From director and writer Peter Hedges comes a wonderful tale about the power of intention, being careful of what you wish for, self-acceptance, love, loss, and new beginnings.August 16, 2012
It's hard to believe that Hedges once wrote some decent light fiction (What's Eating Gilbert Grape, An Ocean in Iowa) before he started making greeting-card movies like Dan in Real Life and this one.August 16, 2012
"There comes a point where "Odd Life of Timothy Green" is just too sentimental and too odd."April 04, 2013
Odd indeed.August 16, 2012
A fable about parenting and its accompanying joys and sorrows, done in the trademark Walt Disney style of pleasant, feel-good entertainment that doesn't leave much of an emotional trace.May 26, 2013
Instead of wanting to turn over a new "leaf," I wound up OD-ing on sap.May 19, 2013
As odd as the title suggests, this is a strange and dreadfully overwrought family yarn.July 17, 2013
Even allowing for a certain level of unreality in a movie intended as an allegory, The Odd Life of Timothy Green smells of contrivance and falseness.May 25, 2015
Likely to please younger audiences who will find the simple, fairy story style arc comfortingly familiar and the central protagonist quirkily relatable.April 12, 2013
Not so much moving as stomach churning.August 22, 2012
The film is schmaltzy and very saccharine, so sweet it'll give you a toothache.August 15, 2012
Mostly, The Odd Life of Timothy Green feels contrived , if undeniably sweet.
