Tiptoes is a 2003 comedy-drama film directed by Matthew Bright. The film stars Matthew McConaughey as Steven, Kate Beckinsale as Carol, Gary Oldman as Rolfe, Patricia Arquette as Lucy, and Peter Dinklage as Maurice.
Steven and Carol are in love and planning to get married. Steven comes from a family of dwarfs, including his parents, uncle, and brother, Rolfe. Steven has been estranged from his family for many years, and he's reluctant to tell Carol about them. When Carol discovers Steven's family secret by accident, she's shocked and confused.
Carol struggles to come to terms with Steven's family, and she becomes conflicted about whether she's comfortable with marrying into a family of dwarfs. Meanwhile, Steven goes on a journey of self-discovery, trying to reconcile with his family and come to terms with his own identity as a dwarf.
The film explores themes of family, acceptance, and identity. It examines the struggles that people face when they're different from others, and the importance of love and understanding in overcoming those difficulties. It also features strong performances from the cast, particularly Gary Oldman, who famously portrayed Rolfe on his knees to depict his dwarfism. Tiptoes received mixed reviews from critics, but it remains a unique and thought-provoking film about the complexities of human relationships.
