The Odd Life of Timothy Green Ratings & Reviews
Film.com
Amanda Mae Meyncke
The film is schmaltzy and very saccharine, so sweet it'll give you a toothache.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
This sweet, whimsical, bittersweet tale is one of the summer's nicest surprises.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
A stupendous cast is completely wasted in underwritten roles as various family members and employers in the town's sole enterprise: pencil production.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
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.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
It seems as if Zappa had a good premise, but neither he nor Hedges could expand upon it without resorting to clich.
ScreenCrush
Jordan Hoffman
My eyes rolled so many times I probably looked like I was having a stroke.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Mostly, The Odd Life of Timothy Green feels contrived , if undeniably sweet.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
The lack of focus in the narrative and the rather grating performance from the young man playing its title character causes it to annoy more than entertain.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
It's the sort of thing you'll either find enchanting or an excellent reason to reach for the Scotch.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Anyone with an expectation of reality, or an aversion to mawkish melodrama, should probably stay home.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Hedges is a determined romantic and a bit of a saphead. He's also humane.
Detroit News
Tom Long
"The Odd Life of Timothy Green" is the sort of movie you actually hope kids see. How rare is that?
New York Post
Kyle Smith
[It] invites critical derision, and Mom always taught me it was rude to refuse an invitation.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Someday we should hold a contest to see who's better at smiling through tears: Robin Williams or Jennifer Garner.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Not only is the story dreamed up by producer Ahmet Zappa even odder than the title indicates, its execution gets increasingly irritating as the film goes on.
San Francisco Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
A sun-dappled, heartwarming family film about a 10-year-old who sprouts out of the garden one magic night. It stars an extraordinary boy, C.J. Adams, with an extraordinary pair of gray eyes that gleam with joy and insight.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
The movie should have been called Diary of a Wimpy Forrest Gump.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
A pleasant if occasionally humdrum fairy tale, "The Odd Life of Timothy Green" lets us spend two hours in the company of some very nice people.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
The ghastliness of this damp and squishy comedy is the byproduct of a confused and earnest sentimentality, a willful devotion to wide-eyed wonder that confuses simplicity with simple-mindedness.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
It is sweet but tries to avoid sentimentality, at least for as long as it can. And the casting of CJ Adams as the title character goes a long way toward forgiving the lapses.
