duckling included. It's still pretty neat and it may surprise you once or twice even if it is quite predictable overall. It is well played by the actors who have to fight through the obvious and try to maintain a mystery and suspense, even if we as viewers know better.

So overall decent, but more aimed at a certain audience who will leap this up and take it all in with gusto.

This film tells the story of a tall teenage girl who struggles to fit in because of her height.

I really really like the film. The theme is to come to terms with your insecurities, and it presents this in a spectacular manner. Everyone has their own insecurities, therefore it easily connects with people. The love story is beautiful as well. The ending is touching and it made me cry. I love this film.
