The love interest they choose instead is so often kinda trash as well...like if you pretend it's okay for me to leave when I'm busy and then get angry about it....over a *3 month* anniversary?! Nope. I've been in toxic relationships before, I have a zero tolerance policy now.

@@morley364 I give them the benefit of the doubt, since we are talking about teenagers, who clearly haven't being in a relationship before. Their fights seemed kinda childish.

@@melvv18 That's true. I want more teen romances to show people going "hey this relationship is actually not the end-all be-all of my life, let's just try to grow as people!" because I think everyone, but especially young people, really put too much weight on relationships in a way that can be really emotionally damaging and encourage them to stay in relationships that aren't healthy or beneficial.

[@adrikosmos]

I am a 6 2 woman who was bullied for being tall, but I agree these movies blow it way out of proportion… Like it was always kids in school who said mean things, and they also said mean things about things besides my height. That’s what real bullying is-they find what you’re insecure about and pick at it. It would have been so much better if they would have focused more on Jodi’s self worth from the beginning and made it clear that her delusions were very much just insecurities in her own head. The fact that they tried to spin it as if she was actually oppressed is laughable. If this movie was out when I was a kid, it definitely would have made me feel like crap lol

[@TriggerBud]

This is exactly what I was thinking lol. The entire movie I just kept waiting for them to show us how “smart” they were by having Jodi realize that it was all in her head. I kept waiting until the scene where she pops out in that little boy blue suit and lost it. I laughed until my sides hurt. I was shocked it was the actual storyline, I thought there was no way 🤣🤣

[@jeidei8943]

My name's Maude which, according to this video gives me lots of problems

[@leahunfeigned5955]

I'm only 5'2" so I have no idea what being bullied for being tall is like. However, the one that plays Jody is Ava from Dance Moms and she actually was harshly bullied for her height and thinness. Mostly by Abby Miller and social media. Abby talked about her body proportions and said she looked like a praying mantis when dancing. Social media called her gangly and anorexic looking. The bullying started when she was only 12 and continued through the years. Ava was highly affected by the bullying but now she's a beautiful model and budding actress. I'm saying this to say that everyone handles things differently. What may not be that huge a deal to one person can decimate another person's self-esteem and self-worth. We shouldn't downplay someone else's suffering because we can't relate or they seem privileged. Privilege doesn't stop internal pain.

[@amberdotpng9670]

@@leahunfeigned5955 that’s all true! but this movie is unfortunately not about ava’s personal experience and is set in a high school where being tall wouldn’t be as much of a big deal

[@leahunfeigned5955]

@@amberdotpng9670 Except many have said they have been bullied in school for being tall lol. Ava was in middle and highschool when that happened, hence why the role means something to her. Again, we can't downplay others'feelings because we can't relate or we're not as bothered. I've seen children brutally teased and beat up for being too tall, too short, too skinny, too fat, having too much acne, being too dark or too pale by people's idiotic opinions. Who are we to say what isn't a big deal to a victim? My point is judgement is easy but so is empathy.

Honestly the concept of being oppressed for tallness seems a lot more distasteful when you take into account people with dwarfism. Like, I have a sibling with dwarfism and they deal with shit constantly. They legit, as an adult, open the door to their house and get folks like "can i talk to your parents". This is like the tip of the icebergs of their problems. Like this movie needs to shut up about being literally a super average height. What the hell

[@NothingGoodHere1001]

LITERALLY THO!! People with dwarfism are disrespected CONSTANTLY! Yet I'm supposed to believe a girl that's 6'1 is supposedly going through it with everyone??? She's not even like uncommonly tall; Even for a girl, no one is gonna be mocking you constantly for being 6'1 (at most random comments from new people, but people who see you everyday at school will quickly lose interest bcs you're not the tallest person they've ever seen lol)😭😭 If she was at least 7'0 I could see more people making her out to be a spectacle (I also feel like less people are likely to try and bully someone bigger than them tbhlol

[@TriggerBud]

@@NothingGoodHere1001 Seriously, spot on. No one fricken mocks a girl for being 6ft. In fact, everyone’s jealous. I worked with my boyfriends sister for about 8 months in a clothing store and she is also 6ft 1in. To be completely honest, she gets near constant comments about it, but all of those comments are in admiration or straight jealously. She is BEAUTIFUL and stands out even more so because she is so perfectly tall. That’s part of what cracks me up/pisses me off so much about this movie. Everyone WANTS to be that girl. I’ve seen it first hand lmao

I see the point you’re making here and I’m not saying that tall girl handled things well but you’re logic is kinda weird ‘people who have dwarfism exist and have more struggles so tall people can’t have struggles;’ - those two are completely unrelated. I think a more relevant point would be (like the person above mentioned) that people with gigantism exist and have more genuine suffering than a girl who is tall and has no other issues to come with it.

