ashlee2706 after reading some of the reviews for this film i was left feeling unsure about whether i wanted to watch it or not but my love for Jennifer garner and Joel Edgerton influenced me to take a chance and it did not disappoint! Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton were a perfect choice for the roles of Cindy and Jim green. Their acting was definitely commendable, the story line however was amazing in an entirely different way. The story was original and the way the movie was shot (setting, cast, costume, language etc) added a different kind of magic to it. The Odd Life Of Timothy Green was the kind of movie that can make you laugh and cry, it was truly a magical and utterly heart warming story. One of my favourite aspects of this movie was the town it was set in, as mentioned above the setting definitely adds to the spark of the film but the colours used in the town and the colours in the forest was delightful and was very warming. This is one of the very few films i would definitely recommend to people of all ages as it was an absolute pleasure to watch.

Christopher Mueller This film has been despicably misinterpreted by other critics.It is a story of parenthood and how children can teach you so much. It is unfair that people do not see that.DO NOT listen to them - watch this with your family.It is a great film - of course, some poorly produced scenes and some repetitive scripting but compared to the cliché stuff coming from Hollywood, I cannot see how that is such an interruption for the audience of this film.The actor playing Timmy is also very good.Watch this film, and, in the words of Timmy, "Never Give Up."

Naijshua I finished watching this film tonight and I'm glad I decided to watch it. If I were to listen to others I wouldn't been able to tell you how great it is. It could have been worst but I discovered for myself that it was great. Like all things in life you should try to take in as much as possible until your time is up. Enjoyable characters, wholesome story, and it just made me smile. Even teared up at the end.I'll definitely recommend this movie to friends with the warning always form your own opinions. I hope anyone reading this opts to do the same. Damn I should have a been actor ..... may it's not to late ;) for now I'll just keep watching random movies as inspiration and hoping I keep running into the films like this one.

ilania_a I expected a D movie and it became almost a B, despite the fact that a pure beautiful legend stemming from nature was transformed into the American concept of what a boy should be. I personally was quite uncomfortable with those leaves falling off one by one a fact that gave the story away quite fast. This director is basically a writer (About a Boy) I suppose a different director, and a stronger cast could have given better results. Jennifer Garner was not at her best. Her husband Joel Edgerton was well cast. The boy CJ Adams failed to make his mark. On the other hand young Joni Odeya Rush proved to be a beautiful, seasoned actress. David Morse made his mark despite the tiny part he was given in this story. It is a family film and there are not too many of those around.
