Hey, this is a very special movie! I have watched it over and over again, it's just so original and it makes you feel good. There's something satisfying about it in a quirky sort of way. It makes me laugh.... Full review

I saw that the critics gave this review a C+. In my mind it deserves a much better grade than that. Robert Duvuall, Michael Caine and Haley joe Osmet do a fantastic job in this film. I know the story line... Full review

For eccentric relatives - these two take the cake. Michael Caine & Robert Duvall are perfect. These two fish with a shotgun. An absolutely WONDERFUL story - with a story within a story - one of unbelieveable - with emphasis on... Full review

I am a fan of Halle Joel Osment. He was a great child actor. I didn't understand the whole lion part, but anyway, all and all this film was good/ok. It wasn't outstanding and clear, but I understood most of it.... Full review

it's a good movie. there's a little bit of randomness in it. hayley joel osment does a good job in it. so does robert duvall. though, i do not like michael caine's accent in the movie. it sounds fake. it's also... Full review

Its not the tall tales of Hub and Garths amazing alleged adventures that are the problem its the endless procession of heart-warming scenes and cracker-barrel philosophy in the present that induces the cringing. Desperate to be loved, this sentimental tale gives nostalgia a bad name as shy young Walter (Haley Joel Osment) has to put up with Michael Caines poor approximation of a Southern accent and Robert Duvalls ham fisted attempt to slip on the overalls and play an older ...

"Secondhand Lions" doesn't have to do much to win us over. The same goes for Haley Joel Osment, who, despite now being saddled with an adolescent voice full of cracks and squeaks, is still one of the better young actors working in movies today. ... Full Review

The film does have other charms, however. Osment is maturing intelligently and without affectation. And if it didn't star Michael Caine, Robert Duvall and Haley Joel Osment, it would probably be insufferable. ... Full Review

His performance is a tad too intense for a film that is light, tongue-in-cheek, even cartoonish.....These days, any family movie with a little beauty, some poetry and the guts to assert....The opening moments of Secondhand Lions might be a whimsical tribute to its biggest star.....An amusing supporting cast of animals-dogs, a pig, a giraffe, and a lion-gets some laughs..... ... Full Review

Duvall also has a great speech when he takes on a gang of 'punk' teenagers in a bar (the whole sequence is a definite highlight) and there are several similar moments that make the film very enjoyable. That said, it's a sweet, enjoyable movie, that's worth seeing for Caine and Duvall and better than a lot of other movies aimed at children. ... Full Review