[@mikaylamcfadden7866]

Body type is a big deal in dance and gymnastics. Dance values a certain look and also types of dance are designed for certain types. Gymnastics favors a certain height especially comparatively. Also performing arts schools/dance schools in particular tend to breed competition and toxicity. I could see someone being picked on for insecurities and also limited by being different.

The girl playing Jodi was bullied for being tall. But she also wasn't high school bullied, she was on dance moms where a grown woman constantly bullied her for it. I think 8t would have been kinda cool to play with that. Replace Angela and her too many suitors with an outright villain step mom who focuses on Jodi's height which leads to her worry and obsession about it. Also burn that prom outfit I still can't believe they thought that would serve.

I’ve found myself having to say “hey guys, she’s literally 10, can you not?” just about daily.

It just reminds me how a lot of people's way of "accepting" mixed people is just fetishizing us or using us for social justice points but we aren't really looked at as a serious option in the long term when it comes to relationships. This has come up a lot in dating for me and it really sucks so even tho it's sorta realistic I'd just like to change this format that's to prevalent in romance stories because it's super disheartening to see mixed people always being put as second best when compared to a full white person.

Totally fair. I personally do remember a lot of girls getting bullied for being “different” in general- race, gender expression, body size, physical ability, religion, etc. in specific activities. It happened a lot in dance, competitive cheer, and theater when I was a kid into when I was a teen, and even into adulthood I still see ridiculous type-casting happening in the theater world. It’s getting better, but still. So yeah, it can happen, and my theory is maybe the films came out of Jodie’s experiences in competitive dance (I think I remember she was on Dance Moms or something idk), but yeah, I still mostly agree the first film isn’t well done or even necessary. But this sequel is definitely better!! So huzzah for growth!?

[@sweetie_babie]

From my experience, the "ex being off limits" thing is more about "when did those feelings start". If we just broke up like a month ago and you saying "hey, your ex is fine, I wanna date him" it's... weird. It's typically when the relationship ending happened less than a year ago. It's not about the exes' feelings toward each other, it's about "were you secretly pinning over my ex when we were actually together?" "Are you a bad friend?" If y'all haven't dated for five years, will not date again, the break up was mutual or understandable, and there was no abuse involved, I don't think anyone I know would have an issue with that

[@mari13ssaTheStrange]

I got super bullied at school for my height 6'1" uniforms didn't really fit for long and we couldn't afford more, also super pale. I was bullied heavily, also I grew up in Texas and southern México and was the tallest in the school for a long time. I kept getting tripped and they yelled timber, pretended there was an Earthquake when I walked, it's not very common to be so tall there and honestly in the movie she doesn't really get bullied. Now as an adult my height is just an inconvenience at most time but I no longer hate it as much. It all was okay after going to a concert. And the stranger comments are super common, specially from creepy old men or younger guys who are shorter than me being like "no you're Definitely at least 6'4, cause I'm 6'2" annoying as hek.. I hate this movie so much because there can be real struggle and real bullying that happens. But, I hate how close it is to my life in a lot of ways, my sister is shorter and gorgeous and won beauty contests at school, heck my best friend's name is Fre'etta, so fucking close. Honestly, I think the writer heard about me and made this 😂 but did a terrible job.

[@thegoosegirl42]

has anyone ever been bullied for their height past elementary school? as someone who was and still is super short, literally not a single person in high school cared about that shit

[@thetiktokpenguin4343]

I knew a girl in 5th grade who was taller, but it was more of that she looked way older than the rest of the kids at the school. Like she got mistaken often as an 15-16 year old TA than a elementary student. It was more of a shock for the parents, but the rest of us didn’t really care after the first week since she was a part of the class and was a pretty decent person to everybody

[@smalltree4431]

In my personal experience as a taller female if you're to get any sort of negative response from anyone after elementary, it's from the adults. When I was in high school I was just shy of 6ft and I kid you not. If I had to wear something nice for a presentation in class and I chose to wore heels, I knew not to go by certain teacher's classrooms because they always had something to say. And usually along the lines of "you're tall enough. So why are you wearing those." So not bullying, but unnecessary comments. Or in my life outside of school there has been times where I've been stopped by people I don't know and 9/10 the aspects of sports or modeling would come up. I do neither. And once I say so, I've experienced a quite a few that's caught a bit of an attitude. "Oh if I had that height I would..." "You're wasting potential..." Etc. So long story short (I really didn't mean to make it this long) it's not so much bullying, but people feeling the need to shove their notion of stereotype onto people that fit the bill.

[@savedbythecoke]

After elementary school the most anyone said about my height was that it was cute tbh. I'm 5ft nothing 😂

The whole premise of the movie is so fuckin funny to me because Jodie is JUST 6'1ft! That's not even that tall 😭 I'm 6' ft and I genuinely wanna be taller. The only downsides of being tall is finding jeans and people putting you in charge of shit because you're the bigger person in a group or men sexualizing you because you look older.

