This film is about a young boy who goes to live with his wildly adventurous uncles. This movie is amazing! It funny, entertaining and touching. The cinematography is awesome. This film is a bit older, but has excellent new-film quality. I love the soundtrack. It's light and funny. It gives the entire film a comical push. My favorite scene is when Walter first goes to his uncle's house and gets a taste of what they do to the sales men that come by. This scene is funny and shows off the men's true characteristics. I honestly can't pick one character who I like most because all of the actors do an excellent job, especial Hailey Joel Osment. Each individual character adds a unique flavor to the film that works quite nicely. The only thing I dislike about this movie is that I feel as if the lion, Jasmine, isn't in the film enough. I also think the last scene when Walter is an adult could have been left out. Overall, I give Second Hand Lions 5 out of 5 stars. This film should be viewed by ages 6 and up. Second Hand Lions is brought to you by HDNet movies and Kidscene. Raven Devanney, age 14, KIDS FIRST! Film Critic
