I think the second male lead thing should be called the Jordan Fisher effect. It was the first thing I noticed watching the movie. They always got a lightskin that can dance and has better chemistry with the lead😭.
right?? and then we have to believe and accept that theyre meant to be w random white lead who pales in comparison and just like. pretend their chemistry w the other dude didnt happen
@@avery6777I'm pretty sure he is actually half (ish - google isn't very specific lmao) Native American - I noticed this too, AND Stephanie Meyer also made Jacob a borderline paedophile which says a lot about her lol
I think it's kinda to do with what Trin said at the end, the movie is targeted to one and not the other so they react completely differently, its so interesting
I don’t always agree with Trin, but I always disagree with Dylan 😂 I assume his take is interesting but wrong since he doesn’t usually watch the movies he’s watching lol.
I wish this happened to me but I can only say I went to a one direction concert and harry saw me in the crowd and fell in love with me, like, right away
@@Spidertheidiot omg really? my mafia leader dad died and harry styles took over and he hated me at first but now we’re like, so in love except I get kidnapped by rival gangs a lot and one direction saves me every time
as a short girl i can confirm the "am i a burden to you?" thing is a girl problem lmao some dude did that shit to me and we were not even dating, like it was SO embarrassing and gross, trying to gaslight someone into a relationship and being shitty 💀
Yea im 5'2 and had guys do this to me too. I think its less to do with height and more to do with girls who are confident in themselves (or at least outwardly seem to be) and boys who are not. Insecure guys don't seem to be able to handle girls who are living happy and fulfilling lives and would be perfectly fine without the guy. If they don't value their own existence/lives they want a girl who needs and relies on them so they can feel secure in the relationship.
@@patienceholmes841 exactly! it's dudes who are stuck thinking that they need is a woman to swoop in and love them so everything will be fine because every shitty YA book/romance movie is about a nice girl fixing a broken guy and it's like no, that's not how it works at all.
at this point, with all the stereotypes that netflix has created/included in its storytelling for its teenage romcoms, someone just gotta do a parody of that like “Not Another Netflix’s teenage love story movie”.
Yes, I agree, the comparison of being tall to being overweight was problematic when they're different issues that arent on the same level of discrimination and stigma attached to it, especially from society.
it rly didnt help that these movies use the dumbest examples because theres very real ways tall women at least get ostracized and that can affect a person, but like. people being annoyed that youre blocking their view at a movie theatre isnt that!
As a person who was extremely overweight most of her life, I appreciate you calling out how overweight people are ridiculed (especially growing up) and how it is definitely more intense than how people can be ridiculed for being very tall!
Right… and I feel that part of the racial aspect of the casting is to make the guy desirable, they don’t have an issue séxűälǐzǐng him in many of these cases 🙃, but not an actual emotional contender because he doesn’t have enough “flaws.” And on the one hand you have executives wanting to keep up with “trends” of having some diversity and on the other hand you have the people who admit they are waging a “culture war” against all diverse representation in media. I don’t know how much influence producers of a specific movie or tv show on Netflix even have in some of these cases. And then. Well. You can see what led to the writers’ strike… Clearly writing is often not valued lol. (Sometimes not by audiences either, but that’s a whole other thing.)
What if Jody was like: "What do you say to people who think being tall is not a real issue?" "I would tell them to grow up." (laughing at my own joke rn)
no cuz although the acting was questionable at times, there were some things that i personally enjoyed, such as the fareeda x stig storyline and kimmy's redemption lol. i rly dont think that a sequel was necessary, but tall girl 2 was definitely a lot better than the first one! also ly trin
Yeah I thought this movie actually added more depth to most of the characters… but it had really nothing to do with being tall. I would’ve wanted more of the “second love interest’s” story about him being overweight, because body image in men is not talked about much. I also think we need more of a “See you in chemistry” response to “I love you” in movies 😂 I’m also 5’8 but with 5’2 energy 🙃
And I love that Stella finally addressed the big problem with Dunkleman. She's absolutely right. He DID put her on a pedestal. AND THEY NEVER ADDRESS IT AGAIN!
