The film is schmaltzy and very saccharine, so sweet it'll give you a toothache.
Amanda Mae Meyncke, Film.com
Rotten
It's hard to believe that Hedges once wrote some decent light fiction (What's Eating Gilbert Grape, An Ocean in Iowa) before he started making greeting-card movies like Dan in Real Life and this one.
Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader
Rotten
"There comes a point where "Odd Life of Timothy Green" is just too sentimental and too odd."
Richard Roeper, Richard Roeper.com
Fresh
A fable about parenting and its accompanying joys and sorrows, done in the trademark Walt Disney style of pleasant, feel-good entertainment that doesn't leave much of an emotional trace.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
