The Tall Guy Ratings & Reviews
El Nuevo Herald (Miami)
Rene Jordan
More disposable than kleenex. [Full review in Spanish]
Variety
Variety Staff
The fresh, alert performances add enormously to the polished sparkle of the script.
New York Times
Caryn James
It is hard to resist a story in which a man wearing an elephant head pedals his bicycle through London in mad pursuit of his true love.
New Times
Gregory Weinkauf
This is literally one of the greatest romances ever filmed. Jeff sets it up, Emma makes it brill. Now please destroy the damned American voice-over track.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Philip Martin
Mel Smith's and Jeff Goldblum's finest hour
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
The funniest bedroom scene in history (movie history, anyway!)
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
This movie is right about a great many things, one of them being that there is a market for comedy among people who were not born yesterday.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Why am I laughing more than I want to?
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Chris Hicks
If you're in the mood, you'll get some solid laughs from "The Tall Guy," but be prepared also to moan a lot.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
It's a triumph of tongue and cheekiness.