"Just because something is the beauty standard doesn't mean you can't make fun of someone for it. You could make fun of me for my long hair, my soft supple skin, my voluptuous lips, my big bottom...." I didn't know it was possible to simultaneously flex and roast yourself, but somehow you found a way. XD
She was kicked off dance moms for being too tall. She was humiliated infront of the entire nation multiple times by abby lee for being too tall. This movie is just a slap in the face to abby lee. I wish they would have publicly stated this so people would stop being confused on this movie🤦 is the movie cheesy and dramatic? Yes. Is the main love interest and the older sister actually in a relationship? Yes. Did she prove to abby lee and all the other jerks who judged her for being too tall that she can still make it in the industry? A BIG FAT YES!!!! I mean look at the heights of everyone else in the movie. They intentionally picked short actors to make her look even taller. I'll support anything she does bcs dance moms was a horrid show with a horrid leader!
actually the main love interest (griffin) and the sister (sabrina) have been broken up for a while. they did date around the time of the first movie, though!
Wow, I cant believe ive never heard that she was kicked off Dance Moms and humiliated bc she was tall. That totally changes the context to her role and this movie
As someone who has watched the show more than a dozen times, her height was never something of super importance and the sole reason she was kicked off hahaha abby has had other tall dancers before, the group she was in even had other girls of similar height to her. she was kicked off because abby didn't like the way she danced (and because of her behaviour, which was definitely very unreasonable on abby's part given that Ava didn't actually do anything wrong) and most importantly, because abby reallyyy didn't like her mother lmao The only time her height was mentioned on the show was in LA when her and her mother showed up uninvited because her mother didn't think they had been kicked off the team. That being said, we can never truly know what happened behind the scenes and outside of what the producers wanted the audience to see on the show. Abby was an extremely bellow the belt person.. she humiliated, degraded and bullied lots of girls on that show.. But, man season 4 as a whole was a bit of a mess lol
I hate how they retconned Dunkleman. Please do not forget that Stig only ghosted her because Dunk told him to stay away from her, because it was his only chance to have a real high school experience. He's a manipulative jerk!
to all the boys i loved before, kissing booth, and now tall girl have all had a poc second male lead who has way better chemistry with the actress and talent than the first male lead yet he gets dumped or kissed and never given another thought about... im starting to see a trend going on here with netflix movies
I know everyone is talking about the commentary and it's great, I love Trin's content BUT my nerdy brain immediately noticed her lovely New Moon shirt 😁
1:12 to be fair a lot of the tall woman dating short male celebrities are supermodels I do have a lot of sympathy for tall girls (over 5’10) because although it’s not socially unacceptable - if you’re a regular girl dating a regular boy that’s a lot shorter than you, you WILL get some looks and unwanted attention. so it’s not like it’s COMPLETELY out of the ballpark to think dating a short guy as a tall girl will raise SOME eyebrows.

2:15 The Take just did a video about this, the disposable black love interest cliche!! i'd recommend it. It's in sooo much more than just netflix movies, it's insane.
Honestly I don't think her leaving the dinner was bad. If he's gonna yell at her about being a burden because he's insecure that she's doing well in life she doesn't have to sit there and take it just because he lit some candles. If he wanted to have a mature, calm conversation and express how he's feeling sort of ignored and undervalued then awesome but if he's gonna throw a hissy fit then I fully support her ditching his ass. She doesn't owe him her time, energy & appreciation if he's gonna yell at her and project his own insecurities onto her
people have gotten so used to viciously hating dumb teen movies, they forgot that you can just be neutral about a movie for once. yeah, it’s weird that a tall skinny cishet white woman is the most oppressed person in her story, but the 2nd movie is alright and corrects itself on the issues made in the first movie. my only real problem is Dunkle not apologising for being a dick.
