Synopsis:
From Richard Curtis, writer of Notting Hill and Four Weddings And A Funeral, The Tall Guy is a sharply funny story punctuated by the likeable comic chemistry of Jeff Goldblum and Emma Thompson. Awkward and out-of-place, Dexter (Goldblum) is a hard-luck American actor struggling to get by on the theatrical stages of London. His dreary personal life, however, gets a much-needed shot in the arm when he meets a pretty nurse (Thompson) during one of his many visits to the local clinic! Together they find love... but when your life is like Dexter`s, it`s hard to know a good thing when you get it! With a scene-stealing performance by Rowan Atkinson and a stellar cast, The Tall Guy is smart, charming and hilarious.

Your Opinions and Comments
The main characters are a joy to watch, and with a script full of genuinely original style and wit, the awkward chemistry between Thompson and Goldblum keep the pace of a relatively tired storyline going throughout.
A movie that shines above Curtis` other offerings and is a must for any fans of his work or indeed anyone who likes good romantic movies.
Hugely let down by the lack of extras though.
