Qasim R Ending is not good. . Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/02/23 Full Review steve d Well all I can say is it has a young Kate Mara and the rest of the film is really uncomfortable. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Tadpole is about a 15 year old boy who lusts after his step-mother and sleeps with her best friend. The young male/older female relationships form the backbone of Gary Winick's coming-of-age tale, and the film mixes elements of Rushmore and The Graduate to create an enjoyable comedy. The script, credited to Heather McGowan & Niels Mueller, is smart, witty, and occasionally very funny and the top-notch cast brings the story to life with aplomb. Sigourney Weaver elevates anything she appears in and this film is the prove of it. (Great low budget comedy drama). Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review nefasto r Ok, Obviously you will have to be in a light mood, and to keep your expectation low. It's a low budget, scruffy filmed little comedy. But what I can say, I loved it. Maybe I just need it after some full-of-itself art-film. Plus I am very sympathetic with someone falling in love with Ellen Ripley! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie had me at hello...beautiful older woman. No one likes a good May-December romance as much as I do. Funny, steamy and taboo are the delicious results of a great setting. But Tadpole is about as sexy as varicose veins and about as funny as statutory rape. This film represents the very worst of independent filmmaking. Horrible miscasting, pseudo-intellectual dialogue that reads like Internet articles coming out of characters' mouths, and scenes played for comedy that not only have awkward timing, but seem completely ignorant of the most basic sitcom rules. Being a proverbial celebrity hater, it surprises me to say this, but this is one of the few movies in which I actually felt sorry for the film's actors. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member A tadpole of a film and I get the allusion to frogs. Seems a bit racist but usual from the englishes. Well, I am shocked that the englishes allowed this film to be made. The boy's age is not even legal in Canada anymore, imagine in the USA! OMG, pedophiles! Also such a fantasy to kiss Sigourney.... mmmmmhhh. Oh pardon, I was daydreaming for a minute. The film production is quite low to the point of thinking it was a student project. Mmmmh, maybe the student project of our main actor to get some kissing with Sigourney fantasy job... Well in that case it is perfectly understandable and I would totally lend my hand to such venture and please make it a film I can see so that I get some fantasy time with SW. Mmmmmh...
