Secondhand Lions Reviews

Old age can't tame Michael Caine and Robert Duvall, as this predictable but endearing tale of renewed hopes and youthful aspirations fittingly proves. And young cub Haley Joel Osment takes these legendary lions of the cinema by the mane to confirm he's one of the most intrepid actors of his youthful generation. [read review]  --Robert Sims (Hollywood.com) I liked the film a lot. Is it my fault that when I went home, I popped in Godzilla's Revenge for the first time, and the two time-killers swirled around inside my brain like chocolate and vanilla, getting all mixed together like Lionel Ritchie's daughter? Is it so wrong to compare them as viable products? [read review]  --B. Alan Orange (MovieWeb) The film makes a rather amateur mistake in telling most of its story as a flashback… within a flashback. The bookends do little to give the story depth, except to justify a few plot points at the film’s closing. [read review] 5/10 --David Trier (Movie-Vault.com) Mild, easy-going and comfortably-directed family stuff that's just fun enough to hold the attention - but it's also lacking a little in spark and originality. [read review] 6/10 --Gary Panton (Movie Gazette) Enjoyable drama with good performances by its three leads but slightly let down by its irritating ending. [read review]  --Matthew Turner (ViewLondon) Tries so hard to be quirky and loveable that it hurts to watch. [read review] 63/100 --Brian Webster (Apollo Guide)
