Andrew Gold I'd watch anything with Matthew McConaughey. Seriously. I've seen Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, I liked it, I've seen The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation, it was horrendous, I've seen his courtroom dramas A Time to Kill and The Lincoln Lawyer, love them. He's one of my favorite actors because no matter what genre he does, he's still entertaining as hell to watch. And don't even get me started on Gary Oldman. The Professional anyone? So when I saw the trailer for Tiptoes promising McConaughey and "a performance of a lifetime" by Gary Oldman, needless to say I was expecting greatness. Not really. But there has to be some redeeming value in a movie where two of my favorite actors play twin brothers and one of them is a dwarf, right? Well... no.Tiptoes is exactly as terrible as you'd expect it to be. The premise alone, like who the hell thought of this? And why in god's name did McConaughey and Oldman agree to this abomination? Did they even read the script? Holy hell it's bad. It has some laugh out loud moments of course, I mean the premise lends itself to some horrifically awkward situations. One of the greatest lines in the movie is McConaughey yelling, "I'M A DWARF!" as his 6 foot tall body looms over Kate Beckinsale. It's classic. And the thing is, the acting is really good. Across the board. How they were able to deliver this dialogue with a straight face I'll never know. I can't imagine what their paychecks were. There are some truly cringe-worthy moments in here as you can imagine. There's the whole drama over calling little people "midgets" and a pointless story between Peter Dinklage with a french accent and Patricia Arquette, as in it literally adds zero to the plot. And the ending, wow. Let's just say McConaughey got the short end of the stick. I sat through this movie, you don't have to. Seriously the trailer goes through the entire plot, and it's infinitely funnier being 3 minutes long as opposed to a 90-minute brutal movie experience. In a way I'm glad Tiptoes was made because it's so insane and incredulous of a premise with these fantastic actors, it's like the best punchline of all time. But this movie tries to be serious, and because of that, it's painful to watch. Don't see Tiptoes.

suspensesmith There's enough of this movie to compel you to venture into it's bizarre premise, but not enough to satisfy you with bizarre things to justify sitting through it all in one sitting. I like bad movies that are fun, the Room, Troll 2. This is not one of those movies. It's an oddity to be sure, but a painful, slow, and awkward oddity that just makes you feel like you wasted a part of your life somehow. It's not bad enough to be funny and it isn't good enough to transcend the odd premise it has going against it.Dwarfs, little people... or whatever the politically correct term is nowadays deserves a better movie to help overcome prejudice people have towards them, but this is a really bad attempt at tackling that topic.Game of Thrones is actually much better at that point of making you sympathize with small people, this just makes you want to have a lobotomy to get rid of the headache you'll have.

Jim F Let me just say something that one Daniel O'Brien of Cracked.com once said of this movie in a Youtube video titled "Officially the Worst Movie Idea Anyone's Ever Had". "Now I'm gonna pitch you a movie, this couple named Steve and Carol have a wonderful relationship. Everything is going well until Carol gets pregnant. Now Steve's deep dark secret is revealed. His entire family is dwarfs... Pretend that I stress that it's not a comedy, it's very, very serious, and let's say for argument's sake that my name is Weiner. I have just pitched you: 'Mr. Weiner's Very Serious Midget Movie'".I really do feel that Mr. O'Brien captures the essence of the film in this alternate title.

mckellep i had never heard of this movie till i was watching tosh.0 and he was teasing it and i just had to see if it was real. i can't believe the garbage that they can spew out. what's even worse is that now i have to actually see it for myself then gouge my eyes out and puncture my ear drums in the hopes of getting this monstrosity of a movie out of my brain after i watch it. i can't imagine where people get their ideas from. i guess you don't have to have any kind of incredible talent to make movies. i can't believe gary oldman would be a part of this, he is normally such a talented actor, but i guess it comes down to the dollar amount. why not just use a real little person like peter dinklage. this movie is already offensive to little people and you make it even more so by giving the role to a full size person. my life would have been better had i not heard of this awful movie.
