Metacritic reviews

There are several Idiot Plot moments when a simple line of dialogue (''He has Tourette's syndrome'') would work wonders but is never said. And yet the movie has a sweetness and care that is touching.

Holds its potentially problematic ingredients together remarkably well, summoning outstanding performances from Morrow and Linney, while never dipping into sentiment or patronizing the ailment's sufferers.

Morrow and his collaborators so clearly believe in this project that I was carried along, often charmed and never bored.

In Linney, Morrow has chosen a formidable co-star, an actress who seems to draw upon an unusual degree of self-awareness to endow every character she plays with dimensions beyond what any script could provide.

It works because this isn't really a "disease" film, it's a love story. It just so happens one of the main characters has Tourette Syndrome. Thus, I too will take the easy way out and say, "it's a good love story...with a twitch."

Well-intentioned but predictable romance.

Although this is a likable comedy-drama, it never quite balances its humanitarian message (disabled people fall in love like everyone else) with its standard-issue romantic angles.

This mishmash of emotional tones can't be redeemed by the performers' considerable investment in their work.

The movie walks a tightrope between playing this misunderstood malady for laughs and sentiment.

Morrow displays keen attention to physical detail, but starring both behind and in front of the camera looks to have been a mistake here.
