At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The story is really neat for a family audience, especially for those who have kids at Timothy's age. All the usual clichés of a family and parenthood movie is served, nothing really gets left out. Yet the story took it a step too far in depicting Timothy's innocence. A bit too much that it turned my curiosity into pity and further a bit into irritation that the kid should be treated that way and he just swallowed it. The eventual finale is very much predictable but it served its purpose well enough. The acting overall is quite a good one in my view. Jennifer Garner seem to be in her comfort zone with her role here. But Joel Edgerton played well enough that it kind of surprised me due to his image at action roles.

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.

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.
