Movie Review: The Odd Life of Timothy Green

Out of all the movie choices listed, “The Odd Life of Timothy Green” catches my attention the most. From the word “odd”, I then thought, it would be a peculiar one. So, before I watched this movie, I read its synopsis, hence, raised my curiosity and anticipation more.

Justly, this movie didn't fail my expectations. It was a great and worthy of note kind of story with lovely actors and fine transitions of events. It is suitable for kids, teenagers and of course, adults. I think it is family-oriented and have ample of farce moments that made the movie more amusing to watch. I never get bored watching it even from the start because, the couple, Cindy and Jim sincerely made their actions more in a natural way like it was a true story of theirs. The boy, Timothy, is so adorable that whenever he was being bullied or  intimidated by other kids, I wanted to protect him as mighty as I could like how his parents had done for him. The other actors played their part very well.

The out of the ordinary plot makes this movie exceptional. There’s so much to learn in this movie. Like never giving up even when you give your best shot at something, because, in the right time, something good will happens; one that is more than to what you have expected and eventually become one of your greatest gift. Also, part of being a good parent is making mistakes. And that mistake doesn't mean to paralyze you, but is the reason for doing better and moving on. Being a parent is not as easy as 1, 2, 3, though.

I think this is one of the best movies I've watched thus far and would highly recommend it to others. I love this kind of genres which is Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Comedy and Drama. The farce moments comes in between the serious instances so one could not weep for long. It is very emotional in the beginning and last part that I really burst out into tears. It really appeals to my emotions.

But what I find it funny for my part is that I am not quite sure if they are adopting Timothy or another child when they were storytelling the moments of them with Timothy from the start. And when Timothy is gone, now I’m sure they were adopting another child. I’m a bit happy and sad for the ending. Happy because, they were moving on just as what Timothy had told and wish for them before he left. Sad because, how I wish Timothy would be theirs until the last part.
