I had the honor of receiving one of the most magical family movie's recently to review. The movie is Disney's The Odd Life of Timothy Green. It is truly a movie you can feel good about watching as a family.
The story starts with Cindy (Jennifer Garner) and Jim Green (Joel Edgerton) finding out that it will not be possible to conceive a child. More than anything they want their own child and they start to envision what this Perfect Child would be like as seen through this clip.
They write down all of their thoughts on little scraps of paper and bury them in the yard in the garden. Miraculously a little boy comes to them during the night with leaves growing out of his legs.

This little boy truly touches everyone he meets despite being different. Everyone is changed for the better after meeting him.
I have to bring up one quote that I absolutely loved. On Timothy's first day of school, Jim Green says to him "Have a good day" and Cindy says to him "too much pressure" and he then says "Have the day you have". I love that!

Here's some behind the scenes from Director Peter Hedges':
The relationship between the characters was so real. Especially between the Green family. Here is some behind the scenes on Jennifer and Joe's On-Screen Relationship
Timothy also met a friend and through Timothy she embraced how she was different.
I am not going to lie there is a sad ending and I did cry, however it was an uplifting ending too that makes you feel that everything is going to be ok.
Here are some activities you can do that is great for the holidays with pictures of family on a tree:
