Secondhand Lions (2003)

A boy is left by his widowed mother in the care of his two anti-social uncles who live in a farm. She tells him they have a fortune stashed.

The plot has a few elements which could lead to an interesting investigation of matters such as the dichotomy between what people are and what they appear to be. The film cops out of that, settling instead for being just a tame, weakly entertaining drama/adventure with some lame "life lessons" which make no sense and an ultimately misogynistic worldview.

Rating: 30
