Member Movie Reviews Sharon F. (Shar) from AVON PARK, FL Reviewed on 9/1/2022... A very interesting and funny take on an ignored subject...dwarfs! Matthew McConaughey's girlfriend (Kate Beckinsale) meets his twin brother, who happens to be a dwarf for the first time. Then her parents meet his parents, who happen to be dwarfs also. 2 of 3 member(s) found this review helpful.  Averi K.

I usually don't like this type of movie, but it was worth the watch. 0 of 2 member(s) found this review helpful. Pamela S. from BEEBE, AR Reviewed on 6/10/2009... Interesting movie about little people. Not a family movie, yet a "Hallmark style" movie for adults. Although my prefernce is for romantic comdies, I found this movie quite enjoyable and just the right length. 5 of 7 member(s) found this review helpful.
Movie ReviewsWhat is wrong with you, people? lyeri | California | 04/10/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have to say I LOVED this movie. It was very refreshing. I am someone who has spent 15 years working with children with special needs and has seen the problems regarding acceptance of the situation (having an "atypical" child) - especially from fathers -, which was accurately depicted in this movie. I enjoyed seeing the culture of "little people" as a minority group in our "oh-so-obsessed-with-our-looks" society. Yes, the characters were somewhat over-simplified in some instances but it didn't take away from the charm of this nice little movie. I felt that the actors made the best out of their roles (especially Gary Oldman, oh, man!). I would highly recommend this movie to anyone looking for something different from the usual "mainstream" movies." Atrocious T. Snyder | AZ | 11/08/2005 (1 out of 5 stars) "After reading the case, I rented this at Blockbuster based on the top-notch cast and what sounded like a good, cute, funny plot. Tiptoes is none of those things. The acting was bad and that was surprising given the cast. I could not feel any sort of connection between Matthew McConaughey and Kate Beckinsale - much less that they could be living together and expecting a child. Gary Oldman is painful to watch - he hobbles around cramped into a dwarf outfit. Very Dorf-ish. And I have no idea what Peter Dinklage and Patricia Arquette added to the movie. They seem like they are from a completely different movie. The acting seems like it was done in one take. It was very painful trying to make it through 90 minutes of this trainwreck. All and all, a total disaster." So much potential, so little running time. D. Knouse | vancouver, washington United States | 08/10/2004 (2 out of 5 stars) "This started off as a fairly unique film with many characters portrayed by "little people" with some fairly decent acting. Then the script segues into the troubles Matthew and Kate are having while trying to raise a newborn dwarf. They eventually seperate, then they meet to see where they stand, then the movie ends. I was shaking my head as the credits rolled, "What happened to that other character?" "Is that last scene supposed to be some sort of vague resolution?" It was baffling. The whole side-story with Patricia Arquette in love with one of the dwarves is completely forgotten. Also, we are led to believe the two main characters have careers as a painter(Kate Beckinsale) and a Navy man(Matthew McConaughey) who now trains firefighters with one scene having her painting and only a couple scenes showing him shouting/speaking to his trainees. At no time did I believe they were these characters. Also, Kate Beckinsale, while talented and gorgeous, simply needs better dialogue. She seems to be forcing the words out while ignoring any or all emotional conotation therein. In fact, the only performance of any special note here is Matthew McConaughey. He has a few splendid scenes in which he buries all the other actors attempting to steal the scene from him. There are a couple of scenes where he is sincerely emotional and the other actors look like deer caught in the headlights of a Mac truck. There are so many scenes left unexplained, so many characters that are chucked aside for a potentially engrossing story that never comes to fruition, that I cannot recommend buying this film. An original idea, a single standout performance, but not much else here is at all noteworthy. Sorry."
