The Odd Life of Timothy Green (2012)

Absolutely the worst movie.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

The first must-see film of the year.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The Odd Life Of Timothy Green is a 2012 fantasy and tales the tale of a childless couple played by Jennifer Garner in her Disney debut and Joel Eggerston who both work with dealing with pencils and they would love to have a child but struggle to have one until one night they write a bunch of stuff and put it in a box and dig it under ground. Of course that night and a child enters there life? Could he be brought together by Jennifer and Joel's charcthers? So the child is called Timothy Green (hence the title)and his got leaves grown on his legs(yup im really not kidding here,his GOT LEAVES on his legs, strange huh). Timothy has to wear socks at all times so that he can't be notice with having leaves grown on his legs. So can Jennifer and Joel keep Timothy forever? Well tune in to find out.Bottom line this is one weird movie. I like Jennifer Garner since 13 Going on 30 but I may never know why this movie was made. My advice watch Nostlagic Critic's review of this movie and you know how bad it is.

Ouch Walt Disney ... and yes I immediately had a feeling that this would be a pedantic family movie with a whopper of a moral. An enormous tearjerker which will give me a flashback of 40 years ago with my sniffing sisters on a pouffe staring at a similar funeral mood movie.But to be honest ... this film charmed me in a subtle way. The beautiful environment in which it all happened, the woods and the swirling leaves, the typical local farming village with a dying pencil factory and Pencil Museum, the social ties between the people, the snobbish irritating family and the chilly in-an-ivory-tower-living manager. This along with the lovely-looking Timothy who is super cuddly with his twinkling eyes and who appears in the lives of Cindy and Jim, a childless couple that while enjoying a glass of wine in the evening make a list of the ideal son, put it in a cigar box and plant it between the vegetables. From there, you know step by step what's going to happen, what's expected and what's the outcome ... but for once I didn't care, because I enjoyed it.A family movie that surely deserves a place in the gallery of "The better family movies ever". A smile, a tear and a sad but ultimately happy ending.Well, the advantage of getting older is that you also can appreciate such movies.The best and most funny moment was the prediction that Timothy, as a abominably bad soccer-player, would score the winning goal, came true ... except on the wrong side.More reviews at http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/

I loved this movie. Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Garner make a wonderful set of parents. I love both of them on any day and as enthusiastic and lovable parents they are fantastic. A lovely and moving fairy tale a sort of Cinderella in reverse. Sympathetic moving and lovable. I like Benjamin Button and this is sort of like it. The child is sympathetic and has a great future as an actor - he played the role really well. I just love slice of life movies and this is a good one. Joel Edgerton is a wonderful Australian actor serious but full of enthusiasm and good will. (See The Secret Life of Us if you want to know why). Jennifer Garner is 13 going on 30 all over again - gentle and honest. I just love it.

I think people have definitely been negatively overreacting about this film. Yes, the movie does have a bit of depressing feel (and ending) but that doesn't make it a bad movie. Some people complain that there was not enough magic involved, but just because that's a part of the storyline doesn't mean the whole story needs to center around that! I thought that while this movie was somewhat unusual, the acting was still great and I believe unusual is good. The emotional factor of this movie was probably its strongest point, as I was definitely getting teared up at a few points. It made me think about the value of our time in life, and I believe any movie that really makes you think is worth your time. While you probably won't leave thinking this is your favorite movie ever, I believe anyone could enjoy it, as long as they come in with an open mind.
