Summary: Jodi (Ava Michelle) has always been the tallest girl in school — and she's always been uncomfortable with it.

After slouching her way through life for 16 years and being made fun of by classmates, Jodi meets Stig (Luke Eisner), a seemingly perfect Swedish foreign exchange student who's even taller than she is. Jodi's new crush turns her world upside down and throws her into a surprising love triangle, but with the help of her two best friends (Griffin Gluck, Anjelika Washington) as well as her beauty queen sister Harper (Sabrina Carpenter), Jodi comes to realize that she's far more than her insecurities about her appearance have led her to believe.

Tall Girl may miss, but it doesn’t miss by much. Read full review

A big problem is that the students are all affluent and status-obsessed, but the film has no temperament for self-examination: Instead of a John Hughes-style satire of class and social divides — not that acute here, to begin with — we get an uncritical depiction of homogeneous entitlement.

Honestly, y’all should watch this movie. Hands down the best movie teen rom com I’ve seen in a while. Highly recommended.

An excellent teen romcom. Does not pull any punches and is light on the schmaltz while still being very heartfelt and sweet. As a tall girl myself, this is VERY accurate to the experience and the kind of representation I've been waiting to see in cinema my whole life.

In spite of the good acceptance message that by the way, has also been seen in many other films of this same type and genre, the predictability, the cliches and the stereotypes kills this film from the get go.

I didn't see the trailer before watching it but I decided to see it after finishing it because I wanted to know how they were promoting it. And frankly the trailer tells you the whole thing, it tells you where it will go and how it will end.
So I recommend that you better watch the trailer and not watch this film, but if you dare to watch it, you will realize after the first 10 minutes of what the hell is going to happen throughout the whole story.
Total failure but what else can I say? It's Netflix's standard after all.… Expand

But allThis Netflix Original is like any typical, basic teen romcom, but extremely cringeworthy, unrealistic, and not relatable whatsoever. Nzingha Stewart was unsuccessful with making a decent teen romcom. It was obvious that the director wanted to make her movie, an original teen romcom. But all Stewart did was switch out the "loner" girl who gets made fun of because of her lower financial status or how she physically looks like or wears for an extremely tall girl from a rich community. In general, It was extra boy-centric(which was irritating) and may perceive to or encourage young audiences like me, that we should be obsessed with high school relationships, than what really matters in this world. Very disappointing.… Expand

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 sheIs 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.… Expand

The Cosmonaut Variety Hour introduced me to this movie. It is an utter mess, but an entertaining mess.
