Review of Tadpole (2002) by Mitchell S — 16 Jul 2017
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.
