Product Description:
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.Running Time: 109 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY UPC: 794043690426

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

Rating:  - Wrong Ending
There are plenty of excellent reviews of this wonderful movie. I just want to add that the ending of the movie is the wrong one. In the special features the original ending is available. The author/director offers reasons why he deleted the original ending and substituted the new ending. Well, he was wrong. As great a job as he did with the rest of the movie He blew it when he chose to change the ending. I have no problem accepting a change in actors because of an age change. It's still Walter!

Rating: - a feel good movie
this was a real cute family movie. One that I think didn't get the publicity to the public that it should have.
Rating: - second hand lions
This is a cute little movie that does a good job of portraying values of honor, commitment, love, courage and honesty. I loved it.
Rating: - 5 star
The movie is a great movie. We decided to wait until our girls were a little older to let them watch it. Robert Duvall curses more frequently than I remembered. But it is a great family movie with a great lesson.
Rating: - Great family movie!
Have bought this one twice and gave it to others who also enjoyed it. So I bought it again. You will love it!