[@blueharmonica3606]

as a tall girl the only interest i would have in a movie/tv show that focuses on a character being tall would be the insecurity/disconnect from femininity. i feel like this movie tried to do that just not very well. and when i say this i mean maybe a plus sized tall woman character. im an admittedly tall thin girl however i’ve lost weight, and that’s why. in addition to this i’m bigger boned so i’ve slightly felt the need to make myself shrink in other ways (like weight) to fit in, if that makes sense. however i think a movie or tv show that focuses on the struggle of a true plus sized tall girl struggling with that issue (compensating for tallness in other ways) would be a much more interesting and realistic telling. i think the concept in general would be better suited for a character in a show rather than the plot for a movie or movie series though. edit: i believe this series made it seem like tallness is very ostracized by society which it’s just not. or at least not in that obvious of a way. the weirdest comments i’ve ever gotten were in middle school about “oh you’ll have nba babies” (which is eh to begin with but not a huge deal). idk point being the *few* struggles of being a tall woman are much more subdue than they portray it. however these issues are more magnified when you add things like being plus-sized, etc onto it.

[@charlottedekievit3874]

I’m tall and a bit more on the masculine side and have always wanted to be more petite so I kinda get where you are coming from (idk if I used the right terminologies)

[@cremepuffle]

Tallness in women is ostracized though when the average woman is thin and like 5’3. People look at tall women like circus acts, if shes not made fun of shes the thing everyone oogles at and wonders how she lives a normal life🤷‍♀️

[@oszaszi]

Tall girl is based on a manga called "lovely complex" The manga is a really good read for teen audiences. It is actually making 100% sense for a Japanese school girl to be having these issues, when they are 6ft+. As in Japan the avg. height size is much smaller. As 6ft you wold tower over majority of the population. The manga details the social anxiety in a teen girls mind and flashes out that her fear is based on superficialty and dives into accepting oneself even if society looks at you as a unicorn. Even the Swedish exchange student makes so much sense in the manga as again, Japan is notoriously not having too many "outsiders" due to cultural differences and very heavy xenophobic mindset. All of this, however, makes zero fucking sense in an American freaking setup... the movie writers should have realized this...

[@mariposa3859]

Exactly, I thought this would work wonderfully in an Asian setup..didn't know that it was based off a manga.

[@stephi3548]

Is it really based on LoveCom or is it just a coincidence? I noticed the parallels too, except as you said the conflict in LoveCom made a lot more sense given the social context, and was far more nuanced. I think if the writers had indeed been inspired by Lovely Complex, it would have been nice if they'd taken more cues about the 'real' conflict of the manga, which is not so much about the horrendous struggles of being tall, but navigating the attraction and then relationship between a taller-than-average girl and a shorter-than-average boy. Even the fact that the tall Koizumi falls for the short Otani first is kinda subversive.

[@MyStardollVideos]

Lovely Complex is elite but I’m pretty sure Tall Girl wasn’t based on it, they’re not similar at all lmao

[@ToruKun1]

Saying Tall Girl is based on Lovely★Complex is a HUUUUGE reach, the protagonist in Love★Com is only 5'8", that's tall by Japanese women's standards but it's nothing in America. Plus doesn't she become a manzai comedy act with her short king love interest? Yeah, these two things have barely anything in common.

[@missserenity1090]

Also they have uniforms in most of the schools in Japan right? I could see getting fitted for that possibly being a pain.

What is with movies and having swedish characters in them and then just naming that character the OLDEST of old-people names? Stig means "path" or "trail" and is indeed an old norse name(I also don't know anyone youngest than 55 with that name). We weren't very inventive when it came to names back in the days... like we still use viking names like "Bear" and "Stone"(Doesn't sound as silly in swedish). Can't non-swedes come up with more common "young people" names? Like Sara, Dennis, Adam, Cecilia... I guess they don't "sound swedish".. but f*ck stereotypes.

Re: Girl Code - I had two of my exes dated by my friends after I broke up with them and with the one who was decent, I was like "yes, please, take him" and with the one who was my evil ex I was like, "well, no I'm not going to be mad at you about it, but just, like....watch out and take care of yourself, okay?" And neither of them were very long relationships, and me and the girls were able to laugh and compare notes about it later. It's not worth losing friends over to feel jealous of a guy you're not even with anymore.

[@prettygirl6994]

Honestly if you as an individual is ok with that then that is ok. At least your friends were honest with you. Some people lie about stuff like that. But I personally don’t toss guys I talk to with my friends. I’m not talking to no guy that my friend has kissed, slept with, dated. It’s not about being insecure or jealous but just simply setting a boundary. However with this situation I don’t think the best friend meant any harm to Jodie and Jodie was ok with it so that’s them.

Not to defend the premise of Tall Girl, but I will say that I can sort of understand why Ava Michelle would feel connected to a character like Jodi given her background with Abby Lee Miller As a child, this grown ass woman was constantly bullying her for her height on Dance Moms and I can certainly see how this would effect how she felt about herself and her height as a she grew up, and having a childhood like that likely really distorted her view of how the society views people based on their height
