** Yes, people have been bullied for their height before (including lead actress Ava Michelle), so the intended message isn't a bad one. However, the movie undermines it through a combination of {{wangst}} and HollywoodHomely (specifically, a few students making the age-old "How's the weather up there?" joke and Jodie saying her life is harder than that of anyone watching the movie because she wears big shoes).

* ClicheStorm: Aside from Jodi's flaw of being 'too tall', the plot is a fairly standard high school comedy with all the regular tropes, such as the CoolLoser heroine who later gets a makeover, [[TokenBlackFriend the black best friend who exists only to lift the protagonist up]], [[DoggedNiceGuy the guy who constantly asks her out even though she's not interested]] ([[FirstGuyWins until the end]]), and the LoveTriangle with the BigManOnCampus and the AlphaBitch.

* DesignatedHero: Jodi comes across this way several times throughout the film; she kisses Stig and goes on dates with him, despite knowing that he's already dating Kimmy, ditches plans with her best friend Fareeda to go on a date with a guy she doesn't even like (to make Stig jealous), and never apologizes to Fareeda or her parents for repeatedly yelling at them throughout the film. The fact the movie opens with a monologue where she talks about how "hard" her life is for being tall really makes it hard to form any other opinion about her besides the fact she's entitled and stressing about an issue that's very trivial.

Renamed one trope.
* QuestionableCasting: Dunkleman is played by Griffin Gluck (3/4 Caucasian, 1/4 Japanese). His mom is played by Christina Moses (1/2 Caucasian, 1/2 African-American). Unless there was a subplot about her being his step-mom or him being a foster child that was left out of the final film, it's given no explanation how the two of them could be related.

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: Whether or not it could be called good is up for debate, but ''Tall Girl 2'' shows some definite signs of improvement: Jodie's [[{{Wangst}} wangsting]] over her height has been ditched in favor of a much more legitimate psychological issue (performance anxiety), she's much more outgoing and likable, and there is at least an attempt to give some of the one-dimensional bullies from the first movie some depth and CharacterDevelopment.
