The Odd Life of Timothy Green (d: Hedges, 2012) - Jennifer Garner, Joel Edgerton
Cindy and Jim Green, a couple residing in Stanleyville, are told they are unable to conceive, so they dream up their ideal offspring and write the child's characteristics and life events on pieces of paper, including "scoring the winning goal." The Greens place the notes in a box and bury the box in their backyard.
After a stormy night, a 10-year-old arrives at their doorstep, claiming the Greens as his own. Soon they realize that the child, named Timothy, is far more special than they originally thought.

I saw it a few weeks ago and thought it was a pleasant movie - great work by Edgerton and Garner carry the movie - there is nothing overly special about it, but it is a nice, sweet, feel good family flick, with no objectionable content. I would recommend it but not something you need to rush out and see right away IMO.

Pretty much what mdc3000 said. Pleasant and endearing, a bit too sentimental, appealing to parents. 3.5 stars out of 5.
