Secondhand Lions (DVD, 2004, Platinum Series)

This is a wholesome movie safe for the family but maybe not children under say 8. With Robert Duvall, Michael Caine & Haley Joel Osment (Pay It Forward) its an excellent trio for comedy & yet touching heart felt emtion. Haley who plays Walter a somewhat shy teen is conveniently "abandoned" by his "run around Mom" (while she pursues what she wants)with two some what nutty but harmless Uncles who have some "tales to tell". Not to mention its rumored these nutty uncles have lots of money hidden somewhere that everyone wants (especially Walters Mom) Set in their ways (odd ways at that) the Uncles at first don't really welcome the kid, but given a bit of time they warm up to each other in many unusal ways, forming a very tight bond, only to have Walters way ward Mom return after finding a new boyfiend. But Walter has in the time spent with his Uncles learned some very valuable lessons about life, that helps him in his decision whether or not to go with his Mom.
