Although the film's ending loses some of the oomph and magical charm that CJ and his storyline of Timothy brings throughout the film... The Odd Life of Timothy Green is still "oddly" wonderful and magically charming. November 27, 2019 | Full Review…

From director and writer Peter Hedges comes a wonderful tale about the power of intention, being careful of what you wish for, self-acceptance, love, loss, and new beginnings. June 30, 2016 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Likely to please younger audiences who will find the simple, fairy story style arc comfortingly familiar and the central protagonist quirkily relatable. May 25, 2015 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
