Tadpole (2002)
Overview
Beautiful, sophisticated women are all over Oscar Grubman. He is sensitive and compassionate, speaks French fluently, is passionate about Voltaire, and thinks the feature that tells the most about a woman is her hands.

But there is one major problem--Oscar's true love is his stepmother Eve.
