He manages to carry this movie all by himself. He should have gotten the Oscar at the time. Not Russel Crowe.There are some scenes, where I can't help myself but to think of the MTV Movie Awards parody with Andy Dick which was done at the time. Rating: (From December Marathons - DISCUSSION AND REVIEW THREAD on December 7th, 2009) Tadpole, a review by RichTadpole Fifteen-year-old Prep student Oscar Grubman (Aaron Stanford) feels that girls his own age haven't lived enough, which is why he's coming home to Manhattan's Upper East Side for Thanksgiving to profess his love to his stepmother, Eve (Sigourney Weaver)--whose marriage to his professor father (John Ritter) has become routine and uninspiring. Unable to find the right moment to express himself, Oscar slips out to a bar after dinner and finds himself drunk and missing his wallet. Walking home, he bumps into Eve's best friend, Diane (Bebe Neuwirth), a sexy chiropractor who offers to take him home to detox. A backrub leads to a kiss, which results in Oscar and Diane spending the night together. Oscar, feeling he has betrayed his true love, must now prevent Diane--who laughs at the whole situation--from telling Eve what has happened between them. Disjointed tale with low-budget digital production values, it is too far a stretch of the imagination to assume so many beautiful middle aged women would fall for a nerdy pretentious academic 15 year old. There are some elements of quite good wry humour, but it is lost in what can best be described as a boring immature Graduate clone. (From Riches Random Reviews on April 5th, 2009) The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ DoenaScooby Doo, Where Are You! What's the show about? Four teenagers - Velma, Daphne, Fred & Shaggy - and their dog, Scooby Doo, solve mysteries of spooky castles, ghosts and monsters that never are what they appear to be. "What a Night for a Knight" When the moon is full the "Black Knight" becomes alive again in a museum and the scooby gang investigates the disapearence of an english professor in such a night. My Opinion Loved the show (and all its successors) when I was a kid, especially Shaggy and Scooby. That was also the reason why I bought both movies.
