The Odd Life of Timothy Green | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Clearly it's designed to be this heart-warming family fantasy, but I kept thinking as I watched it that the material seemed better suited for a horror film.

The Odd Life of Timothy Green is a refreshingly old-fashioned flick.

While some aspects of the story are pretty predictable, [Peter Hedges] manages to work in a few surprises and, more importantly, conjure plenty of magic and emotion along the way to a satisfying conclusion.

It's supposed to be magical and charming, of course, but it's more annoying than engaging.

Likely to please younger audiences who will find the simple, fairy story style arc comfortingly familiar and the central protagonist quirkily relatable.
