Okay we’ll admit it: The Odd Life of Timothy Green is a very odd movie indeed. In a mere 125 minutes you will, without a doubt, laugh, gasp, sob, and smile, and then want to call up your parents just to say you love them. Oh yes, it’s a Disney movie all right, but before you pass judgment on this PG flick, we suggest you read on.

Jim (Joel Edgerton) and Cindy (Jennifer Garner) Green desperately want a child to love, but after learning their dreams are heart-breakingly impossible they decide to bury their hopes. Literally. The adorable couple writes down all the characteristics they would hope to see in a child and buries the notes in a box in their backyard.  One stormy night – and in true Disney fashion – ten-year-old Timothy (CJ Adams) sprouts from the garden, leaves and all, to claim the Greens as his own.

Hollywood.com recently sat down with the always-lovely Garner, and we were surprised to learn that one of the sweetest moments in the movie was actually the scene she most dreaded. “It was painful!” she reveals with a laugh. Plus, Garner shares the cutest story starring her real-life hubby Ben Affleck. You’ll never guess which celeb’s property the actor was able to charm his way into.
