Who could ever find the thought of buying an old secondhand Lion funny? Or two grumpy old men with guns? If you have a good story, then you can usually make a good movie. This movie can make you cry.It will make you laugh. It will touch your heart. It will fill you with rage towards the villains. It will also fill you with joy. I have watched this film with kids, and grown ups. We all, without exception have enjoyed this movie. No one has been bored, everyone has had a comment to make afterwards. A few have shed tears. The story is a feel good tale with delightful twists and turns and some wonderful characters. Duvall and Caine are really very good and exceptionally well cast. My world would be a sadder place without this movie.It is a delight and a favourite.

Walter (Haley Joe Osment) an introverted kid gets to stay with his two eccentric great-uncles, Garth (Michael Caine) and Hub (Robert Duvall.) While there He is told of their robust adventures and how they came to be there and rich. However everyone else tells a different story. He comes to understand them and some of life through several events. One of those events is befriending an over the hill lion which just may represent a couple of uncles.
It is not so much the bonding formula of the story as the way the tail of exotic places and heroic acts is intertwined with everyday life. I think of stories my own parents and grand parent told of such things as encounters with Poncho Via in Mexico where they sold him horses and were invited to leave.
It is not so much the stories as the goodness of man that was being portrayed, moving back and forth in time, with a few adjustments to history, made you feel that they were your great-uncles who could believe such tales. And yet...
If you find that this movie moved you then it is time to try two others that are similar. "Dust" (2001) with Joseph Fiennes and David Wenham. "Little Buddha" (1993) with Keanu Reeves.

This has everything you could possibly look for in a film. It's hillarious, it has great action, great story and brilliant acting, and without the explicit stuff that can occasionally creep in with those.
I saw the trailer for this and I must say I wasn't too excited, because from the trailer the film seems to just be about a boy who goes to stay with a couple of old men on a farm, then the boy (Walter) starts liking them. And this is fine for people who like that sort of thing but this film, but for those who want more, it's there and most trailers don't do it justice.
They say old people still have their memories, and this film certainly shows that using brilliant Indiana Jones-like action/comedy flashbacks.
But it still has the charm that a film set on a farm should have because the story is brilliant.
It is set primarily on a farm in Texas where two old men live. Apparently they have loads of money and Walter's mother wants him to try and find it. From the start you can tell she is quite selfish. Walter pretty much has to fend for himself and the curious, adventurous yet timid boy is excellently pulled off by Haley Joel Osment. Quite a few people go to the house but the two old men are simply no to be hassled, shooting most people who try to enter, and Michael Caine and Robert Duvall work extremely well together.
All three main characters change a lot during the film, either becoming more open, braver, or more caring.
The music and camera work was also very good, using many different styles of camera for different moods, and quick bursts of action music when needed. Also, none of the cheesy comedy music that sometimes spoils a joke and stops you from laughing.
One of the best films I have seen. 100%

A very charming film: Young Walter (Haley Joel Osment) is sent to live with two elderly, eccentric uncles, Garth (Michael Caine - not my favourite actor but good in this) and Hub (Robert Duval - very good) by his trailer-trash mother, Mae (really excellently portrayed by Kyra Sedgwick) so that she can go and enjoy herself. She has a hidden agenda; the two uncles are allegedly millionaires and sleazy Mae (and her equally appalling boyfriend) want to get their hands on some of the loot and she wants Walter to find out where it's stashed.

But that's the framework of the plot; in-between times, the uncles have their own dynamic way of dealing with annoying travelling salesmen, seedy relatives and obstreperous young tearaways. And then there's very clever flashbacks of their exciting lives during and after the First World War in the Middle East which involves the sinister Sheikh (a suitably sneering Adam Ozturk) plus Princess Jasmine (glamorous Emmanuelle Vaugier) - and Jasmine just happens to be the name bestowed on the secondhand lion.

And there's lots of dogs, lots of laughs and lots of homespun philosophy - a well-acted, thoroughly enjoyable film for just about everybody.

By his own admission, Michael Caine has made many bad films, although none, he says, that didn't pay well.

Rest assured, however, that "Secondhand Lions" does NOT fall into that category - it is a hidden gem, with both Caine and Robert Duval in top form as two crazy great uncles, ably supported by Haley Joel Osment as their great nephew who is abandoned into their care one summer and slowly learns the truth about the two grumpy old men's adventures in their younger days.

Not to be missed by any Michael Caine or Bob Duval fans !
