Tadpole
Looking every bit like the cheap production it is, Tadpole is about a young precocious intellectual teen named Oscar, a Voltaire-loving elitist who scoffs at the very idea of romance with the immature girls his own age. Instead Oscar’s affections are for his step-mother (Sigourney Weaver – never got the attraction myself, but she’s a freaking great actor), a crush that somehow leads to an unlikely affair with her best friend.
Borrowing Woody Allen’s New York and lifting the intellectually whimsical tone of much of Allen’s work, Tadpole is filled with some fine performances but they don’t hide what is a fairly bland, unambitious screenplay – in fact this would be the blandest incest themed film I’ve seen all year.
