SECOND HAND LIONS (2003)
Duvall, Michael Caine, Kyra Sedgwick, Josh Lucas, Michael
O'Neill, Deirdre O' Connell, Eric Balfour, Christian Kane, Kevin
Haberer, Emmanuelle Vaugier, Adam Ozturk. Corny yet well-acted
story about a young boy (Osment) forced to stay with two long-lost
and eccentric uncles (Duvall and Caine) for a summer by his ne'er
do well mother (Sedgwick) to root out their supposed hidings of
millions in their ramshackle farmhouse. Funny and a bit too
sugary yet recalls the old qualities of yarn-spinning thanks to the
over-the-top B-movie inspired recollections by Caine that infuses
the family fare at hand. (Dir: Tim McCanlies |
