Netflix drop trailer for new movie about life as a tall girl and we’re unsure

We're on the fence.

Tall Girl is set to drop on Netflix next month.

And after watching the trailer, it’s safe to say we’re not fully sold but, not ruling it out either.

Netflix has had some massive success when it comes to high-school-based content.

13 Reasons Why, To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before and American Vandal are just some teen dramas/comedies that have gone down a treat on the streaming service.

So we won’t be too quick to write Tall Girl off, but the concept for the movie is far from inspiring.

Here’s the official IMDB synopsis for the movie:

“Jodi, the tallest girl in her high school, has always felt uncomfortable in her own skin.

“But after years of slouching, being made fun of, and avoiding attention at all costs, Jodi finally decides to find the confidence to stand tall.”

Strange.

That being said, we’re sure a lot of the taller folk among us will find some of the scenes here kind of relatable.

Take a look at the trailer here in all of its glory:

Madness. But at the same time, who doesn’t love a good rom-com?

Tall Girl comes to Netflix on 13 September.
