A lot of fun.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

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.

"Tiptoes" had so much potential but as other IMDb reviews will tell you it falls flat quickly. The plot sounds interesting and Gary Oldman never disappoints, though his role is bizarre in this one. The plot quickly loses footing and doesn't know where it stands.Matthew McCoanughey and his Kate Beckinsale play a couple who find that they'll be having a baby together, only to Matt's chagrin the baby could possibly be born a dwarf just as family. Gary Oldman plays his brother, who accidentally breaks the news. One of the Arquettes plays a weird supporting character that doesn't seem to have any relevance to the story. Peter Dinklage plays Oldman's friend.Gary Oldman playing a dwarf...what's to be said? His "prosthetics" seem to be simply folding his legs back into his jeans, and nothing is used to hide that fact. McConaughey and Beckinsale do a well enough job, and Peter Dinklage is the only somewhat interesting person in the film. The Arquette is pretty pointless after a while.It's one of those "I get where they're going, but..." movies. Very hit-or-miss, and for me it was a miss.

Gary Oldman is a brilliant actor sure, but whoever cast him as a dwarf amongst other real life dwarfs should have their head examined. If you're making a movie about dwarfism (such as is the case here), for God's sake cast a REAL dwarf in the title role! Anything less is just an insult to little people and anybody who watches this sad excuse for a film.In addition, the script and characters frequently come off very contrived, the direction and pacing are sloppy at best, and the melodrama and lack of chemistry do not help this train wreck make it to the station.

In this movie,Patricia Arquette appear in some scenes as a girlfriend of Peter Dinklage, in a bed ,playing a kind of erotic games,the scene is so sexy,Patricia show a pair of wonderful legs,and a divine anatomy...I'm agree with the friend that said, he wanted more focus in a Dinklage-Arquette relationship, it could be very interesting,Patricia shows her beauty in "Stigmatta" again,is very clear for me that she has a special Charisma, and sweetness,in addition, she is smart,bold,and tenaciousand in the movie "the badge" with Billy Bob Thorton, she is so beautiful too Thanks Patricia..¡¡¡¡¡ you are a Goddess...¡
