Here's a quote from Verne Troyer who played Mini-Me in the "Austin Powers" movie: "I think when average-size people start taking roles that were meant for dwarfs, that's a little frustrating because there aren't that many roles out there for height-challenged actors."The last part of the quote is the key, there aren't many roles out there for height-challenged actors.
If a short guy could fall for a taller woman, why tall woman could not fall for a short guy, as long as he's romantic, with strong sense of humor, a big heart, a charmer in his own way and his height? But of course, the short guy who falls for a tall beautiful woman, his first and must have requirement is, well, he must be rich, not just rich, but must be very rich, and social status must also quite recognizable to the general public.
Laurent Tirard's film certainly boasts an interesting premise and has a certain amount of fun subverting expectation early on.But it quickly settles into a routine rom-com format.
Original script, perfect casting. I expect watching American remake with Peter Dinklage and Margot Robbie.
This is the classic French romcom with a twist. A dashing architect and a big girl lawyer fall in love with each other.
First the long review from the other is not fair. It sounds like someone who admits being shorter is an issue.
Yet another failed French Comedy. This decade has not been kind for French Cinema and comedies are pretty catastrophic.
You'll search far and wide to find a positive review of this film but you have found one here. Like every romantic farce, Up For Love (2016) is a comedy based on situational humour rather than dialogue or action.
Up for love is a movie about Alexandre, a little man that with his charming and gallant attitude tries to win the heart of equally charming and pretty Diana. I felt identified with Alexandre, since in the past I had a girlfriend that was taller than me xDThe movie focus a little in the socially acceptable side of the relationship without becoming too serious.
