In a summer wrought with action adventures and dramatic epics, it's a refreshing change to trust in the teachings and maturity of a 15-year-old.

The worst movie of 2002: 'Any film with such a formulaic foundation...faces the burden of succeeding in spite of it, yet Tadpole just dumbly offers it back up to us.'

Like a final project from a student film class, it has a raw and unsophisticated look...But that might be a good thing.

The film might have been more satisfying if it had, in fact, been fleshed out a little more instead of going for easy smiles.

The film pivots entirely on Aaron Stanford's performance, and he is super.

Tadpole has more than its share of problems, true, but they are problems that can be borne.

It lacks the lushly romantic sensibility that made Woody Allen's similarly themed (and unfortunately prophetic) Manhattan seem plausible.

While this is no Harold and Maude -- one of the best films about an older woman and younger man -- Tadpole has an irresistible charm.

Short and sweet, but also more than anything else slight… Tadpole pulls back from the consequences of its own actions and revelations.
