Tadpole? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Has anyone here seen it? I saw it the day of its release in NYC. It was better than I had anticipated and Bebe completely stole the movie (as I knew she would)! The whole cast was great, though. I thought I would be completely disgusted with the Oscar/Diane affair, but it was done in good taste.

I was just curious as to see where others stood on the topic. It's a very controversial one. For those of you who don't know, Diane, a 40 year old woman, sleeps with her best friend's step son, who is 15. Oscar, the fifteen year old, is played by 23-year old Aaron Stanford, so Bebe wasn't fooling around with a minor on the set. No worries. LOL!

I've seen tadpoles before, does that count?

It's still in this one small, cheap theatre here and my mom is taking me to see it *big grin* I don't know when, but sometime this week.

I wonder if it's playing in the Boston area. As for where I stand on the topic... A 40-year old and a 15-year old is illegal--it's statutory rape, so I'm against it. To do that with your best friend's step-son makes it even worse from an ethical standpoint.
I'm not against dating younger people either. If a 40 year-old wants to date an 18-year old, then it's their business.
The movie does sound interesting.

I'll take mine to go!
