DVD Reviews of Secondhand Lions (New Line Platinum Series)
DVD Review: Secondhand Lions
Summary: 5 Stars
Secondhand Lions is a great film, it is for all ages. We had people from 9 up to 70 something watching and everyone enjoyed it. We have movie nights frequently and someone will suggest Secondhand Lions as their entry. It always gets more than one vote. It is set in the 60's, it is about a boy who is left with his great uncles for the summer. He learns about their adventures in Africa when they were younger. One of the uncles tells him the story up to the end, he tells him if he wants to know the rest he must ask the other uncle. There is humor and lessons learned in this movie. I know that this will be a cherished family movie for years to come. Robert Duvall out does himself. Love it, Love it, Love it!DVD Review: Best feel good movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
Came across this movie by accident one day - from that moment on, I was hooked. Have watched it numerous times since then, and will certainly watch it many more times. You can't beat Michael Caine and Robert Duvall who play off of each other so wonderfully and naturally - and Haley Joel Osment is such a lost soul in this story - the interactions of all three throughout the movie and the subtle growth of the characters will touch you - whether you want them to or not; and a lion who has very little screen time, but certainly makes the most of it. I laughed, I cried, and when the story ended, I was left with a really warm, "feel good" feeling that stayed with me for a long time. This movie is a keeper! DVD Review: Excellent comedy story about two old men, brothers.
Summary: 5 Stars
Refreshing blend of comedy in a story of two elderly brothers who live in rural West Texas and don't care to be bothered by anyone. Takes place in the 1950's with several nice automobiles in the movie. Two rich old men who wish to live out what life they have left, the way they want.

Description of Secondhand Lions (New Line Platinum Series)
This comedic and touching family film follows the adventures of a shy young boy (Haley Joel Osment) who is sent to spend the summer with his eccentric uncles (Michael Caine, Robert Duvall). At first shocked by his uncles' unconventional behavior that includes ordering African lions through the mail, the boy soon becomes enthralled with unraveling the mystery that has followed the uncles for years. Hearing tales of their exotic adventures involving kidnapped princesses, Arabian sheiks and lost treasure, not only brings him closer to his uncles but also teaches him what it means to believe in something... whether it's true or not.DVD Features:

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
