The Odd Life of Timothy Greene: mediocre at best

So, on the heels of watching an amazing family film, I watched this one, which may or may not be coloring my opinion.  In general, I found this movie confused.  We have this miraculous occurrence of a child growing from a garden, to a set of good-natured and hopeful parents.  But there is a learning curve on how to raise a child.  And so we watch these two bumble around like bats in the open afternoon air.  And in contrast, the focal point of the film, we have this sweet yet odd child who sprang from the ground one night.  Sometimes talented, sometimes not, this kid could test the patience of any parent. So, in the end, I still don't know if the lesson was about the perseverance of parenting or the need to "chillax" what it means to have a perfect kid.
Verdict: rent it if you really want to... (skip)
