Synopsis

An audience and critical favorite at Sundance, Tadpole is a coming-of-age story about a precocious 15-year-old boy, Oscar Grubman (Aaron Stanford), who speaks fluent French, orders fancy food properly, and has a passion for Voltaire. But during a Thanksgiving break from boarding school, he admits that he’s also in love with his stepmother (Sigourney Weaver), whom he feels his workaholic professor dad (John Ritter) is ignoring. Things grow even more complicated after he falls into bed with his stepmother’s best friend (Bebe Neuwirth).
