The Odd Life of Timothy Green

A childless couple finds a young boy has mysteriously grown from their garden.  He comes with a designed list of quirks and talents that were tailor made for his new family, including some greenery.

This movie was weird, and odd, and disappointing.  I kind of suspected all of this going in and yet I saw it anyway.  I suppose I was hoping it would surprise me and be a bittersweet mix of Pollyanna and Steel Magnolia's.

Nope. Not even close.

It was more like The Buttercream Gang meets On Our Own. (yes, you read that correctly) Horrifically cheesy and frantically annoying.  Young children may like it, but the story itself is really slow and they too might loose interest.

* Not-A-Chance

Rated PG (for language)
