Movie Description
An American actor working in London is frustrated by his lack of success. When love comes his way so does his chance at stardom. Now he must sort out his life to resolve the personal problems that arise with his good fortune.
Synopsis
A charming British comedy, set in the less glamorous regions of the theatrical world.
Dexter King is an American actor performing as the sidekick to a popular comic in the West End. While Dexter's career is languishing, he falls in love with Kate Lemon, a hospital nurse who administers weekly shots to him. After months of fumbling, the two finally hook up romantically, only to become enmeshed in an hilarious slapstick bedroom scene. But, as luck would have it, just as Dexter's love life perks up, he loses his theater job. Soon, though, he wins the lead role in "Elephant" -- a musical version of "The Elephant Man"!
Film Notes
Screen debut for British actress Emma Thompson.
Industry Reviews
"...Inspired lunacy....THE TALL GUY is art imitating life, only funnier..."
Rolling Stone - p.49 - Peter Travers
"...Always wickedly endearing, thanks to the off-kilter characters played by [Goldblum and Thompson]..."
New York Times - p.C8 - Caryn James
"...Goldblum has the agility and the bug-eyed apprehension of a great clown....Goldblum is constantly perking himself into new realms of neuromuscular amazements. It's like watching a one-man slapstick ballet..."
Los Angeles Times - p.F13 - Peter Rainer
