Editorial Review

A woman finds herself asking the perennial question "Does size matter?" when she discovers her husband's family are all "little people" in this eccentric comedy, which gets a straightforward DVD release. Tiptoes has been given a letterboxed transfer to disc in the widescreen aspect ratio of 1.85:1, which has been enhanced for anamorphic playback on 16 x 9 monitors. The English-language audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital 5.1, with optional subtitles in English but no multiple language options. Trailers for other Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment releases have been included as a bonus. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
