Tall Girl 2 Review—What Works

In Tall Girl 2, we meet back up with Jodi Kreyman (Ava Michelle) as she struggles between her newfound popularity from Tall Girl and her relationship with Jack Dunkleman, a.k.a Dunks (Griffin Gluck). While Tall Girl focused heavily on her height, Tall Girl 2 follows more of a traditional coming-of-age story, including tackling topics such as self-doubt & anxiety and trying to conquer those fears. 

At one point in the film, Harper tells Jodi, “There’s no worse bully than the one you create in your own head.”  We can all relate to imposter syndrome in some way. 

Overall, Tall Girl 2 seems to accomplish what it sets out to do for the most part. Being popular only gets you so far. Being comfortable in your own skin is part of the battle. Regardless of how popular or put together, you are, there will always be something nagging at you, a little voice inside your head trying to bring you down.

Tall Girl 2 Review—What Doesn't Work

There are a few moments in Tall Girl 2 that might give teens an idea to behave in a manner that is inconsistent with how parents encourage their kids to behave. From Dunkleman skipping school to choosing a partner for the purpose of making another person jealous, some of the actions seen in the movie are not actions most parents

About Tall Girl 2

After her inspiring speech at the homecoming dance, Jodi (Ava Michelle) is no longer just the “tall girl”—she's popular, confident, has a boyfriend, and just booked the lead role in this year's school musical. But as the pressure of her newfound popularity intensifies, so do her insecurities, and new relationships are formed while old ones are tested. As the world she built starts to crumble around her, Jodi realizes that standing tall was only just the beginning.
