Tall Girl 2 (2022)

One of the worst of these type of films. Horrendous movie with an awful message for teens.

[1/10 · 28 February 2022]

I wasn't a fan of the first film as the character of Dunkleman is childish, toxic and controlling, yet gets with Jodie who isn't all that special but seems to think she is. This film takes the worst things about their personalities and amplifies them. So this time round, Jodie is even more arrogant and self absorbed and manages to only engage with people if it's beneficial to her. She is a terrible friend and a drama queen. She skips her best friends birthday to attend some cringe event where of course, the fake tears come out and everyone flocks to her aid. She seems to be oblivious to anyone else's situation or feelings. Bit most of all she is a fool for not moving on from the overly controlling and toxic that is dunkleman or dunkers to give him his even more annoying nickname. So, this guy, is just so unlikeable, pathetic and petty. He has no life outside Jodie, literally does not exist as a person without her. Gets jealous at everything. Is a hypocrite and a whiney little loser. Their story does not progress at all and every other charcter is only there setup more pettiness from the both if them. The only characters who are interesting and likable in this movie are Stig and Freeda where their relationship and friendship was actually written quite well. Horrendous film. The two main charcaters are so toxic to each other, its a terrible message for teenagers in relationships.
