If you can get past its thick layer of syrup and molasses, Secondhand Lions reveals itself as a thoroughly decent family film that anyone can enjoy. It gets a little sappy sometimes, but there's something to be said for a movie in which Michael Caine and Robert Duvall play eccentric old brothers who take the easy approach to fishing: instead of a peaceful rod and reel, they use 12-gauge shotguns. When 14-year-old Walter (Haley Joel Osment, teetering on puberty) spends an eventful summer with his great-uncles on their vast Texas farmland (he's been dumped there by his delinquent mom, played by Kyra Sedgwick), he soon discovers they've lived lives full of adventure, excitement, passion, and mystery. Either that or they're old-time bank robbers with a long criminal record, and writer-director Tim McCanlies (who invested similar warmth into The Iron Giant) does a nice job of concealing the truth until the very end. Full of enriching lessons and homespun humor, Secondhand Lions has more substance than most family films. If you enjoyed Holes, you'll probably enjoy this movie, too. --Jeff Shannon

 Great movie January 7, 2009
Just a really fun movie with an enjoyable cast. Very good entertainment. Something for a viewer of any age. Duvall and Caine are perfect in their roles and Osment pulls you right in. Great life lessons. Got this as a gift for a friend and almost kept it.
movie, Secondhand Lions January 6, 2009
The movie is excellent, the shipping and condition of the product were GREAT. Thanks for the speedy delivery.
Should Be A Classic December 28, 2008
This is one of the best movies ever made. A friend told me about it a year ago, but couldn't remember the name of it. One night I caught part of it on TV...and HAD to see the whole thing. When Christmas came around, I bought a copy for the friend who told me about it, and one for myself. The acting, directing, dialogue and plot are all exquisite...I can't believe I missed this movie when it first came out!
While the movie is a great 'coming of age' movie for young people, it is also a reminder to those of us who are on the other side of the hill that we need to live life to the fullest...grab life with both hands and wring every ounce of joy from it. Don't be afraid to shake things up and do outrageous things. As they say in the movie..."Those guys really LIVED!"
Quick and easy December 16, 2008
My dad wanted this movie for Christmas and I found it the cheapest on Amazon. It arrived quickly and was in perfect condition. Thank you!

Thank You,
