from CRWN Cinema Podcast · host CRWN Cinema
In this episode, we review and react to TIPTOES, the bizarre and unforgettable 2003 film starring MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY. This wild movie takes a strange turn with Gary Oldman playing McConaughey's twin brother, who is a little person. We discuss the film's surprising cast, including Peter Dinklage and Kate Beckinsale, and its unexpected storyline. Dive into this reaction as we break down the controversial portrayal of little people, the film's tonal confusion between comedy and drama, and how this movie became an infamous cult classic. TIPTOES is a film you have to see to believe, and we share our thoughts on whether it's a misunderstood gem or one of the strangest misfires in Hollywood history. TIPTOES is about: Carol falls in love with Steven without knowing much about him. When Carol finds herself pregnant it forces Steven to expose a secret. Steven happens to be the only average-sized person in a family of dwarfs, including his twin brother Rolfe.
