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.

A feel good coming of age story that is as filled with laughs as it is touching moments, Secondhand Lions is a great family night movie.

This movie is a coming of age story, comedy, drama, love story and adventure. It will make you feel good inside. The perfect remedy to all the cynicism out there in the world and cinema.

I remember first picking this up from Blockbuster with my parents when I was a kid, the name and DVD case intriguing me. Boy was I in for one hell of a surprise as from start to finish I was completely enraptured. To this day, I can watch this film over and over without it getting old.
