ScreenIt
C. Fuchs quote iconWhile it's refreshing to see a live-action movie about a kid that doesn't feature the usual cinematic array of scatological humor, zany behavior and such, the film feels like it was harvested before it was fully ripe and ready to be picked for our pleasure.

Tomatometer quote iconIt means well, but The Odd Life of Timothy Green is ultimately too cloyingly sentimental -- and thinly scripted -- to satisfy all but the least demanding viewers.
