THE TALL GUY, first and foremost, is very British in its humor, which means there is irony, surrealism, and jokes that don't depend on insults (Americans *love* the insult-joke).
Guy observes his sad life, meets the off-of-center girl, they fall in love, her influence makes him a better man, he bungles their relationship and he ultimately risks losing her and her meaningfulness.

 Stomp Tokyo Video Reviews - The Tall Guy (1990)
The Tall Guy is one of those rare romantic comedies where everything is done right.
Fortunately, The Tall Guy is hilarious in its own right, even before the romantic relationship arises (and it takes a while to show up).
Dexter, who suffers chronic hayfever and an acute phobia of hypodermic needles, seems to be doomed to the fate of being the faceless "tall guy" -- an American actor at a loss for direction in the London stage world.

 DVD Times - The Tall Guy
His experiences formed the basis of his first film script, The Tall Guy, which is the story of a straight man in thrall to a monstrous, egomaniacal rubber faced comic called Ron Anderson.
The Tall Guy is a little thing, slender and a bit fragile and in comparison to Curtis’s later work for the cinema it may look, to some, more like an extended TV sketch.
In The Tall Guy, the emotion is constantly balanced by comic energe and, best of all, in Dexter and Kate, he creates a partnership of equals, two charmingly bizarre people who obviously belong together and who are as sympathetic as they are strange.

The first feature to be directed by comedian Mel Smith, The Tall Guy is a blithely ramshackle comedy, essentially a vehicle for the gangling, geeky charms of Jeff Goldblum.
The Tall Guy, as you might gather, isn't long on originality and Smith's direction is serviceable at best.

 Tall Guy
The Tall Guy not only achieves this distinction, it manages at the same time to paint an enjoyable and credible romance between stars Jeff Goldblum and Emma Thompson, all the same never sacrificing love to its main mirth making mission.
Emma Thompson, before setting filmdom on its ear with a number of award caliber performances, is very much a vision of an earthy Julie Andrews as Dexter's romantic ideal, Kate Lemmon.
Thompson is clearly in support in this film, but she makes the most of a role that could easily have been eclipsed by the sunburst of broad humor that drives The Tall Guy.
