Product Description
A COMEDIC AND TOUCHING FAMILY FILM ABOUT A SHY BOY WHO FINDS SHY BOY WHO FINDS HIMSELF SPENDING THE SUMMER WITH A PAIR OF CRANKY & ECCENTRIC GREAT-UNCLES HAVE A MYSTERIOUS AND SECRET PAST.
Amazon.com
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

Excellent collector's item. Reminds me of my early days of learning to fly and the people who had a hand in making me a pilot (private pilot licensed 1963).
The movie itself has a great story and character rewarding results.

Second Hand Lions, platinum series is an excellent film.
It would be an outstanding and enjoyable film for families with children/teens if it
did not contain some profanity, which we object to.
The seller was prompt; dvd arrived in excellent condition, and my husband and I have watched it 3 times already. We ordered extra copies for grandchildren, but had second thoughts due to the profanity.
However, that is not the fault of the seller, and we will certainly order from seller again.
One of the best all time family movies ever February 22, 2010
