Movie reviews often use the term "The feel-good movie of the year" and I`ve never thought much about it, until Secondhand Lions. This was the only movie that I`ve ever watched and felt that the term applied. What a great movie! (and to think I only went to see it because I had a free movie pass for it!)

The movie was beautifully done. The acting was excellent. It`s really nice to go to a movie these days and not having to see violence or discrimination every second. This movie was very relieving. If you walk in there and you`re angry, I can assure you that after the movie you will feel full of contentment. Once it comes out on DvD I am totally going to buy it.

It is not often I see a movie that I am anxious to recommend to my friends. Secondhand Lions is one such movie. It was one of the best couple of hours I`ve enjoyed in a long time.

The movie had promise, but it wasn`t developed in a satisfying way. The story line lurched forward, looking for a premise. I didn`t identify with the characters - the uncles were too cartoonish and Walter was robotic. The lion part of the story was oddly thrown in. The final scene was improbable and unemotional. I am surprised by the glowing reports this movie was given. The best part was the credits at the end. If that aspect - a cartooninst influenced by his years with eccentric uncles - had been developed more fully, the move might have been interesting.

I loved this movie. It`s nice to leave the theatre feeling good about what you`ve just seen. It seems to me that many of the comments that I read are written by folks with some kind of ax to grind, and not at all about the movie. It was a funny, light hearted movie with a happy ending. I`d recommend it.

This wonderful wonderful movie showed real men and good and bad and anybody who did not like it is just plainly brainwashed from the feminization of America. Great acting of all three protagonists and marvelous story, this is what going to the movies is all about, we loved it!
