Variety - Unnamed
With just the right dose of magic and no shortage of sentiment, this inspirational parenting tale from writer-director Peter Hedges plays like "Mary Poppins" in reverse.
60
Boxoffice Magazine - Pete Hammond
It's a magical film in the vein of E.T. where an otherworldly event changes a family forever.
60
The Hollywood Reporter - John DeFore
A fairy tale about parenting that stays kid-friendly without completely glossing over the darker themes of its premise.
58
The A.V. Club - Keith Phipps
The Odd Life Of Timothy Green attempts to stage a modern fairy tale in Middle America. But in spite of an abundance of earnestness, the pixie dust needed to create magic remains out of the film's reach.

Time - Mary Pols
Whatever director Peter Hedges' intent, the movie itself, a sentimental blend of magical realism and saccharine emotions, is oddly false. It made me want to go on a sugar cleanse.
