Kong went into Second Hand Lions expecting it to be a fairly decent film, but it ended up being little more than annoying. Robert Duvall is the only good thing in the movie! One would expect Michael Caine to have been good, but it never looks like he's not having much fun, and he's not convincing as a gruff, eccentric old man. Haley Joel Osmet is easily the worst actor in the movie; he's got the facial expressiveness of a porcelain doll, and delivers his lines in a completely unconvincing manner.
Plotwise the film is nothing special, and it never tries to be. The only problem with that is that it also tries to be kooky and offbeat, but you can't be kooky and offbeat with nothing but the most conventional material to back you up.
The film is too obvious to be moving; and, with the exception of some of Duvall's lines, it's jokes are too old to be funny. The movie is an entertainment void.
