Most of the movie was hella generic (complete with awkward self-acceptance speech at the Homecoming Dance) but the whole 'using a milk crate instead of a backpack and not explaining why until the end' was actually really cute.

In the Internet-infamous Netflix movie Tall Girl, Jack Dunkleman has been the titular tall girl Jodi Kreyman’s friend for years. He knows her birthday, her favorite color, and even the color of her eyes (blue, not green) unlike his romantic rival, Stig Mohlin. He compliments her when their peers made fun of her height. However, I think this is a prime example of when friends-to-lovers go wrong. 
The main reason being Jack is a horrible friend. While being attracted to your friend is human, persistently pursuing a romantic relationship when they’re visibly uninterested is not what a good friend does. He also sabotaged her potential relationship with Stig even though the latter did turn out to be shallow and a bully. Finally, and most egregiously, at the end of the movie, it is revealed that the reason he brings his school supplies in a milk crate is that he is waiting for Jodi to reciprocate his feelings so he can stand on the crate to kiss her. This might seem romantic at first but it means Jack sees his friendship with Jodi as nothing more than a way to get into her pants. All of these examples give us a portrait of a poor friend and a poorer love interest.
Instead of calling out the questionable nature of Jack’s behavior, the creators decided to play it straight and let Jack get the girl due to his supposed niceness, which real-life negative consequences will be explored in a later essay. If Jack/Jodi has to be the endgame couple, I suggest the writer build the relationship up better and make Jack a better friend. I personally believe, however, that Jodi ending up confident and single would have been a beautifully subversive ending and one I would have greatly preferred.

never let it be said that i don’t call out unhealthy relationships in media.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
tall girl is a prime example of an unhealthy (and honestly toxic) heterosexual relationship. this dude sneaks into jodi’s room and watches her sleep? which understandably freaks her out?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and the reason he’s been carrying around a fucking milk crate for literal years instead of a backpack (like a normal person?) is so if he ever has the chance, he can kiss her?
Tumblr media
this should ideally be a massive red flag for jodi but this movie promotes a lot of unhealthy shit so...

I recently watched the movie Tall girl.
It's just another high school movie with all the clichéd themes and feel good moments.
It had a promising premise but didn't deliver at the end.
