Why couldn't Uncle Garth and Uncle Hub have been my Uncles? Michael Caine and Robert Duvall play the greatest cranky old guys with soft hearts.
The tales of Hub and Garth are fantastic.
I'm sorry to say but I think this was the last of the cuteness of Haley Joel Osment. He was very cute in this movie but definitely has come of age.
Also starring are Kyra Sedgwick, Josh Lucas and Eric Balfour.

This is a great family movie. As a mother of 5 I highly recommend it for your children.

  Putting the FUN in Dysfunctional
Review created: 10/12/06
7 of 10 people found this review helpful.

How can you miss with this cast: Robert Duvall, Michael Caine and Haley Joel Osment(I see dead people)?

Walter (played by Haley) is sent by his mother to live with his uncles (Robert Duvall and Michael Caine) to find the family treasure. Mom is not going to win any "Mother of the Year" contest.

You feel like you are living out young Walter's adventures as he finds out about life, love and family. It is told from the perspective of an older Walter telling his story.

Duvall and Caine are charming and hilarious as the eccentric old coots.

If you want a heartwarming uplifting movie, this is it! You won't be sorry!

  Great Family Movie
Review created: 07/24/08(updated 07/24/08)

This is a wonderful movie! It shows how functional dysfunctional families can be. Two "crazy" uncles turn out to be the most stable people in Walter's (the main character) life. There is plenty of humor throughout the movie to keep you watching until the end.

  Outstanding Movie!

My husband and I saw this movie for the first time, only about 6 months ago. Wow... I couldn't believe what we had missed. Then it was on TV again more recently, and naturally, we viewed it; only this time with our grandson. What a truly wholesome family movie. It was not anything that we thought would be out of line or off-base for our 10 yr old grandson. There was enough comedy to really keep everyone interested and laughing, but there was also enough seriousness to form a very good moral plot; not to mention that it included some of the best actors of all time! It was then that I started the hunt to purchase the movie. I had no luck at local retail stores, so I immediately thought...EBAY! Of course, 'isn't that where you have always gone to find what you are looking for and are unable to find anywhere else?' Now we own it, and I could watch it every week, if not every day. I am so glad that there is an Ebay, where you can find quality and bargains in an instant.

A Family movie, we viewed it on TV and just had to buy a copy of it.
A warm hearted movie about a boy being raised by his 2 eccentric uncles, after his Mother more or less abandoned him.
We would watch this one again.

Delightful film, seasoned actors, great characters. A real feel good flick!! Unique blend of fantasy and reality. Michael Caine, Robert Duvall, Haley James Osment are well-cast. It was several minutes into the movie before I knew which one was Michael Caine. A+++

If you avoid taking this movie too seriously, it is wildly entertaining for the whole family. My kids love this movie. While the professional reveiwers may not like the roles played by these traditional stars, this is really what "acting" should be all about. Not an Academy Award nominee, but sometimes that's exactly what you need to be entertained.

  A Movie that should be in your Movie Library
Review created: 06/16/08

THis movie is about character, integrity, and "heart" things. We so often miss these things in our busy lives, and we forget what really counts.

The characters in this book have found true happiness, and understand like George Harris says "Live Life for the Moment".

  Michael Caine and Robert Duvall
Review created: 06/14/08

As a fan of both Michael Caine and Robert Duvall I had to view this movie. Each time it appears on AMC to TBS I am compelled to view it once more.
Anyone that may have grown up with elderly uncles can relate. The staories may have been different, but just as compelling.
i am sur ethat this is one DVD that I will totally wear out.

  What's important in life
Review created: 06/04/08
by:

Good movie which really teaches you the true value of life and experiences over living for money. This is the way I saw it anyway. On top of that, class act cast and wonderfully funny moments throughout the movie, a great film that is over 10 years old now and I just saw it for the first time.

This is a great film. I love the doubt and faith inspired by the uncles. And the conclusion . . .! I won't spoil the ending however I will say that it was perfect. This is a movie for the family archives to be watched over and over again.

80 days later I never received this video. The video is good, however, or I would never have ordered it. It is just too bad that this company never sent it to me.

This movie is a blast for the young and old alike. Duval and Cain steal the show! Once the storytelling by the uncles takes off, the movie gets really good!

We loved the story and the main characters. My only dislike was the occasional colorful "metaphor"...to me it detracted from an otherwise great story...it wasn't needed at all.

This is one of our favorite Robert Duvall movies. Great family flick. The DVD has lots of extras that everyone will love. Wish they could have been added the original movie.
