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, director Nzingha Stewart's first feature film, is a heartfelt and hilarious coming-of-age story about finding the confidence to stop slouching and stand tall.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

While charming at times, Tall Girl is mostly an uninspired teen comedy that fails to bring anything new to the genre.

Tall Girl | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Anne Cohen Refinery29 On the whole, it's a charming movie about the mental toll of insecurity that also has major blind spots. Sep 13, 2019 Full Review Tall Girl | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Elisabeth Vincentelli New York Times America's mood has changed, and many viewers might not feel much empathy for the small-minded grievances of wealthy teens who drive to school in S.U.V.s. Sep 13, 2019 Full Review Tall Girl | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Caroline Siede AV Club From a one-note mean girl stereotype to a complete disinterest in how social media shapes the lives of teens, Sam Wolfson's lackluster script fails to bring anything new or timely to the teen rom-com table. Rated: C+ Sep 13, 2019 Full Review Tall Girl | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Lonita Cook KCTV5 News at 9 A really strong teen movie. Sep 20, 2021 Full Review Tall Girl | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Deirdre Molumby entertainment.ie Tall Girl is not a movie with depth, though it is more charming than you'd expect. It's just such a shame about that ending. Oct 15, 2019 Full Review Tall Girl | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media Coming-of-age comedy about feeling different; mild cursing.

Vincent G I struggled to find any redeeming qualities in this film, except for the main actor’s earnest attempt to bring the script to life. Unfortunately, the soundtrack was dull, the script lacked engagement, and the acting came across as immature.0,5/5 Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review Jereme O the writer brings it to life and shows the understanding of how the world looks through bullying. Its a great moment when you need to rise up and stand for your self and others Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/26/24 Full Review Tatum M Not worth your time… this movie is cringy and also don’t get me started on the weird kiss in the escape room that scene made me want to hide in the covers. You should just watch High School Musical or Descendants instead if your looking for a movie to watch with your tween. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review Prosperity M It was not that captivating and it told a narrative that has been heard before so was very typical Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review B M 6'1 is not that tall Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/01/24 Full Review Rory M This movie has a lazy plot bad acting awful characters that have no personality, no one in this movie is even remotely close to what young people look/speak/act like but I love how deliciously terrible it is Sabrina Carpenter jump scares every few minutes it is so incredibly bad and I adore with all my heart I anxiously await the 3 movie Tall Girl: Tokyo Drift Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
