Just hoping anyone living in the US will watch on Sunday.

Front of the Class is inspired by the true story of Brad Cohen, a young man diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome who overcomes considerable odds to become a gifted teacher. Based on Brad's award winning book, Front of the Class: How Tourette Syndrome Made Me the Teacher I Never Had, this poignant TV feature is an accurate and inspiring depiction of this much misunderstood neurological disorder.

I've seen the ads for this and was wondering what the main theme was; I'll check it out!
Hollywood, CA -> London, UK 2004
London, UK -> Long Beach, CA 2007

Best 3 1/2 years of my life!

This is on tomorrow night for everyone in America.  My parents (Who are in LA at the moment) saw it on Thursday night said it was very good and gave it a four tissue rating.

I've got it set to record on DVR. I probably won't get a chance to watch it until later in the week though.

My DW is downstairs watching this right now. Not my kind of flick. A chick flick maybe?

I missed the beginning, but I caught the last hour. It was definitely a chick flick. Lots of cheesy chick flick music! I didn't realize he was a teacher in GA. Apparently he still teaches here as well.

Very "hallmark", but I still got sucked in and now I'm sleepy because I didn't get to sleep till after 11!

May I ask why you are interested in seeing this film, Stacey?

My family has very strong ties to the Tourette Syndrome Association.

Perhaps it's too bad that the advertising didn't let on what it was really about, as I was ready to dismiss it as a cheesy Hallmark tv flick, so thank you Stacey for pointing out that there was more to it than that!
KNOWING that it's Hallmark, of course it's going to be cheesy!  I think there is a difference between cheesy and chick flick, as I wouldn't think of this as a chick-flick.

I thought it was a great true-life story and very inspiring; which I don't think we can ever have enough of.
I even wondered if that actor had Tourettes, as that's GOT to be hard to play!

It was great, cheese and all :)

That is a shame about the advertising.  They really should have at least mentioned it. 

Yeah, I think it goes without saying that Hallmark=Cheesy ;D 

I don't think the Actor has Tourette, but not positive.  If anyone saw the Tic Code, which came out about eight years ago, the actor in that was Amazing and he didn't have Tourette.

I saw a preview and interview of this when I was in the US. Looked really good.
