A fairly satisfying small-scale drama with some fine musical sidelights. Full Review

Rating: B -- The Tic Code is badly lit and at times, awkwardly inspirational, yet there's real feeling in it. Full Review

A sympathetic but conventional disease-of-the-week movie.

This is the loving accomplishment of The Tic Code, to open a door onto the deepest kind of understanding.

Rating: 3.5/5 -- Ms. Draper's taut, self-effacing, extremely quiet performance is the best thing about the movie. Full Review

Product Description:

A twelve-year-old boy, Miles (Christopher George Marquette), living with his mother in New York City is inspired by the jazz scene and aspires to be a jazz musician like his father. However, Miles is challenged by a neurological disorder that alienates him in school and makes his father uncomfortable. When he meets saxophonist Tyrone Pike (Gregory Hines)--one of his idols, who becomes a father figure to Miles--he tries get Pike to fall in love with his mother. A difficult but heart-warming story, THE TIC CODE features a fantastic musical score and live New York performances.
