Rating: D -- Clearly it's designed to be this heart-warming family fantasy, but I kept thinking as I watched it that the material seemed better suited for a horror film. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- Has ever a film battled more fruitlessly against the creepiness of its own premise than The Odd Life of Timothy Green? Full Review

A fairy tale about parenting that stays kid-friendly without completely glossing over the darker themes of its premise...

Rating: C+ -- The film is schmaltzy and very saccharine, so sweet it'll give you a toothache. Full Review

3 stars out of 5 -- This is the sort of family film they rarely make anymore, a gentle small-town tale of wounded, decent souls and the wide-eyed child who offers salvation....[W]ith strong performances...

Rating: 2/5 -- It's supposed to be magical and charming, of course, but it's more annoying than engaging. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/4 -- While some aspects of the story are pretty predictable, [Peter Hedges] manages to work in a few surprises and, more importantly, conjure plenty of magic and emotion along the way to a satisfying conclusion. Full Review

Product Description:

An infertile plants their hopes for a child in the garden, and receive an unexpected gift when a young boy emerges from the soil claiming to be their son in this enchanting comedy drama from Academy Award-nominated writer/director Peter Hedges (WHAT'S EATING GILBERT GRAPE, DAN IN REAL LIFE). Jim (Joel Edgerton) and Cindy Green (Jennifer Garner) are struggling to accept the fact that they will never conceive a child of their own when, one night during a thunderous storm, a young boy named Timothy (CJ Adams) comes knocking at their door. In time, the prospective new parents and their curious neighbors discover that the most amazing things can happen just when you least expect it.
