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.

Customer Reviews
This was one of the best movies I have ever seen. They could not have had 2 better actors to play the crazy, redneck uncles of this young man. I would highly recommend this to people of all age. Terrific!!!

i was so pleased to find second hand lions at overstock. I had seen the movie and could not find my original copy . I could not find any copies in the stores so i checked overstock and found it. I think this is the most entertaining movie Michael CAne and Robert Duvall play the perfect uncles. This movie is funny and sad and there is even a life lesson if you pay attention, I would and often do recommend this movie to everyone I think this should be a classic.

This movie is for slightly more mature audiences as the mother is a bit of a man-chaser. However, it is extremely funny. Not much foul language, if any. It's a great movie for a family without small children. I'd say age 10 and over.

This is a great film filled with a great plot, well-developed characters and best of all, great values. An excellent choice to watch with your sons. This will continue to be a classic for years to come. Finally a movie that I am not embarrassed to give as a gift as well. I bought this copy for my in-laws who are sick of movies filled with vulgarity, inuendo and characters with no integrity.

This is a Great Movie! I had watched the movie prior to purchase. (several time!) Thought the movie would be a good one for the video library, something for the family to watch on a cold stormy day...
