all pictures (c) New Line Cinema Walter (Haley Joel Osment) , a young introvert teenager suddenly finds himself having to spend the summer with his rather eccentric great-uncles Hub and Garth (Robert Duvall and Michael Caine). Though they are his great-uncles, for Walter these two are total strangers living in some Texas farm. And what more, the uncles are also hardly expecting this kid to show up. So when the kid does show up, these two grumpy old men hardly holds any interest in taking care of the boy. But soon the summer does get very interesting for the three of them, as Walter gets to learn more about these old folks and discovers a lot about their great pasts. As the stories unfold, even one about hidden treasures, we find a heart-warming bonding between the three that makes the summer quite unforgettable. Another spotlight role for the young talent of Haley Joel Osment comes in the form of Secondhand Lions. And this is the transformation of Osment from the little boy from 'Sixth Sense' into the teenager mould of things.
But Osment is certainly not going to steal the show from the likes of two great actors like Michael Caine and Robert Duvall. Afterall these two are undoubtedly the pillars as far as the movie is concerned. A tale about beliefs and adventures, of exotic tales where even fantasies become realities that boasts of some big time special effects in order to bring things alive on screen.
PS: This movie seems to have a similar theme like that of Tim Burton's upcoming flick Big Fish. But I am sure that Burton's visionary images can never be matched by these makers. But definitely being released way ahead of the Burton movie, they definitely have an advantage here.
