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

 One of the best "Heartfelt" movies of all time. July 4, 2009
Garry L. Freemyer (California)
A young boy who plays second fiddle to a line of losers his mom shacks up with, is dumped off on a pair of "Crazy" old grand-uncles and finds a place in life, and and love, and what things are truly worth believing in.
A great mix of drama, hilarity and nostalgia.
A must see!
Fantastic June 4, 2009

The movie is spectacular and the people who sent it are the very best. They were very quick. In fact I needed it for a Birthday and it came the day before which was perfect. I would buy from them again.
Freedom To Choose May 26, 2009
Rose Burkhart
Secondhand Lions depicts desire for the freedom to live life to its fullest. But, what if you are told that you are a nothing? That you will never amount to anything? You ignore those voices and look inward to your mind. What do *you* want to do? Invariably your choices require training, study, philosophical values, and firm resolution. This, in essence, is what Second hand Lions is about - i.e. the desire to stand firm and chose your paths in life. Yes, paths choices are myriad and many. Everyone faces path choices. Some folks face and determine path choices while others ignore path choices and allow themselves to drift aimlessly.
Who are the Secondhand Lions? Two men and an aged lion (yes, the lion also chooses and establishes her path) have developed moral values that seem questionable to the modern liberal mentality, but to the creature who values freedom - there can be no other path.
Sure some of the events seem far-fetched to the non-adventurous mentality, yet everything presented in Secondhand Lions is possible, including realization that every human possesses qualities to become a 'doer', or live life as a 'mooch'.
Love the movie May 23, 2009
