"Jaded viewers might dismiss &amp;quot;The Odd Life of Timothy Green&amp;quot; as a cheesy weepie for moms, and they wouldn't be all wrong. It is sentimental. It is particularly heartfelt for parents. And, yes, it is likely to make you cry, or at the very least get glassy eyed with emotion. Newcomer Adams is reminiscent of Haley Joel Osment circa The Sixth Sense. He's expressive and earnest and easy to root for as a different but lovable tween who's honest to a fault and can bring out the best in even the most off-putting people (like his surly grandfather, played by David Morse, or the town's mean patroness, Dianne Wiest). \nEdgerton and Garner are versatile performers who can go from spies and baddies to the sweetest of small-town parents, and it works -- but you have to be willing to accept the movie's sugary sprinkling of magic. Of course Timothy isn't \"believable,\" but neither was Mary Poppins. What is believable is that children, through their unfettered optimism and penchant for truth-telling, have the power to not only change their parents but to touch others in a meaningful way. And no matter how syrupy that message may be, it's one that's worth internalizing and holding dear to our hearts."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
