Plot: In this family-friendly comedy drama, Walter (Haley Joel Osment) is a shy and bookish boy just short of his teens whose mother impulsively decides to leave him for the summer with his eccentric grand-uncles, Hub (Robert Duvall) and Garth (Michael Caine). Walter isn't especially happy about being left in the middle of Texas with two old men, while Hub and Garth aren't too pleased to be stuck minding a boy, especially one who isn't accustomed to hunting, fishing, or firearms. When Walter starts hearing local gossip about his uncles' wild and wooly pasts, he begins asking a few questions, and while Hub and Garth don't enjoy having the boy poking into their pasts, as they start telling tales of their youthful adventures, they find themselves itching for some new adventures in their lives. Soon Walter is a semi-willing accomplice as his elderly guardians rediscover the wild, impulsive spirit of youth. Secondhand Lions was produced in part by the well-respected visual effects house Digital Domain, who also helped create the imagery for the film's flashback sequences. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Great Movie!
Added 10/27/2009

This is a Wonderful movie about a young boy who is dumped on his unsuspecting, but wildly adverntuous uncles. As he grows, he learns the true meaning of life and what is truly important. This movie does just that, with great comedy in the evolution of the kids manhood. Great performances by an all star cast, shot in Texas. An all around funny, touching and wishful movie about how all boys should learn to be a man. Deffinately worth having in any collection. Fun for the whole family.

A Neglected Masterpiece
Added 10/22/2009

What a shame that this picture was so poorely promoted. It is one of the best movies ever done, anywhere. It demonstrates briliantly that wonderfull, credible works can be done without tiresome and exagerated special effects. It shows that weird has nothing to do with dirty. And most important, this is a movie about most of men being fundamentaly as God created them: good.

Upside down at 90 in the barn

Sometimes there really is buried treasure at the end of the
story about the mad uncles. In this case the treasure
was their stories about the French foreign legion
and Africa. A boy with a less than truthful mother
finds not one but two father figures in his great uncles.
I really enjoyed this movie and the lion Jasmine.
