Secondhand Lions
This has got to be one of the best movies I've ever seen!
It stars Haley Joel Osment as a young boy dumped off at his uncles' (played by Michael Caine and Robert Duvall's) house. They don't know what to do with eachother, but the grow into frienship and tell the boy of their youth and adventures with evil sheiks, germans, and beautiful princesses in Africa. Look up a real review to get the story, but wow, it's amazing! I give it four thumbs up!

We just watched it this past weekend. Really very good. Just enough of everything to keep you entertained throughout. The in-laws, the fight, the flashback bits, etc

This was an awesome movie...I especially liked the part where one of the uncles says something about how its important to believe in things, even if they might not be true.
Many critics say it was overly cheesy, but I loved it. Lots of critics seem so callused sometimes. My hometown newspaper movie critic once said he didn't see the glass as half full or half empty, because he had huge cracks running through them. Definitely worth seeing though. Funny and inspiring.

I saw this recently and thought it was cute. A very good plot except for the very end, which was just a little too cheesy.

that was a great movie, so funny the way the old dudes are always shooting people.
salesman: would you like some life insurance? *BOOM* salesman: *drives away* old guys: a pity he doesn't have more faith in his own product. edit: this wasn't in the movie but it was inspired by the movie.
