The woman is ridiculously annoying. The guy is not much better.

Also, I called the boy dying. It's friggin' obvious -_- This film...

But he didn't die! He was harvested by God to be used in his special marinara recipe! Timothy Green is actually basil.

Nope, he's an incredibly embarassing subversion of the German children's book My Magical Friend Sams, which is about a pig-nosed, blue-freckled creature called Sams, that visits particularly weird people on particularly weird Saturdays and poses as their child for some time, granting them wishes, which makes its freckles disappear one by one, and once they're gone, the Sams leaves for someone else.

Speaking of Nostalgia Critic's review, I don't think he properly got across just how creepy the synchronization between the parents is. It's beyond Finishing Each Other's Sentences; they basically act as one person. It's most apparent in the soccer game scene, where the movie keeps cutting back and forth between the mother bragging to her sister and the father bragging to his father. I swear I maybe heard them argue once in the entire movie, and I'm pretty sure it only lasted a minute tops.

I dunno, maybe it's because I'm too used to being around my parents, who seem to want to strangle each other half the time they're forced to be with each other for too long without any drinks.

Personally I get the concept, who hasn't heard of the old Cabbage Patch Baby Myth. However the execution was poor.

[up]*raises hand*

I have heard of finding a baby in a garden abandoned, though, and another story of finding a baby in a garbage can in NYC.

[up][up] I haven't. Though it wouldn't be the weirdest myth I've heard.

This movie reminded me of that Fairly Oddparents episode where Timmy wishes for "everything in Moms garden to come to life", and (unbeknownst to him) this includes his dead hamster. grin

"With hard work and dedication, I will become a splendid ninja!"

It would be nice to have a trope page for it, though.

We played this at work when it came out, since it was supposedly a kids' movie. I did not care about it one lick. I could watch it for hours, considering I was working Electronics at the time and was stuck either watching TV or fiddling with computers when there wasn't somebody needing help or a display needing work done. But I really didn't give a shit. It's way too sappy to care about, so I just shut my brain off and let it flow on by.
