Please, Enjoy This Tragical Comedy

I'm giving this five stars because it is AWESOME. It is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen, belongs right up there in the pantheon of so-bad-it's-good film classics. I'm so glad I found it. My daughter and I have been amusing each other, recalling it for days. It's so shockingly bad. The costuming, the dialogue, the editing, the direction. The writing. The premise. The acting. The special effects required to make Gary Oldman appear to be a dwarf. You have to watch the trailer first, to see it describe his part as "the role of a lifetime." Awesome. There were some parts where we had to pause it, we were laughing so hard and had to regain our composure. Although the film is quite preachy about accepting Little People as normal people with normal lives--which they are---it delivers the ultimate insult of having its lead LP role played by Gary Oldman. I will point out that the great Peter Dinklage is RIGHT THERE the whole time, in an unnecessary and ridiculous supporting role. The movie includes many award winning or award nominated actors, including Oldman, Matthew McConaughey, Patricia Arquette, Peter Dinklage, and the beautiful Kate Beckinsale, who is dressed as a clown the entire film, and acts like she is on 'ludes. Patricia Arquette, a quirkier character, is dressed, and behaves like, a crack whore who scrounged her clothes out of a dumpster behind a Salvation Army, so Kate comes off slightly better here. The plot basically revolves around Kate's pregnancy with a secret LP baby, her husband hiding his LP heritage, and totally unrealistic, hyperbolic, ridiculous reactions to just about everything, by everyone, in every scene. Please do yourself the favor of viewing how movie magic makes Gary Oldman look like a little person while sitting on a couch. (Hint: it's like when you see Elmo's whole body on Sesame Street; we were dying.) Please, please, treat yourself. Warning: eating or drinking during this movie might lead to choking.

One last thought: I wonder what the Little People community thinks about the existence of this film. I blame not the LP actors in the movie, of which there are many, as there aren't as many acting gigs for them, and they can be forgiven for thinking the movie might have been sensitive and useful-- I make the leap here of imagining the original script having been somewhat reasonable, since the thing got made and such big stars signed up for it. The mind boggles at how far it went off the rails. People of all sizes, enjoy!! .

The Movie Just Ended And I Don't Even Know What Just Happened

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2020

This movie is, without a doubt and in no way a hyperbole, the greatest piece of cinema ever made. You will literally spend every single, solitary second of this movie wondering "Why?". Just a bunch of "Whys?". Why is this person angry? WHO KNOWS?! Why are these two people kissing? WHO IS TO SAY?! Why is this person saying the exact opposite of what they were saying a second ago? WHO CARES?! HERE'S GARY OLDMAN DOING A FUNNY VOICE!!! There has to be another hour and a half of movie that was left on the cutting-room floor and it is an absolute tragedy, in every sense of the word, that the world was robbed of more of this train-wreck of a masterpiece. It is a baffling collection of random and unconnected scenes that are almost impossible to follow. Do not leave the room for even a second or you will be absolutely lost. Well, I mean, more lost than what is to be expected with this piece of high art. I love it. 10 out of 10, would never watch again.

fantastic representation of the little people and the issues that ensue in health, sickness and in living life. this film reflects and demonstrates all sides of this topic. the acting was fantastic and real. what a lovely film on a difficult topic covering the issues that little people encounter. both within family and outside the family. i recommend this film to anyone needing and wanting to understand what it takes to raise and to live among and with the little people. i hope that the character played by matthew m. came to be the man his son, his wife and his brother wanted, expected and needed him to be. but, i believe the happy ending came even if the form is began with didn't remain the same. the various characters realized eventually that they had gems in people right under their noses all along.

If you like watching trainwrecks, this is a 5 star movie.

This is a horrible movie. Of course it is, the main character who is a little person is actually an actor on their knees. It falls a bit flat in the romance department too. There is some information about life as a little person that can be gained from it. I am all for bringing awareness to diseases and how other people live but points in the movie came off more offensive then eye opening.

Even the title is bad

Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2015

As far as I can tell, Tiptoes is the sad story of a pretty horrible human being who is ashamed of his family's shared medical condition, who then loses his own family because he is unable to cope with his own son being born with the same condition. And yet, this was billed as a ROMANTIC COMEDY. The funniest parts were totally unintentional and surreal. For example, instead of feeling sorry for a dwarf played by GARY OLDMAN ON HIS KNEES, because he was just nearly strangled to death, I was picturing real Gary poking his head up through a big hole in the cushions of the couch he's "sitting on." The dialogue is awful. The "jokes" are not funny. The F-bombs are laughably peppered all over the place. Not one single actor gives a good performance, including Oldman or Peter Dinklage. Things happen for no apparent reason and are never followed up on. Just all in all an offensive movie in every sense of the word.

‘Lots of Stuff Thrown Together With Famous Actors

This was great acting in a horrible movie. I just...Huh? What did I just watch? It makes me think someone wrote the screenplay while on drugs. Scene to scene, nothing strings together. I did not laugh once. I made a lot of contorted faces, that’s for sure. Thank God another reviewer suggested watching Tosh’s review of the movie. That was absolutely hilarious and made up for the awful movie I just watched.

Many films do not make it past verbal discussion, much less get written down on page and find investors, actors, production designers, costumers, and a team of people to make it come to life. Don't ask me how Tiptoes accomplished this feat, but thank heavens it did.

Kate Beckinsdale looks uncomfortable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

I bought this film to view the acting qualities of Kate Beckinsdale but was left slightly disappointed. Not that she puts in a bad shift, but I'm not too sure she put her heart and soul into the project as she does in most of the other projects she has taken on. It left me feeling a little uncomfortable as I couldn't clearly categorise the genre of film it was trying to portray. There are moments of flippant comedy and the odd dash of deeply significant poignancy here, but overall it didn't convince me it was strong enough to be classed either a drama, life-adventure or comedy. Whilst I take my hat off to Kate Beckinsdale who, not for the first time, showed she is prepared to take on a more demanding role and not settle for just another run-of-the-mill Rom Com however, she doesn't quite pull this off. There are several star performances here though, but sadly Kate was not one of therm. Still, it can be purchased at a very reasonable price, so if nothing more than (another Beckinsdale movie), I suppose it is pretty good value for money. If you're not a fan though, in my opinion it is not worth a viewing.

Odd, but entertaining

Sort of straight to video fare, but it has its appeal. If you're too shy to buy dwarf porn, this gives you a sample. It gave me a curios dream the night after i watched it, but the odds of me trying that with a dwarf in real life are pretty slim. Or should that be short?
