I was so hoping this would be whimsical and sweet, like my favorite movie, Big Fish. Instead it is choppy, and leads to many " whaaat?" moments. You could drive a semi through the plot, and I usually am ok with the willing suspension of disbelief. The weird girlfriend who tries to kiss ( ewww this kid is like, 8 ) Timothy is just creepy. No info is offered about her, as a matter of fact few characters are at all likeable. Jen Garner tries very hard, and she is the only glimmer of ok here. so sad, this movie could have rocked. Save yourself some cash, don't bother.
