Y'all Girl is about a story of a young girl in an extremely conservative town in the south (I'm seeing Texas, somewhere with wheat fields) and her struggle in realizing she's a lesbian. A new student enters her class and it's a girl from the city and she immediately has a crush. Awkward, the protag's first word to the girl is 'yall'. Then it's a montage of them falling in love and with an Oscars winning shot of them lying in the wheat fields together.

He obsesses over Jodie for years in the first movie despite her repeatedly saying she isn’t interested, acts weirdly pervy towards her before theyre even together, an acts like he deserves a relationship because of how long he’s been in love with her. In the second movie, he projects his jealousy and insecurities onto Jodie to the point of overlooking her obvious anxiety, and then gets offended that’s she too stressed to appreciate his pretentious romantic gestures. He claims to care about her but only insofar as he can gain her romantic attention. If I were dating him, I’d be worried that any little thing I said would trigger his insecurities and send him on some guilt trippy rant to make everything about him.

Short guys and tall girls probably. It’s nice to see a short guy and a tall girl break the heterosexual couple stereotype. I think that’s the main reason why the people who like this movie like it (including me)

My husband is 15” (38cm) taller than me, and there are no milk crates. I take advantage of steps & curbs for same-level smoochin’, or he uses his human joints and BENDS DOWN

She is like what 6’1”??? I’m 6’3” and I’m not even as tall as some of the other girls I was teammates with (I played volleyball) I played with a girl that was 6’7” and still growing. I think she ended up at 6’10” or 11” and she was thriving. She even wore heels regularly and is dating a guy my height (that she calls short)! She and I would complain about how showers are never high enough, how painful car/plane rides are, how hard it was to find any clothes at all in our respective sizes. We never once complained to non tall people or even made it seem like they were the worst problems in the world or even OUR worst problems.

What do you mean they ruined Dunkleman? He was always like that. He was not too good for Jodie. He was an obsessive Nice Guy who wouldn't take no for an answer and deliberately tried to ruin a relationship. Ngl it was really weird to hear him called a king this whole video

I was 6ft tall in high school but that honestly wasn’t the biggest of my problems at all? Like being the only out lesbian at school, struggling with toxic friendships and mental illness were much bigger issues for me.

Honestly, being in an American High School should be a bigger struggle for her than being tall

Already got a pitch for the 3rd one, cause you KNOW there's gonna be one, as is tradition with these Netflix movies. She starts looking at colleges, which means campus tours. Lets say there's more than one she's looking at, which means potentially she could be looking at doing different things at each one. Also, one thing these movies have going for it that KB didn't: Jodie is not a Mary Sue, meaning she has things to be looking at schools for. In this case, music, drama, and English. But what she didn't expect was to discover that yes, there IS a whole world outside of high school, where nobody knows her past, and so many different people taller than her. Which naturally makes Dunk upset because he'd just assumed they'd go to the same school. And does his jerk thing AGAIN. But this time JODIE breaks up with HIM, because again, now that she knows life doesn't end at high school, she's starting to realize how trivial everything in high school actually is. And when it comes right down to it: whatever it is she sees in him, at the end of the day, Dunk is only the high school boyfriend, and until he decides to grow up and figure out who he is when not being obsessed with Jodie, that's all he'll ever be. Flash forward: they meet up again, but surprise: Jodie is happily married, but Dunk has finally grown up and recognized where he went wrong, and that she did the right thing breaking up with him. And then Liz, the girl that liked Dunk in the first one, shows up and one of them asks for a do over. They do, and it's left ambiguous on whether anything happened after that.

That would actually be somewhat nice. Would continue the trend of the movies getting better.

I think it's weird that dunkleman had been asking jodi out for Years despite her saying no multiple times and stayed friends with her for the soul purpose that they might date.

“It’s just a horrible part of life that never goes away, like Maroon 5” Okay that’s a great line though

Jodi is so tall, they needed two movies to capture her struggles

The way my eyes rolled into the back of my head when I saw that this movie does what literally every other sequel to a bad/mediocre movie does which is add a racially ambiguous second love interest to rival the main character’s white boyfriend

I think this movie should have focused on Swedish boy and pep-talk Black girl. They had far better chemistry and seemed to have good conflicts to explore. Being supportive and how far is too far, even if you mean well.

I feel so bad for this girl she gets made fun of so much for being in these movies, but i dont think people remember she was the one humiliated on dance moms for being too tall. Abby literally kicked her off the team for being too tall on national television. I'll support anything she does bcs if she handled that and came back to make a movie referring to her tallness is a boss move!!! I wish people gave her some credit

We had to lose the MCU Netflix series to get a sequel to TALL GIRL This is just unfair lol

It still very much bugs me how her problem in the first movie wasn't even her being tall it was her not being capable of making an exception and dating someone shorter than her.

