Great Film! Missing Minutes, though,
By A Customer
Wow, this is a fun movie.You'll see by the other reviews that there are two versions--one 92 ish minutes and one 85 minutes long. Even though Amazon.com's customer service says the version for sale here is the 92-minute version, it isn't. The one for sale here is the 85 minute version. That's stated clearly on the dvd case. A great film, anyway.

GREAT film, BAD version... :(,
By Well, unfortunately, the version that was put to DVD is the tranced 85 minute version :( As for the movie itself, I first saw it on TV late one night (in the 92 minute version) and loved it so much that I went out and rented it on video a few days later. But of course this was that awful 85 minute version. I mean, there are lead up to punch lines that never happen (in the begining of the movie, Jeff Goldblum is at his apartment, which he shares with an over sexed, and a bit inconsiderate, female friend, and is making himself a glass of OJ by pouring the remaining drips of several empty OJ containers, that he finds all over the apartment, into a glass. And just as he's managed to make the glass half full, he's distracted by one of his roomates naked boyfriends, entering the kitchen. He puts down the glass, which his room mate ends up drinking on him. It's a funny sceen in the 92 min. version, but in the 85 min. one, she never drinks the juice, but we still see Jeff seraching the apartment for juice containers to drain into the glass. Also, funny, Rowen Atkinson, bits, are cut out of the 85 min. version. But, if you're a big fan of quirky comedy, Rowan Atkinson, or have ever wanted to see Emma Thompson in the buff... (yep, she has a funny nude sceen) then this movie's still a must have DVD (that is, unless you can find the 92 minute video, then you might want to go for that instead). It just STINKS, that the distributors didn't bother to put in the effort to track down a print of the FAR superior 92 minute version, to put to DVD... :(

A wonderfully engaging British comedy,
By PJ Hodges (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews This is a tremendously good-natured movie. It will make you smile. The Tall Guy will be a bit much to take for you cynics out there. It is a ROMANTIC COMEDY and celebrates and revels in that fact from the start. I loved the fact that the Comedy part of the formula was a little mischievous. There is a blind man that is allergic to his guide dog. Dexter gets his big break when he lands the lead in Elephant!, the musical version of John Merrick's life. The highlight of the show is the most unique sex scene in the history of modern cinema. The Tall Guy will be a movie you totally love or you will think me an idiot for recommending. Give it a try next time you are looking for "something fun."
