  • Starring: Haley Joel Osment, Michael Caine, Robert Duvall
  • Summary: When the introverted young Walter (Osment) finds himself forced to spend the summer with a pair of eccentric great-uncles (Caine, Duvall) on a remote ranch in Texas, he's understandably unnerved. But left to their own devices, this mismatched threesome begins to forge an unlikely bond. A heartwarming comedy about adventures, discoveries, growth and trust. (New Line Cinema)… Expand

    It's a feel-good movie, but not in a bad way. It makes you feel good the way that “Forrest Gump” made you feel good, as if the filmmakers were seriously trying to make a fun, wholesome, entertaining movie without taking on the industry with a moral agenda.

    Caine and Duvall paired on screen would be worth the price of admission even if they were just reading the Yellow Pages.

    With such a bang-up cast, this setup could at least elicit some tears, but in its 107 minutes, nary a one welled up in my eyes.

    This movie makes you feel good all over. If you need to feel like there is still hope for humanity watch this. Good stuff.

    This is indeed a feel good movie. And you feel great after watching it. Is that bad? A brilliant mix of fantasy and reality, this movie will touch your heart, unless your heart is burdened with pessimism and malcontentedness, as some reviewers seem to be afflicted with. One of the best underrated movies of all time. A great sigh of relief in a world of bad movies.… Expand
