Sincerity Shows

A fantastic coming-of-age movie. Truly a family film: there's no foul language, no gore, and no sex. Just action, adventure, comedy, and emotion. Walter, played by Osment, finds out what a family really is. The great uncles, Hub and Garth ( Robert Duvall, Sir Michael Caine ), are two older men who feel they've passed their prime. This changes a bit when Walter comes in the picture as Hub and Garth have heart- teach this boy what he needs to know about love, honor, courage and respect. The courage symbolism can be seen when they get a "used " lion and also when Walter jumps out of the car towards the end to go back. ( I won't say anymore-No spoiler.) All the actors were fantastic. In their prime, Caine, Osment and Duvall show us something that needs to be appreciated more often-sensitivity...

unexpected great movie

One summer on a whim we rented this movie not really knowing what it was about. It was wounderful! I really recomend this heartwarming movie about a young boy who is dropped off by his mother to stay with his two great uncles. Micheal Caine and Robert Duvall have great chemistry as two bickering old men. This movie is funny and touching.