11:59 I was never bullied in middle school because I was literally so irrelevant that my own teachers would forget my name months into the school year💀💀💀

I've been 5'8" since I was 13 (very tall at that age, more of an 'acceptable' height now at 22) and 2/3 of my ex's were men shorter than me and let me tell you...not a single person has ever cared
I actually know of a lot of girls that ended up developing eating disorders growing up as tall skinny girls. I'm so sick of people feeling the need to compare their struggles. It's not a competition. Can we just acknowledge that struggles are valid. These things don't feel comparable. It's something that person is struggling with so it's a big part of them and their experience. Edit; I'm also not saying this movie was good, I thought the first and second were pretty dumb.
Im sorry im just confused did the eating disorder develop because they were being repeatedly asked hows the weather up there? Probably not, yes i know people can have body dismorphia with any body type but the examples of bullying and struggles they showed in this movie and more so the first one are just so stupid and rlly don't happen that often so when you compare it to bullying for being over weight or poor its just distasteful
@@jadetorres4859 the eating disorder developed from a long time of being called skinny and made fun of for it. I'm a therapist studying eating disorders. There's a lot of connections in research with "naturally skinny girls" and eating disorders relating to the constant discussion of their body and ideation of working towards perfection. I'm not saying it comparable to obesity and the bullying relating to this. I'm saying it doesn't need to be compared in the sense of this competition that comes from people comparing trauma. I'm not just specifically talking about tall people because Trin talked about tall, skinny people.
i feel like the reason this movie was much more palatable than the first is bc, like you said, this movie deals with a very real thing like intrusive thoughts or imposter syndrome, while the first movie tried making Being Tall something you could be oppressed/discriminated against. much like how you mentioned this movie unfairly comparing judi's talleness to the love interest's former body weight, basically it's like "judi wouldn't be rejected from a job hiring for being tall, but an employer would /definitely find A reason/ to not hire someone simply bc that person is overweight (despite matching all job requisites and perhaps even more)" so it was good that this movie actually had judi dealing with something more internally caused than the unrealistic externally caused like the previous movie tried to make
i totally agree with you saying that society hasn’t really deemed it, but i assume that’s why the movie is set in high school because it kinda is deemed in school sometimes.
as a tall girl (5'10), the only thing I have struggled with is just feeling awkward around other shorter people (especially in middle school when I was the only person). I felt like I couldn't hear the conversation and was cut off when everyone was grouped in a circle, and I always hunched my shoulders to make myself smaller. I was so jealous of the cute short girls. I still feel uncomfortable talking to people who are much older than me (and in positions of power like a doctor, teacher, driving instructor, etc.) that I tower over. I think that's just learning to feel comfortable with my height and it was never something I was bullied about. Otherwise I feel like being tall is an advantage because it means I am automatically taken more seriously. Also, I can attest that there were taller girls than me in highschool, among many taller boys. Idk if other tall girls have experienced similar things
I'm 5'8 myself and I consider myself short, so this movie hits me on a personal level. I've fallen for girls taller than me, some of 'em cheerleaders. But I'm just too shy to admit my feelings for them. Netflix struck gold on this one and Trin...thanks for breaking this down and giving guys like me hope to break out of the friendzone with girls they like.
This movie was still a little weird to me but it was definitely better than the first one. But I loved Stig so much more and I thought Stella was a really good addition. I liked her and Dunkleman’s friendship a lot, and I’m really glad the writers didn’t go the dating route with them.
Ngl being discriminated for your height IS a real thing, and this might sound weird to most ppl but ive always been really short (like, I'm 19 and im less than 1,50 m tall) and all my life ive experienced bullying, discrimination, humiliation, uncomfortable comments, being treated/seen like a child as a humiliation tool etc about my height (yes, even if im a girl and its more 'socially acceptable' for a girl to be short) so based on my personal experience i consider ppl negatively commenting on height, very much like commenting on weight, body shaming.
