    Amanda Mae Meyncke, Film.com The film is schmaltzy and very saccharine, so sweet it'll give you a toothache. Full review External link
  2. Negative review
    Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader 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. Full review External link
  3. Negative review
    Richard Roeper, Richard Roeper.com "There comes a point where "Odd Life of Timothy Green" is just too sentimental and too odd." Full review External link
  4. Positive review
    Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald 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. Full review External link
