| Movie Description Set in Texas in the 1950s, SECONDHAND LIONS tells the touching story of Walter (Haley Joel Osment), a shy teenager sent to stay with two estranged uncles for the summer. Various rumors surround the two uncles (played by Robert Duvall and Michael Caine), mostly because the duo have only recently resurfaced into family life after 40 years spent carrying out misdeeds and illicit activities. The one fact about the men, of which Walter's mom is only too aware, is that they appear to be extremely wealthy, having stashed over one million dollars in cash at an undisclosed location. After initially balking at Walter's inherent shyness and nervous disposition, the two men soon warm to the child, and proceed to tell him some incredible tales of their adventures. Director Tim McCanlies lets SECONDHAND LIONS unfold at a leisurely pace, allowing Caine and Duvall to play off each other and slowly bring Osment's character out of his shell. As all the characters become invigorated by the stories and tall tales, a neat bond is formed between them, with some touching interplay and valuable lessons in life for Osment. This is a moving coming-of-age film that the whole family can enjoy.

Reviews  Great Family Entertainment~Extremely Funny Movie~WorthReview created: 03/09/08(updated 05/18/08) by:  1 of 1 people found this review helpful. Great Family Entertainment~Extremely Funny Movie~Worth watching more than once. This movie is a throw-back ij time, to the 50's era. Josh Lucas (of "A Beautiful Mind") gets a phone call telling that his two great-uncles have been in an accident. Young Haley Joel Osment is literally dropped off with great-uncles Michael Caine and Robert Duvall by his mother Kyra Sedgwick. The two are supposed to have a huge fortune somewhere on their farm in Texas and Sedgwick, along with several others, have been trying to find the treasure for years. Osment seems out-of-place at first and his two uncles appear to be cold-hearted. Duvall is seen sleep-walking and acts like he is sword-fighting. Osment has never seen anyone act this way before and he becomes curious. He finds a photo of the beautiful and exotic Emmanuelle Vaugier in the house's tower and his want to know the pasts of his uncles'. Caine tells Osment at the start of World War I the two uncles joined the French Legion, fighting with the Allies. Caine tells of Duvall's love for Vaugier when he was a young man. She was also wanted by an evil sheik (Adam Ozturk) The story concludes and Osment finds out how the two got their money. "Secondhand Lions" -an old lion that Duvall and Caine buy-is one of those movies that makes you wonder why hollywood does not produce more like it. Give this one "Two Thumbs Up" Five Stars ***** Review ID: 10000000006103123 Was this review helpful?

Report this review Awesome family movie!Review created: 07/05/06 by: I absolutely loved Secondhand Lions, as well as my children. I considered this movie to be a family movie. There's a couple of curse words and 'fantasy' violence (no blood, etc)but nothing that needs more than the PG rating it has. The acting is superb which you would expect with veteran actors Michael Caine and Robert Duvall and Haley Joel Osment has proved to be an experience actor. There's nothing about this movie I didn't like:) Review ID: 10000000001302246 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
