I teach Family and Consumer Science at one of our six high schools...and this film drives home the importance of the love parents have for their child regardless of whether it's biological or through "adoption". Beautiful lesson about family we can all learn from. I recommend it to everyone!!!

The preview for this movie looked awesome. We found the movie to be disappointing after the climax. The ending was poor. There were so many unanswered questions and the emotions of the actors were not believable. It was not a bad $4 purchase, because it would cost as much to rent it but I wouldn't recommend owning it.

Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Garner are flawless as Timothy's playful and protecting parents, but Timothy carries the story. The setting is the small town of Stanleyville, somewhere in the Midwest (actually filmed in Albany, Georgia). The main industry is a pencil factory where most of the people work. The movie has a range of emotional issues such as father/son relationships, sibling rivalry Cindy and her sister Brenda Best—her name is appropriate, bullying, competition, love and sadness. The movie certainly has a lot of messages but I found it just to be incredibly sweet, good natured and yes there are some incredibly sad parts. This is certainly a movie that uses its imagination to make you smile and cry but there's certainly nothing wrong with that.
Nice, relaxing, feel good movie. Super clean. Looking forward to watching it with my girls (11 and 13) but gonna preface that it’s not fast paced or comedy.
