Miike J @Miike100 3d I’ve known about this movie since it first hit theaters and avoided because I thought it would be boring. The marketing then didn’t do it justice. Just saw it recently and I loved it. All the performances are great and the story is entertaining. Much more than a summer on the farm with two cantankerous old men. See more Ron O @StLRon 4d A bit schmaltzy, but an interesting story about the relationship between the old guys and the young boy. Kept my interest, especially with the outstanding acting by all involved, especially Robert Duvall. The movie had this 74-year-old guy tearing up at times, while listening to the stories Michael Caine told and the scenes featuring Duvall. They were heartwarming and touching and often fun and funny. The movie also provided a poignant reminder to live and love as well as possible while we're here on this earth. Loved it way more than expected!

As a result he spends some time with a couple of eccentric , fun loving, great uncles. In the process he hears some great adventures recanted by the uncles and learns invaluable life lessons. Robert Duvall and Michael Caine are fantastic as the old uncles Huk and Garth. A very worthwhile movie to enjoy.

Rumor has it the uncles have hidden a fortune somewhere on their farm, and the boy’s mother is determined that he uncover its location. The film is gentle and sentimental, anchored by a beautifully understated performance from Michael Caine as one uncle, with Robert Duvall offering his characteristically solid work as the other. Haley Joel Osment is endearing as the boy on the edge of adulthood, trying to figure out where he belongs and how to find the love he needs. Kyra Sedgwick appears briefly but effectively, bringing dimension to the role of his self-involved mother. The story is sprinkled with a whole passel of dogs, an actual lion, a fleeting appearance by a giraffe, and a parade of traveling salesmen—all of which add to the film’s warmth and charm.
