Frog

About This Movie

Frog is a quirky little TV movie that blends comedy and family charm in a rather unpredictable way. Directed by David Grossman, it weaves a whimsical tale around Arlo Anderson, a reptile-loving teen who, in a moment of desperation, decides to buy a rare frog instead of taking his date out. What he gets is Gus, an Italian frog with a royal lineage and a witch's curse hanging over him. The performances are delightfully offbeat, especially with how they handle the absurd premise. The pacing is reminiscent of classic 80s family flicks, with a mix of lighthearted humor and some surprisingly engaging themes of friendship and self-discovery. The practical effects used for Gus are a bit charmingly dated, but they add a unique touch to the film's overall atmosphere.
