This comedic and touching family film follows the adventures of a shy young boy (Haley Joel Osment) who is sent to spend the summer with his eccentric uncles (Michael Caine, Robert Duvall). At first shocked by his uncles' unconventional behavior that includes ordering African lions through the mail, the boy soon becomes enthralled with unraveling the mystery that has followed the uncles for years. Hearing tales of their exotic adventures involving kidnapped princesses, Arabian sheiks and lost treasure, not only brings him closer to his uncles but also teaches him what it means to believe in something... whether it's true or not.

Hidden Gem
Secondhand Lions has never been given the publicity that I think it deserves. It is a classic, a feel good movie, perfect for all ages and great for a night when one is tired or a little blue.

WATCH THIS MOVIE!!
SECONDHAND LIONS is without a doubt a moving and thought provoking movie. In a day where movies mostly bore me or depress me, this movie needs to be seen by everyone. I admit I am in my early 50's and have always been an old soul, but you really should see this movie! HATS OFF tot he director, cast and writers, great job!

Hilarious movie
This was a great movie start to finish. I am so glad i bought it. Michael Caine with a Texas accent is enough all by itself but then you have Robert Duvall as well and a wonderful story. Great directing in this one too. A must see.

Wonderful film, if a bit dubious
This film made me laugh from the inside and left me happy. This is what a movie experience is meant to be. The humor is not crass, the characters quirky, and the main character holds the plot together nicely.
Parts of the film seem a little far-fetched, but that only contributes to its likeability in my eyes. It's clearly the product of someone's imagination, uncluttered by mainstream garbage.
An enjoyable family movie, just don't expect it to hold any lessons on honesty :-)

Thank you!
Not only was this movie entertaining but educational. Somewhere along the way, it seems people have forgotten the most important values in life. To the producers of the movie.....thank you for that reminder.