As "someone with cancer", girl, you wanna complain about your life, have at it. Different struggles for different people. I absolutely hate it when people use that excuse because no, my life shouldn't be used to shut down others' thoughts and struggles because that'll just make that person internalise it and possibly make it worse. Sure there's a limit, don't try and make yourself out to be the like the person with the worst struggles ever for examples, but rants and expressing your own anxieties and worries isn't something that should be silenced because the listener doesn't think they would find it hard if they where in the speaker's position for example.

I just feel like it needs to be mentioned that there are SEVEN leads in Bye Bye Birdie. Kim isn't even the most standout female role, if anything it's Rosie. And I'm assuming that Tommy is playing Birdie not Hugo so there would not be a dance between the two of them. And also Hugo is Kim's love interest not Birdir, in fact Birdie never kisses Kim they don't even spend much stage time together. Of course I know it's too much to ask for these writers to do any research.

As someone who was born and raised in Louisiana (which these movies are sadly based in) I can say that a lot of women are pretty short, but the one above 6ft girl that was in our high school was one of the most popular chicks around. She used to give piggyback rides to other girls during gym class. Louisiana high school students can give a shit less about your height, we’re worried about Gumbo day and Spirit Week, that’s about it.

Jodie: Treats being tall like a living hell. Harper: Has horrible allergies which actually can be a living hell but takes it in her stride and does the best she can. If Harper was the focus and said a line like "You think you have problems?" at the beginning of Tall Girl, people wouldn't have clowned that movie so much for its message. No, adversity isn't a contest. But Jodie turns even the most mundane challenge into some reason to pity herself. Add to that the fact that she's about 6' 1" - which isn't really that tall and means she should be far from the tallest kid in her school - and it's easy to see why Jodie is unlikable, the movie is dumb and people called it out. But I guess the writers just couldn't figure that out.

Confused.. A lot of movies have taller women being seen and desirable or have a maina charter be a taller women.. So I'm not sure why her being tall is a problem. Is it just because she is in high-school that her tallmess is a problem?

"Keep walking Ikea"?! As a Swed I am slightly offended. Don't use IKEA as an insult. xD

Something I’m surprised about: I think it would have been interesting to have a sports storyline. Something like basketball or volleyball where she thinks she should automatically be good, but realizing that she has to put in the work and be a part of the team and not just be “the tall girl.” But also, just not having another movie is more great.

I do appreciate what they tried to do with this movie, the theme being it was never just about being tall, it was how she perceived her self-worth. and the movie is about her dealing with herself as the bully. However, it's still really hard to watch a movie about all these characters that are beautiful, talented, have tight support group of friends and family, and are VERY WEALTHY, and be like ahhh yes relatable teenage moments. It just feels like a joke, seriously. Not that anxiety isn't a real problem or something, but all these people just live in a completely different reality oh my god.

I appreciate Amanda making these videos. I would not watch half of these movies, but Amanda's commentaries are so interesting. Thank you so much!

The fact that the caricature mean girl from the first movie is a better character than her is insane to me, it's great

Recently I've been having panic attacks almost daily now and the one thing you have to take away from that is that you are not dying. It is temporary. Those feelings will go away. It's hard when you're in the moment to think that way. It does sometimes take someone on the outside speaking in from the outside to remind you.

i love how three of the four cinematic youtubers i follow all have Tall Girl 2 videos this week and i know all of them will be gold

I want a Netflix movie about how I’m only 5’3 and sometimes it hard to reach things that are high… and I have to get a step… it can be really hard guys….

Why is she so pissed off that Jodie is AUDITIONING if she's always the lead? That..... that means she's the best actress so she keeps getting picked, right? Does NOBODY else in the entire school audition for the lead role? Does she RELY on being picked by default? I'm so confused.

As Dylan said in his commentary, she should have grown taller and this should have been her problem in the movie. Not that she’s now anxious. Also she could have moved of Sweden and been surround my taller people who made fun of her which gave her a different problem.

I really want Amanda to watch this Korean film that was put on my recommendations called Love and Leashes. It looked like Korean 50 shades but it kinda became the anti 50 shades

I gotta be honest when i heard about the first film I honestly assumed it was about a trans girl struggling to fit in at school and being insecure about her "traditionally more masculine" characteristics learning to love herself betterer. Was so confused to find out the film's only shtick was "there's this girl. She's amazing in every way only she's... TALL!!" Like maybe if it had been made in the 70s... Sure. My idea is tonnes better

She got into Juilliard? Wasn't that her first musical ever? She hadn't even performed in it yet when she got in...
