    A Warm and Genuinely Entertaining Family Movie.

    by Alon Patterson

    I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The story, albeit implausible, was well crafted, fun to watch and emotionally moving. I see literally hundreds of movies each on screens all around the world. It's what I do. Rarely, do all the right things come together to make a solid family film without special effects, elaborate animation or some other manufactured stimulant to keep the audience sensationalized. In other words, it's the rare movie that can capture the imagination, entertain and actually make you feel good, and do all of those things with a good play, well photographed and executed with solid talent. This is one of those films. In my opinion, given the sophistication of today's kids, I say it's kid safe and family friendly but it does have a PG rating (not sure why) so keep that in mind. Otherwise, see it. You definitely won't be disappointed.

    A VERY SPECIAL FILM

    by wildman92832

    I love all types of movies. From the trailers, I was not too sure about this one, but then I read a review here that said it was "the PERFECT movie" in every way. I I decided to give it a chance. The reviewer and I agree - it was PERFECT. Acting, writing, directing, sound/music, script, etc. One person here said it was "sad" - and yes in some ways it is...but they are missing the whole message of the film. I believe we need ALL TYPES of movies (especially if they are well made!) - and it is exciting to see a WELL MADE "Family" movie!!

    Odd Life of Timothy Green

    by JudyE65

    This was a very cute movie, different, and I really liked it. I took my 6 year old granddaughter and her 9 year old friend and they both really liked it. No scarey parts, just a good old story of a family's love.

    The clips on tv do not do this movie justice

    by Judeaca

    Took my son for his 10th birthday with a bunch of famiily and it was between this and Diary of a Wimpie Kid. I was glad my son opted for this movie. Usually I am very antsy and get sleepy in kids movies but not with this movie. I was pleasantly surprised, it was really good, especially if you are a parent. This is a definite must see and it has a hidden message for all parents in this time where we expect our kids to be so perfect

    LOVED IT!! This movie is appropriate for all ages. Definately a feel good movie for the whole family. The acting was excellent and the little boy who plays Timothy is precious.

    Odd Life of Timothy Green - A MUST SEE

    by culpepperdc2

    I took my 3 grandchildren (ages 6,7 & 9) to see this movie and it did not disappoint. From the parents wanting a child, Timothy showing up and everything in between kept our attention from beginning to end. The cast was superb (especially the character who played Timothy) the plot was easy to follow and the ending was wonderful but sad. As we were leaving the theater, my youngest, Dylan, said he only cried a little bit. After we left the theater, we stopped by for Chinese take-out and as I was looking for my wallet, I found a leaf. It was the weirdest thing because there was no reason for a leaf to be in my purse. This movie was like a miracle for us! We give it a 10+ Debbie Culpepper

    Cute!

    by rgon16

    The story is definitely a little odd, but you can't help falling in love with Timothy. He is the cutest little boy ever and the movie all around is heart warming. You will definitely tear up a bit (several different times). It's a wholesome family movie.

    Touching film

    by Catalina.walker

    My family and I enjoyed this deeper topic of infertility. My 8yr old was apprehensive, but did enjoy the humor Timothy brought to the plot. I enjoyed the unexpected character...the pencil. The writer did a great job bringing in the small town feel of this quaint town. I loved seeing Jennifer Gardner on the big screen. It's a clean movie, with a deeper plot than children are used to. I would recommend it.

    Great movie!

    by alirae92

    This movie was everything I expected it to be, there was a little kid sitting in front of us who ended up crying because he was so touched. Go see it!!

    Sweet movie!

    by

    This movie lived up to my expectations after seeing the promos on TV. My five and seven-year old grandchildren loved it and it held their attention for the entire movie. I was pleased that it was a real movie...not a cartoon...and that there was no violence like with last summer's creepy big CARS movie.

    This was a sweet story with solid messages for kids (and all of us) to remember.

    Great Family Movie

    by arkia72

    I took my 5 year-old and 9 year-old, girl & boy. Both really liked the movie. They understood it and felt the emotions with the movie. It is rare to find a gem that involves both genders and age groups, and Timothy Green did it. I enjoyed the movie as well. From a mother's perspective, the movie was very touching. I cried, both sad and happy tears. All in all, I'm glad I took the kids. The best part was that there weren't any words or issues I that I would have preferred my kids not be exposed to. Genuine family movie.

    Charming

    by suemarie

    Sweet, heartwarming movie that will put a big smile on your face. A boy suddenly comes into the life of a couple that wanted a child more than anything. Timothy has an affect on those who's lives he touches.
    Good for the family.
    Bring the tissues.

    The Odd Life of Timothy Green

    by family_movie_critiic

    Fantastic and sweet family movie. Not only did it make me want to adopt, but I wanted to kiss my daughter and tell her how thankful I am to have her. I highly recommend this movie for adults and children over the age of 7 or 8.

    Parent trap

    by AnimalShack

    The movie seemed very short, and the plot was a little thin, so I have to think that the purpose of the movie was just to jerk every tear possible out of every parent in the audience. My wife's eyes were swollen for an hour after the show. My own were pretty wet when we left. All in all it was a good movie. My 9 yr old boy and 11 yr old girl both loved it.

    Very endearing........

    by kirasmama

    I found this movie charming and endearing. The little boy who played Timothy was great. His movements, facial expressions, gestures....he played a child "new to the world" wonderfully. Many lessons learned from this movie. My 13-year-old daughter loved it as well.
