Preview Plot: Falling in love can be glorious, or poignant, or heartwarming ... but for most of us, it's mostly just absurd. And The Tall Guy captures that hysterical, head-over-heels surrealism perfectly. J...( read more read more... )

As British romances go, The Tall Guy owes more to TV's Fawlty Towers than The English Patient--but what it lacks in depth, it makes up in sheer comedy. --Grant Balfour

    Ahhh Jeff nooooooooo - this was pretty bad (but your hair in this was worse) and Rowan? You weren't cut out to play a bastardly sort; and where I admit I had a few giggles nothing could help me recover from Jeff's bad hair - and the rollicking sex scene with Emma Thompson - was just ..weird. The "Elephant!" man musical was amusing though. I had never heard of this movie nearly 20 years old now and I'm both a Goldblum and Rowan Atkinson fan. I think they must have tried to buy up all the copies of this so nobody would ever see it - hahhaa Nahhhhh I've seen worse movies - but it sure wasn't good.

    Like its lead characters, Richard Curtis' feature screenwriting debut is often funny, awkward and, while lacking polish, is ultimately charming. Emma Thompson is killer, Rowan Atkinson is amusingly abrasive, and Goldblum is pretty good -- although I couldn't quite believe that his character would so readily cause the film's major conflict. Still, it's very British fun and, as you'd expect from Curtis, has its fair share of quotable lines.

    Just a goofy, silly, romantic comedy. The "Elephant Man" musical just makes me howl every time I think about it (and cringe when I think it just might show up on Broadway someday...). Sink into the couch with a bowl of popcorn and enjoy it!

    Best sex scene in cinematic history. Bar none.
    Did I mention it's funny?

    Mel Smith's poke at Rowan Atkinson's 'Mr. Bean' is classic. I will never play SCRABBLE the same again!
