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. Read More Read Less

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.

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.
