'The Odd Life of Timothy Green' is a heart warming movie that will make you want to cry. But you know you shouldn't cry because everything that happened in the movie seems a bit far stretched. Even for a Disney like movie. It is sort of like a 'When you wish upon a star' type of movie.
The movie begins with two adults who are trying to start a family and end up coming home crying with the news that they have no hope of starting there family. Crushed, they sit on the couch writing down all the traits the could want in the child they would never have. Then they gather all the papers and put them into a beautiful looking box which is then planted into the family garden.
While the two are asleep a freak thunderstorm appears and dumps a ton of rain. Then a ten year old boy, covered in dirt, comes out of the garden, and into there lives. He looks like any other boy, besides the leaves on his calves.
During the whole movie his parents are trying to be the absolute best parents possible. Which turns them into the over-protective parents that no one wants to have. But young Timothy sticks with them and becomes everyones dream child.
The movie was a nice try for a inspirational movie but they just pushed to hard into trying to make it that.
