Another role that no one wants to see McConaughey in. He needs to abandon all the horrible chick flicks and go play a beefy part. Otherwise this movie is funny and its sad - just like life.
Not perfect, but well done.. the ending was very sad to me.. It's hard to understand Mathew McConaughey's character.. first he's one way.. then athe reverse.. I don't know.. In one way the end is really uplifting in another it's really the opposite...
Kate Beckinsale looks great in this.. I'd have to say she looks better in this than any other movie I've watched her in.. although some of the things they do with the hair are WAY too much..
Definately not an award winning movie, but.. overall very interesting.
Ok this isn't the best movie ever but it deals with an issue msot of us are unawre of...plus Gary Oldman proves that he is a great actor even when he's really short!
Its a soft drama, delving into the issue of an unwanted child. And little people. McConaughey ends up being an asshole and Oldman saves the day. Beckinsale plays an inspiring artist with the weight of the world on her shoulders. Great film.
Matthew McConaughey and Kate Beckinsale display in Tiptoes that they are more than just pretty faces and Gary Oldman does extremely well although the movie ended rather subtlely.
"JUST SAY IT, HE'S A DWARF...AND I'M A DWARF" ............................................................... Like a Public information film about dwarfs...this makes most TV movies look like oscar winners The dialogue is contrived "What was his life like? , "he had a hard time because he is diffrent", "oh thank you for informing me of this" etc etc, it was embarrssing to watch sometimes and considering the cast as well it's even more of a faliure. it could very wel be that this movie on paper was pure gold, but bad direction and no thru line of a story just slowly strangles this movie before it even gets a chance to get going. You can kind of see the glints of hope, but you just give up about half way thru with the constant heavy handed nature of this movies less than subtle message. ........................................................... "DON'T CALL THEM MIDGETS, YOU'LL OFFEND A LOT OF PEOPLE"
Nothing fantastic, considerably more drama than comedy, but quite a good film over all. worth watching just to see kate beckinsale in some rather tasty get-ups :)
