History YMMV / TinyTiptoes

* WTHCastingAgency: Gary Oldman as the dwarf Rolfe, made even odder by the large number of actual dwarves on hand. It's downright offensive considering the casting of Creator/PeterDinklage, perhaps the most well-known and respected dwarf actor and a fantastic actor in his own right, in a supporting role that ultimately has nothing to with the main plot and exists only to show that dwarfs have sexual relationships with normal sized people. Realistically, Dinklage should have gotten the part of Rolfe, not Oldman. It even would've solved the issue of Rolfe and Steven being twins despite [=McConaughey=] and Oldman clearly being a decade apart as Dinklage is only a few months older than [=McConaughey=].

* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: All the actors seem to be trying really hard to sell the ridiculous premise. Even [=McConaughey=] (whose performances are otherwise notoriously laid back) gives it his all.

* SoBadItsGood: The film is often considered to be this, due in large part to the [[NeverTrustATrailer ridiculous trailer]] (that makes it seem like a light-hearted romantic comedy), the sight of Gary Oldman as a dwarf and the [[TookTheBadFilmSeriously mawkish seriousness]] the cast displays in the final third of the film.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: By and large, any attempt to make Gary Oldman actually look like a dwarf is a total failure.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: For the careers of just about everybody involved, it's impossible to find any interviews with the cast actually discussing the film.

* StrangledByTheRedString: [[spoiler: Without much build up the film ends with Carol telling Rolfe "You can kiss me if you want". He does and the film fades to black.]]
