Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

ferbs54 I have referred to myself as an "all-American, red-blooded pigdog" in some of these reviews, and just to show you the depths of my pigdogishness, I will reveal now that the main reason for my renting out 2000's "Maze" is because I read that it is the perfect film for those who want to see Laura Linney in the, uh, altogether. As it turns out, though, the picture has much more to offer than just those 10 titillating seconds. In it, director/coproducer/co-writer Rob Morrow plays a very talented NYC artist/sculptor named Lyle Maze, who suffers under the double curse of OCD and Tourette's. When his only friend, Mike (played by Craig Sheffer, a poor man's Matt Damon), goes to Burundi for seven months with Doctors Without Borders, Lyle cares for his pregnant girlfriend, Callie, sympathetically portrayed by Laura Linney. (With her "double L" name, a woman who should probably play herself in the next Superman movie!) Callie poses for Lyle, leading to the aforementioned full frontal, and the two become best friends. Maze even becomes her LaMAZE coach, and, inevitably, romance blossoms. Anyway, this is a very sweet little movie, bolstered by fine performances by all. Morrow is quite believable as the afflicted Maze; his tics and mouth pops are quite convincing. To my surprise, this Tourette's sufferer does not seem to have those uncontrollable foul-mouthed tendencies that the stereotype would lead one to expect. The picture has an upbeat, eclectic soundtrack, and director Morrow does just fine, too, although I could have done without those dubious POV shots through Lyle's eyes. Ultimately, Linney steals this picture, however, with her touching and spunky performance. Oh...an added bonus for all you Losties out there. Look sharp: There's Ken Leung, aka Miles the ghost whisperer, giving Callie sonography almost a full decade before setting foot on the Island!

witchy_chick_8 I discovered this movie totally by accident one night when it was on cable and I couldn't sleep - as it was, I didn't end up sleeping until it was over and even then I couldn't stop thinking about it. Laura Linney is, to use a dramatic cliché, and I apologise, magical, but then again she is in almost every role she takes. The title didn't stick in my head and after watching it and loving it so much, I actually couldn't remember what the damn thing was called and have missed out! But now I've rediscovered it and intend to hunt it down at the local video shop and watch it again, four years on! Highly recommend this movie to everyone!

deckerst1 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.

george.schmidt MAZE (2001) *** Rob Morrow, Laura Linney, Craig Sheffer, Gia Carides, Rose Gregorio, Robert Hogan. Morrow - who co-wrote with Bradley White and co-produced - makes his big screen debut to boot as a gifted artist afflicted with Tourette's Syndrome who finds himself babysitting his friend Linney while her boyfriend - and his best friend - Sheffer - is working as a doctor in a third world nation, and the two bond closely when she reveals her pregnancy ultimately leading to love like no other. Fine acting by the two protagonists make up for the tricky camera maneuvers (i.e. Morrow's view point as a herky-jerky shake of the unfolding scenes at hand) in this otherwise unique spin on the suffering artist in love comedy/drama genre.
