Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Apr 29, 2009

It's a flawed but satisfying movie with a great leading man, and a slew of great supporting performances.

Tyler Hanley Palo Alto Weekly May 20, 2003 3.5/4

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.'

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.
