Tall Girl is a 2019 teen Romantic Comedy. It was released internationally by Netflix on September 13, 2019.Jodi Kreyman - the tallest girl in her high school - has always felt uncomfortable being herself, especially when compared to her beauty pageant queen sister, Harper.

Swedish Foreign Exchange Student, and Griffin Gluck as Jodi's beleaguered best friend.A sequel, Tall Girl 2, was released on February 11, 2022. | |

Statuesque Stunner: Jodi is this by default due to being 6'1, and fits the trope even more so after her makeover, although the fact that it makes her a bullying target deconstructs it somewhat. | |

In order to make him stay away from Jodi, Dunkleman persuades Stig to date Kimmy (the popular girl) and reject Jodi (the girl Stig genuinely liked), even telling him that popularity is more important than feelings. Stig simply follows his advice, and later Dunkleman attacks him for daring to disrespect Jodi. | |

No Guy Wants an Amazon: In the first scene, we see a boy ditching Jodi because of her tall stature, and she has always been made fun of for this reason. Downplayed, as Jodi is shown to be a Dude Magnet throughout the film, with three boys being in love with her. | |

Love Dodecahedron: Jodi likes Stig, who likes her back, but goes out with Kimmy when she asks him out first. Dunkleman has had a crush on Jodi since childhood, but she constantly rejects him until the end of the movie. Kimmy's friend Liz has a crush on Dunkleman and they go out for a while but he can't get over his feelings for Jodi. Meanwhile, Kimmy's other friend Schnipper becomes interested in Jodi after a makeover and she goes out with him to try and make Stig jealous. | |

Reality Is Unrealistic | |
Tall Girl / int_85557b38 | comment |
Reality Is Unrealistic: Lead actress Ava Michelle actually was bullied for her height back when she was on Dance Moms, yet the most common critique of this film is that the idea of anyone getting bullied for their height is unrealistic. Ava was bullied for her height when compared to her much more petite fellow dancers whereas Jody is not a dancer so is apparently bullied simply because she's 6'1. | |

Tall Girl / int_af2547c9 | comment |
Informed Flaw: Apparently, Jodie’s height is supposed to make her physically unattractive, but she’s a very pretty, blonde, and overall conventionally beautiful girl. Her outfits and hair are intentionally made to draw attention to her height, and the movie constantly points out how people pick on her for her height, including her own family, but it still falls flat. It also doesn’t help that she’s somehow the tallest girl in her massive school at 6’1” (there are plenty of women taller than that, and a ton of guys as well, yet she’s the only one picked on for it). | |

Height Angst: The central premise of the film; at 6'1, Jodi is the tallest girl at her school (and by many of the shots, one of the tallest students period) which provides her a lot of angst in her day-to-day life. Inspired in part by Ava Michelle's own experiences with bullying about her height. | |
