The Tall Guy
From the hit-making writer of Notting Hill and Four Weddings and a Funeral, The Tall Guy is a sharply funny story punctuated by the likable comic chemistry of popular stars Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic Park) andiEmma Thompson (Sense and Sensibility)! 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 wonderfully memorable performance by Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) and a stellar cast - don't miss this smartly detailed and charmingly hilarious comedy treat!

One of the best comedies never seen - Mookie
This is one of those rare romantic comedies, it is a comedy that makes you laugh. There are at least four unforgettable scenes (bedroom sex scene, getting needles)and it is perfectly cast with Jeff in his best comedy and Emma being her usual brilliant self. Rowan makes an appearance and steals the scenes he is in. From top to bottom I loved this movie.Very funny - geozip
Although a number of aspects were pretty contrived, clearly designed to get the specific actors they wanted into the movie, this was thoroughly enoyable and a good laugh. Not gut wrenchingly funny, but a good enjoyable evening's entertainment regardless.Hilariously Funny! - jwestman
This movie keeps you laughing from the beginning to the end. Jeff Goldblum plays his usual babbling innocent guy who can't seem to get a break! Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) plays an arrogant english pr!ick, much as he is rumoured to be in real life.
I'm not a fan of romantic comedies, but I did enjoy this one and give it 5/5 stars!
