Overview

Artist Lyle Maze is reconciled to a life without romance thanks to his dual afflictions: Tourette's Syndrome and obsessive-compulsive disorder. But his life takes an unexpected turn when his friend Mike departs on a humanitarian mission, leaving behind his pregnant girlfriend Callie. She leans on Lyle for help, and before long he's Lamaze coach, pinch-hitting father-to-be and in love with Callie.

In the end, you just feel good about these people, and that's a nice sensation these days.

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Rotten

[A] tangled, tortured mess.

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Fresh

The best kind of independent filmmaking to shame the somnolent mainstream.

Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
Fresh

Morrow illuminates all the challenges facing the individual coping with Tourette syndrome while showing that Lyle is much more than the sum of his afflictions.

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Rotten

Shows promise as a first feature ... but overall it feels a little too safe, a little too careful.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
