Tadpole


Tadpole Posted by Hello

We watched Tadpole tonight. This film is an indie featuring Sigourney Weaver, John Ritter and Bebe Newirth. The young stars of the film are Peter Appel and Robert Iler. Appel's performance as Tadpole, really made the movie. Appel plays an intelligent, passionate, intense, poetic, French speaking fifteen-year-old who falls in love with his stepmother. The plot is character driven and the dialogue is witty, so the film is really not as depraved as it sounds. I'd recommend Tadpole for a night when you want the opposite of a summer blockbuster buddy flick, with loud explosions, car chases, and a lot of sex and cursing.