As someone who used to weigh over 200 lbs and has lost 70 lbs in 5 months, the difference in the way that people treat you when you’re overweight vs standard sized is night and day.
the fact that jodie acknowledged blocking the movie theatre screen and victimized herself when she was evidently being inconsiderate to the other movie-goers in the first place...
When I watched tall girl 1 I was sure Dunkleman and Stig would be together and Jodie and Kimmy would be together because Kimmy had no place to be this obsessed with Jodie. I was so surprised it was just the same hetero bulshit again.
The reason this movie is so funny (in a bad way) is exactly because being tall doesn't make you discriminated against lmao. Yeah, you might be made fun of or whatever, but she acts like it's the same as racism/ abelism, etc. Like Trin said, being tall and skinny is literally the beauty standard in society. Also side note I'm 175cm (5'9 I think) and wish I was taller lol. I love being tall.
No literally in the 1st movie when she said she was only 6'1 baffled me. I thought she was gonna be at LEAST 6'5, it's not her fault everyone in that whole town is short as hell for no reason
I think the actress was 6’2”? So they made it even shorter? Lol. And yes it looks like it’s set in the United States in a *fairly* (somewhat) diverse area but then everyone is made to look half her size. Especially in the first film. Like in some places it’s more unusual to be that tall than others though. Even then lol
I shot up to 5’5 in 7th grade so for that age I was considered tall. (I was also the tallest in the class) I’ve also been overweight. And life was significantly harder as someone who was overweight then kinda tall. So the comparison was kinda insulting.
The reference you made about a foreign exchange student dating an only child is basically explaining the plot of Call Me By Your Name. I feel like you knew that.
Im a fat 6'2 man, and the scene of the tall girl and the boy comparing being fat and being tall is actually ridiculous and infuriating, the difference is explicitly shown just by her getting two freaking movies about ""normalizing"" her being tall, which is already normal btw, and he comes to this movie as a thin guy, because they wanted him to be traditionally attractive in her perspective, fitting the beauty standars because netflix, so he gets to be a former fat guy, cuz the producers and writers of the movie themselves KNOW that if he was introduced in the movie as a fat guy the treatment would be completely freaking different this is just disgusting, honestly
I think the second male lead thing should be called the Jordan Fisher effect. It was the first thing I noticed watching the movie. They always got a lightskin that can dance and has better chemistry with the lead😭.
I wasn’t wearing my glasses and I swore it was Jordan Fisher for half the movie 😭
right?? and then we have to believe and accept that theyre meant to be w random white lead who pales in comparison and just like. pretend their chemistry w the other dude didnt happen

I've been 5'8" since I was 13 (very tall at that age, more of an 'acceptable' height now at 22) and 2/3 of my ex's were men shorter than me and let me tell you...not a single person has ever cared
My moms 5’7” and dad 5’4” doesn’t stop her from wearing heels lol
Are you with a guy now, and is he taller than those guys?
The images of Tom Holland and Zendaya had me rolling 😭
I actually know of a lot of girls that ended up developing eating disorders growing up as tall skinny girls.
I'm so sick of people feeling the need to compare their struggles. It's not a competition. Can we just acknowledge that struggles are valid. These things don't feel comparable. It's something that person is struggling with so it's a big part of them and their experience.
Edit; I'm also not saying this movie was good, I thought the first and second were pretty dumb.
Im sorry im just confused did the eating disorder develop because they were being repeatedly asked hows the weather up there? Probably not, yes i know people can have body dismorphia with any body type but the examples of bullying and struggles they showed in this movie and more so the first one are just so stupid and rlly don't happen that often so when you compare it to bullying for being over weight or poor its just distasteful
@@jadetorres4859 the eating disorder developed from a long time of being called skinny and made fun of for it. I'm a therapist studying eating disorders. There's a lot of connections in research with "naturally skinny girls" and eating disorders relating to the constant discussion of their body and ideation of working towards perfection.
