The Odd Life Of Timothy Green


The Odd Life Of Timothy Green is a story about a happily married couple, Cindy and Jim Green (Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton), who can't wait to start a family but can only dream about what their child would be like. When young Timothy (CJ Adams) shows up on their doorstep one stormy night, Cindy and Jim, and their small town of Stanleyvill, learn that sometimes the unexpected can bring some of life's greatest gifts.

This was one of those blatant heartstring movies.  They take some characters and give them a horrible situation - in this case being unable to have children - and milk the sadness out of it as much as they can.  At the risk of losing my man card - I usually love movies like this, but wasn't really hooked by any of the characters.  No hook = no sympathy connection = movie is just kind of there.

I wouldn't really recommend people checking this out.  Well, maybe it was just me and you'll connect with the characters and enjoy a sapfest.  It just didn't work for me at all.
