Movie Reviews of Tadpole
Movie Review: cultural decay: lack of morals or manners but plenty of culture
Summary: 2 Stars
For me it was kind of sick with two 40 year old
women making over a dopey 14 year old.
They all deserve a good talking to about
their morals and manners?
Just a very ugly attempt at humor or coming of age.
I pretty much hated it.
Movie Review: Overrated clap-trap
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie is unbelievable from the very start. It looks like it was filmed on videotape using very cheap sets to boot. I haven't seen a film look this bad since the no-budget explotation films of the 70's were around the drive-in circuit. I'll leave the technical explanations as to why to the previous reviews.In an early scene during a party in an apartment the characters are standing so close as to be completly unrealistic and obvious it was done for the camera shot. But aren't we supposed to forget this isn't real life when we watch it? It actually mostly looks very much like a play, then a cheap made-for-tv movie, largely because of the CONSTANT close up shots of characters faces ( an old trick used for TV movies and soap operas to may them look less cheap).
As to why women are attracted to this kid is also a mystery, especially someone with a much sense as Bebe Neuwirth's character seems to have.
John Ritter does his usuall poor acting job (sorry, John). I have never seen Ritter do anything where I wasn't painfully aware that he was acting, and is totally unblievable as Weavers husband. As far as I go, I consider this guy the luckiest actor ever to have actually stayed employed throughout his life to be blatantly honest.
At least S Weaver and Nuewirth can act, but I don't think this will ever go down as being anything but a forgotten sidenote in either of their acting careers.
At least the movie starts off with a very nice jazzy little tune to accompany the opening credits. as well as a nice manily acoustic, jazzy little music score that wouldn't be out of place in a Woody Allen film. It deserves to be used in a better film than this.
At an incredibly short 80 minutes (by todays standards) it still tests your ability to sit through the entire thing.
Movie Review: been done better before
Summary: 1 Stars
I like the Idea of the film&it's cool from that perspective but the acting&direction of the film never fully get to the point of where it should.it takes on more than it can muster.a waste of John Ritter's Talent in this film.
