Synopsis
Set in a romantic vision of New York City at the start if the holiday season, TADPOLE is a witty, fresh and irreverent comedy of our time.
Oscar Grubman (Aaron Stanford) is a true renaissance man. He is sensitive and compassionate, speaks fluent French and is conversant in the classics, and can tell all he needs to know about a woman with one look at her hands. Oh, and by the way, he's 15.
As he returns from boarding school to his parent's New York City apartment for Thanksgiving, Oscar has one thing on his mind: older women. When a beautiful 40-something friend of the family actually takes notice of his infatuation, the comedic complications start piling up.