I'm not saying it comparable to obesity and the bullying relating to this. I'm saying it doesn't need to be compared in the sense of this competition that comes from people comparing trauma.
I'm not just specifically talking about tall people because Trin talked about tall, skinny people.
@@jadetorres4859 I literally said we don't need to be comparing them so you clearly didn't read what I wrote.
Many issues wouldn’t happen if people just dont compare themselves to others in the first place .
surprisingly, i liked this one much better even though yes i did still cringe i liked the dynamics between certain characters and the setting
the editing is spot on for this one trin ☺️
Lol it’s not a Netflix thing girl, I mean look at your shirt 😂
i feel like the reason this movie was much more palatable than the first is bc, like you said, this movie deals with a very real thing like intrusive thoughts or imposter syndrome, while the first movie tried making Being Tall something you could be oppressed/discriminated against.
much like how you mentioned this movie unfairly comparing judi's talleness to the love interest's former body weight, basically it's like "judi wouldn't be rejected from a job hiring for being tall, but an employer would /definitely find A reason/ to not hire someone simply bc that person is overweight (despite matching all job requisites and perhaps even more)"
so it was good that this movie actually had judi dealing with something more internally caused than the unrealistic externally caused like the previous movie tried to make
THE WAY I WAS WAITING FOR ZENDAYA AND TOM IN THE MONTAGE OF THE COUPLES AND THEN SHE SHOWED LIKE FIVE PICTURES OF THEM 😭😭😭
i totally agree with you saying that society hasn’t really deemed it, but i assume that’s why the movie is set in high school because it kinda is deemed in school sometimes.
i've been WAITIN for this one
as a tall girl (5'10), the only thing I have struggled with is just feeling awkward around other shorter people (especially in middle school when I was the only person). I felt like I couldn't hear the conversation and was cut off when everyone was grouped in a circle, and I always hunched my shoulders to make myself smaller. I was so jealous of the cute short girls. I still feel uncomfortable talking to people who are much older than me (and in positions of power like a doctor, teacher, driving instructor, etc.) that I tower over. I think that's just learning to feel comfortable with my height and it was never something I was bullied about. Otherwise I feel like being tall is an advantage because it means I am automatically taken more seriously. Also, I can attest that there were taller girls than me in highschool, among many taller boys. Idk if other tall girls have experienced similar things
Thank you. You are not alone, I feel the same way
I'm 5'8 myself and I consider myself short, so this movie hits me on a personal level. I've fallen for girls taller than me, some of 'em cheerleaders. But I'm just too shy to admit my feelings for them. Netflix struck gold on this one and Trin...thanks for breaking this down and giving guys like me hope to break out of the friendzone with girls they like.
We love a trin × pmi simultaneous drop xx
This movie was still a little weird to me but it was definitely better than the first one. But I loved Stig so much more and I thought Stella was a really good addition. I liked her and Dunkleman’s friendship a lot, and I’m really glad the writers didn’t go the dating route with them.
Ur so gorgeous Trin and I luv ur hair and ur bangs also I am so happy u are reacting to this sequel
Ngl being discriminated for your height IS a real thing, and this might sound weird to most ppl but ive always been really short (like, I'm 19 and im less than 1,50 m tall) and all my life ive experienced bullying, discrimination, humiliation, uncomfortable comments, being treated/seen like a child as a humiliation tool etc about my height (yes, even if im a girl and its more 'socially acceptable' for a girl to be short) so based on my personal experience i consider ppl negatively commenting on height, very much like commenting on weight, body shaming.
