A very entertaining and intelligently scripted comedy, "Tadpole" focuses on 15-year-old Oscar Grubman (Stanford) who is mature beyond his years and finds himself in a web of adult play which leads to a series of humorous intrigues only the silver screen can capture so well. No spoilers here, just see it and enjoy. Bebe Neuwirth shines, as do Sigourney Weaver, John Ritter and the entire cast, tightly knit, all on their toes, led by brilliant newcomer, Aaron Stanford. Watch for him; he's clearly going places.
