 | | PARK CITY -- "Tadpole" is a scrumptious amusement, one of the most satisfyingly cerebral and touching movies ever to play at the Sundance Film Festival. |
 | | A piquant coming-of-age story, for both a perplexed teenage boy and a vibrant middle-aged woman, "Tadpole" is certain to be a word-of-mouth smash hit for Miramax, likely to win accolades and honors about this time next year as one of the best releases of 2002. |
 | | Brimming with vital desires and criss-crossed with understandable confusions, "Tadpole" centers on a precociously intellectual 15-year-old, Oscar (Aaron Stanford), who, owing to his inordinate book smarts, is able to conjecture about all sorts of sophisticated matters. |
