A 10 year old gifted boy wants to be a jazz pianist much to the chagrin of his more classical oriented piano instructor. With his mother's help, he is an underage regular at a local nightspot, where he is teamed up with a sax superstar. Both come to learn that each suffers from Tourette's Syndrome (thus the film title). The older man has developed mannerisms to cover up his own fallibilities and resents the boy and his mother's acceptance of the disease.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The Tic Code is the summer's surprise gift, a loving and humane film that rises above the season's overhyped blockbusters like a flower poking up through the concrete.

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

Ms. Draper's taut, self-effacing, extremely quiet performance is the best thing about the movie.

fresh:
Raising it above the usual cliches are the superb jazz music and a sparkling script by lead actress Polly Draper.

fresh:
It's got more genuine-seeming feelings and a more accurate take on its particular corner of the world than a colosseum of summer blockbusters.
