The movie contains three strong performances, and a subject rarely explored: the affliction of Tourette's syndrome.

Rated: 3/4

The acting of central couple, Tunney and Thomas, is good, but the film can't find the balance between an intriguing character study and a chronicle of illness and its effects.

Though ostensibly honest in its depiction of Tourette's, those with Tourette's may take offense at the implication that they're psychos

I only watched this as I always thought Robin Tunney was a pretty girl. Her acting was first rate as a person victimized by Tourette's Syndrome. A guy from the neighborhood growing up with in high school had it: the symptoms are sad. We felt bad for him as asses always always made fun of him. abused him or a few other challenged kids (I Aused to play pummel the asses that made fun of them; teachers let me get away with it too; now I would be expelled). Anyway Robin's role was spot on. She worked well with Thomas as 2 misfits. Their trip to Niagara was a little arduous but it had to be done. The 2 make it to the Canadian side and it just gets sad. The ending was somewhat depressing as those Canadians are supposed to so niceeeeee. The plot was ok but the acting was really top notch. "Black Barbie, Black Barbie" was the downfall.

Robin Tunney is so good, this is a seriously underrated movie. with underrated performances by a fine cast and director. The story is funny, romantic, dramatic, complicated, and tragic.

Beautiful. The ending I found a bit awkward, but the brilliant photography and Robin Tunney's acting make up for it. More than the sum of its parts.
