Tadpole (2002) is a sly, bittersweet coming‑of‑age comedy about Oscar Grubman — the French‑speaking, Voltaire‑quoting teen who believes a woman’s hands reveal her soul and who, on a Thanksgiving train ride home from Chauncey Academy, confesses a shocking plan: he’s in love with his stepmother Eve. In this article we’ll dive into the film’s polite absurdity and romantic awkwardness, and tell you where to stream it right now — whether that’s on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or Apple TV+.

Tadpole

Synopsis

Oscar Grubman attracts the attention of elegant, worldly women wherever he goes. Tender-hearted and empathetic, he speaks perfect French, devours Voltaire, and believes that a woman’s hands reveal her deepest nature. On the train back from Chauncey Academy for the Thanksgiving holiday, he confides in his closest friend that this break will be his chance to win the love he longs for—only to reveal that his true love is his stepmother, Eve.
