Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/5 --
Secondhand Lions manages to squander the services of seasoned vets Michael Caine and Robert Duvall, and promising newcomer Haley Joel Osment, with a tale that is dramatically false and disturbingly vicious.

Rating: 6/10 --
...may wander near and far, mixing down-home hokum with gushy sentiment, yet it generally succeeds in winning us over.

Movie Metropolis
...Writer-director Tim McCanlies' feel-good celebration of youth and old age enriching each other is carefully leavened with humor...
Variety
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Secondhand Lions is a movie you want to believe in -- original ideas, acclaimed actors -- but McCanlies uses too many broad strokes when subtlety and finesse would have had greater impact.
Seattle Times
... Michael Caine is badly miscast in this movie. I didn't believe him for one second in that role.
Ebert & Roeper
It's pretty appalling, and it's boring.
Washington Post
Michael Caine and Robert Duvall play well off each other...

Product Description:
Set in Texas in the 1950s, SECONDHAND LIONS tells the touching story of Walter (Haley Joel Osment), a shy teenager sent to stay with two estranged uncles for the summer. Various rumors surround the two uncles (played by Robert Duvall and Michael Caine), mostly because the duo have only recently resurfaced into family life after 40 years spent carrying out misdeeds and illicit activities. The one fact about the men, of which Walter's mom is only too aware, is that they appear to be extremely wealthy, having stashed over one million dollars in cash at an undisclosed location. After initially balking at Walter's inherent shyness and nervous disposition, the two men soon warm to the child, and proceed to tell him some incredible tales of their adventures.
Director Tim McCanlies lets SECONDHAND LIONS unfold at a leisurely pace, allowing Caine and Duvall to play off each other and slowly bring Osment's character out of his shell. As all the characters become invigorated by the stories and tall tales, a neat bond is formed between them, with some touching interplay and valuable lessons in life for Osment. This is a moving coming-of-age film that the whole family can enjoy.