Ol
As someone who used to weigh over 200 lbs and has lost 70 lbs in 5 months, the difference in the way that people treat you when you’re overweight vs standard sized is night and day.
the joker impression😭😭
Not you adding like five different pics of z and Tom I’m screaming🤣
Let’s not lie, Trin’s t-shirt is the main character of this video 🥰😂
tall girl 2: here we grow again
the fact that jodie acknowledged blocking the movie theatre screen and victimized herself when she was evidently being inconsiderate to the other movie-goers in the first place...
ugh trin my nose is offended 😂😂❤️❤️
"OH NO! Oh no, Netflix! They are doing it again, THEY ARE DOING IT AGAIN"
When I watched tall girl 1 I was sure Dunkleman and Stig would be together and Jodie and Kimmy would be together because Kimmy had no place to be this obsessed with Jodie. I was so surprised it was just the same hetero bulshit again.
I'm glad you're back to movie commentary!
TRIN! I feel like you'd love the show crazy ex girlfriend!! It's so good funny sad and it has SINGING!!!!
I love your shirt and your set up, it's absolutley fire:))
I'm pretty sure that audition question was a "is it great to you now? can we moved on?" for all of the comments about Jodi privilege
Sadly, this movie is a huge improvement over the first one. Don't get me wrong, it's still unecessary. No one asked for a sequel. 😂
The entire foreign exchange student fanfic idea is literally call me by your name😂
my college roommate was 6'1" and she had a volleyball scholarship so tall girls y'all can crush it
The reason this movie is so funny (in a bad way) is exactly because being tall doesn't make you discriminated against lmao. Yeah, you might be made fun of or whatever, but she acts like it's the same as racism/ abelism, etc. Like Trin said, being tall and skinny is literally the beauty standard in society.
Also side note I'm 175cm (5'9 I think) and wish I was taller lol. I love being tall.
No literally in the 1st movie when she said she was only 6'1 baffled me. I thought she was gonna be at LEAST 6'5, it's not her fault everyone in that whole town is short as hell for no reason
I think the actress was 6’2”? So they made it even shorter? Lol. And yes it looks like it’s set in the United States in a *fairly* (somewhat) diverse area but then everyone is made to look half her size. Especially in the first film. Like in some places it’s more unusual to be that tall than others though. Even then lol
"short men suck life out of you"
me, being 5'2: 😳
it's not a trin video without a Glee reference!!
I shot up to 5’5 in 7th grade so for that age I was considered tall. (I was also the tallest in the class) I’ve also been overweight. And life was significantly harder as someone who was overweight then kinda tall. So the comparison was kinda insulting.
Ngl Stig also became my fav funny character, the character development lmao
i love that little tomdaya montage there lol
Okay just got here and bruh I'm loving the content u makin me laff
YOUR SHIRT!! 😍 omg I love it!!
i love your squishmallows in the backgrounddd
The Take just did a video on Disposable Minority Romance and yup...the formula is used a bunch
okay i’m glad i’m not the only one here that thought the second one was really fun to watch
trin: i can make fun of you for having a cute little tiny petite nose
me and my bumped-ass german nose: yeah 💅🏻
her ideas are SO good, literally live for it
i was so relieved to read your thumbnail 😭🤚🏽
Off topic but your room is such a vibe
the squishmellow in the back of trin’s intrusive thoughts shot : 👁🐽👁😈
i literally just started rewatching twilight and so i feel like u love me cs ur wearing a twilight shirt 🥰🤞🤞💏
GIIIRRRRLLLLL I love the fit (aka the shirt!!! 🤣🤣🤣)
The reference you made about a foreign exchange student dating an only child is basically explaining the plot of Call Me By Your Name. I feel like you knew that.
Im a fat 6'2 man, and the scene of the tall girl and the boy comparing being fat and being tall is actually ridiculous and infuriating, the difference is explicitly shown just by her getting two freaking movies about ""normalizing"" her being tall, which is already normal btw, and he comes to this movie as a thin guy, because they wanted him to be traditionally attractive in her perspective, fitting the beauty standars because netflix, so he gets to be a former fat guy, cuz the producers and writers of the movie themselves KNOW that if he was introduced in the movie as a fat guy the treatment would be completely freaking different
this is just disgusting, honestly
