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.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I just recently discovered this wonderful movie. I love movies that make me laugh and cry.Rob Morrow was so believable in his role. I will probably watch this movie over and over. We need more movies like this-people movies.I was so impressed with the storyline, the acting was terrific, I can't believe I haven't found it until now, but it made my whole day and I'll be passing it on to everyone I know who likes good movies. I also loved the soundtrack and have looked all over for it, and I cannot find it anywhere. If someone knows where I can get it or have one to sell, please contact me. I collect soundtracks and would like to add this one to my collection. Thanks.

Craig Sheffer and Rob Morrow worked good to make this film great I loved it.It was a good film and it was good But Craig Sheffer was talented once again in the film like all the others.It was truly a great film.Craig Sheffer puts alote of heart into every movie he is in and show. Rob Morrow also had a very exciting performance. But Craig Sheffer's was better. Well He is outstanding. Craig also looks like David Boreanaz the guy off of Angel. Heck I loved this movie so much I laughed at it. Because Rob Morrow is so funny. This movie rocked but it never was in any theaters and that sucks. This was a Great performance for Craig Sheffer since KIllerBuzz was made in 1998.Awesome Movie!

At first the Tourette's Syndrome symptoms were so disconcerting and disturbing to me, that I couldn't concentrate on the story, but once I got past that (and I can't even pinpoint where in the movie that occurred), I thought the movie was very well done, the story and the acting, and thought Rob Morrow was excellent as were many of the others. I would suggest though, that it would be a good idea to do a little research on Tourette's Disease, before you see the movie, in order to better understand what the main character is going through.

When I come across a movie that is directed by and stars a former TV actor who has only done sporadic film work, I worry that it is a vanity piece and not worth the price of the popcorn accompaniment.I am always happy when I turn out to be wrong.Maze is a very nice little film. Not great. Not staggering. It is just quite good. It concerns the flowering relationship between an afflicted artist and the girlfriend of one of his buddies: how and why it happens, the inner turmoil that results and the logical conclusion to the relationship of the three main characters. It doesn't stray from the focus on the main characters and in the course of the film we see and understand how they came to be where they are. To be honest, I have always considered Laura Linney and Rob Morrow to be only adequate actors. They are pleasant enough to watch, but I have never expected much from either. Even with Linney's recent critical acclaim, I didn't expect much from her in this film. Again I was wrong about both actors. Morrow does quite a good job giving us a character afflicted with Tourette's without it either being soooo distracting as to be annoying or looking like a histrionic excorcism. I felt that he was able to show a character that was crippled by his place in society but still letting us see that underneath was a basically good person. And letting us see that good person makes it believable that Laura Linney's character would love him, despite his disease's symptoms. Linney as well gave a performance of growing depth and understanding. We see her character move from genuinely liking Morrow as a comfortable friend to loving him as the true partner she wanted all along. We see it in her eyes when she looks at him, when they work and read together and in the very simple act of taking his hand and quietly calming him while sitting in an audience at a recital.If you enjoy simple, focused, character movies, I would suggest checking Maze out at your local video store.
