Polly Draper must be congratulated for writing the screen play in which this film is based. Tourette Syndrome is something most people have no idea what it's all about, yet when one sees someone who suffers from it, one has no clue what the disease does to the sufferer.
Gary Winick has directed a film that dares to put out front a young boy who has TS and has to deal with the prejudice he encounters in his own world. It also presents a talented saxophonist that is also afflicted with the syndrome and how these two people form a bond that is based on mutual respect and their love for the music that they both love: Jazz!
Gregory Hines, a fantastic performer and a great all around talent, is Tyrone the sax player. Chris Marquette plays the young boy Miles whose love for the music helps him deal with the Tourette that afflicts him. Polly Drape, as Laura, Miles' mother, has some good moments in the film. Bill Nunn, Tony Shalhoub, Carol Kane, Desmond Robertson have supporting roles.
The musical score for the film is excellent. We hear some of the best jazz musicians creating some exciting music in the background and we get to see their world as well. The film will warm your heart.
