Yes, the film is a bit corny and goody-goody, and yes, it does resemble a Disney production. But in the end, it will make you a better person for having seen and understanding it. Tourette's Syndrome is not a joke as it is portrayed insensitively by South Part and Cartman; it is an incurable, miserable, handicap that requires an extremely resilient personality to withstand. Brad Cohen was that type of person; one who fought "his companion" tooth and nail for his entire young life. If you can't get inspired by this film, then there is probably very little in life that will ever inspire you. Like the films The Miracle Worker and My Left Foot, it is a story about beating overwhelming odds to gain entry into that most common of all societies; the every-day person of the work world. It is amazing what we all take for granted. After seeing this film, you might appreciate what you have in life a little bit more.
