Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good movie
This was a very good movie. It shows a character that we should all have; that we are all human and we should be accepted for our differences.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Great Story Combined With An Accurate Depiction Of TS
The Tic Code has two main focuses - its three main characters, ten year-old Miles, his mother Laura, and professional jazz musician Tyrone; and the Tourette's Syndrome that afflicts two of those characters.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF LIVING WITH TOURETTE SYNDROME...
This is an excellent movie about a twelve year old boy, Miles, an incredibly talented jazz pianist, who has Tourette Syndrome, and the adult male, Tyrone, a sax player, who befriends the boy. It turns out that he, too, has the same affliction, though his manifestations are more controlled. This is also the story of Miles' mother, who tries to grapple with the issue, while the boy's father, from whom she is divorced, is in complete denial. This is basically a story about life, and the way Tourette Syndrome ... Read More
