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

 Nothing Seccond Hand About It July 5, 2010

Secondhand Lions is a story about living life, about how a male role model or in this case models can affect the life of young men and about learning how to be a "real" lion. Michael Caine is brilliant in his supporting role as one of two 'retired' bachelor great uncles who have a secret past. Robert Duvall is the other. They suddenly find themselves the recipients of Walter, played by Haley Joel Osment, who is dumped on them by his irresponsible, dam. The two provide a touch of the comic and at the same time a strong male role model to the boy.
My boys love the story and it is one of the few we watch together.

This is my 2nd copy of Second Hand Lions. My first was borrowed by a friend and never returned. Amazon's price was cheap enough too buy a replacement copy. What I love about this movie is that it's quirky (2 old guys who want to be left alone and have shotguns next to their rocking chairs to drive home the point) and touching (a long lost pre-adolescent great-nephew is dropped off at the old guys' place by his mother so she can go to Vegas to find a new boyfriend). I love the two old guys played by Robert Duvall and Michael Caine...they play tough old coots but with big hearts. It has a GREAT ending which I won't' spoil.
Wonderful Movie!! June 20, 2010

Second Hand Lions is the Best Family Movie I have Seen June 18, 2010

Second Hand Lions is not only a funny, heart warming movie, it is the best family movie I have ever seen. It Does a great job of showing the importance of family relationships, and growing up with positive influence. I am 53 years old and have seen a lot of movies, when I want to watch something that restores my faith in families and shows truly good people, I watch this movie. Haven't watched more than several dozen times over the last couple years.
I liked it! June 17, 2010
