defective DVD
The DVDs were delivered in a timely manner, however one of the DVDs was so scratched that we were unable to view it. We ordered 2 copies; one for us and one as a gift. Luckily we opened the defective one.

Secondhand Lions
This is the third or fourth dvd that I have obtained through amazon, and the first one with quality problems. There are a couple of areas in the dvd where skips appear. If I had bought this dvd at a local store I would have returned it for replacement.

As to delivery, no problem.

"Take it from me JUST WATCH!"
This is a great movie about a kid with an imagination, a mother whose not so bright, and two amazing old men [with attitude!].

It's adventure, its comedy, and its a must watch if you like either. Take it from me JUST WATCH! You won't be disappointed.

A simple plot, a simple story, a great movie.
This is one of the best movies to come out of Hollywood in recent years. No mindless violence, no F word every 5 seconds, no sex, no drugs. Just the story of two old men who are brothers and lived life on their terms. They lived like MEN not sheeple and never apologized for it. Two men who experienced the wold before the adventure was gone from it. They led armies into battle, lived by a code of honor, fought for justice in a lawless land, and never gave up on each other. At the end of their days and ready to die they are forced to foster their Great Nephew. What happen next is proof that you are never too old to live and it's never too late to try. The strength of character displayed in this movie should be an inspiration for all people. Watch it and learn a lesson about life and the human spirit.

Good, Fun, Feel-Good and Surprisingly Good Film
I ran into this film by accident on HBO and was instantly hooked. It turned out to be a surprisingly good film. It is a good family film, light, a little corny, but a feel-good film. You leave the film just feeling good. So rare these days for family films. In fact, some "family" films really push the envelope of decency and appropriateness for the sake of "appealing" to the audience, instead of telling a darn good story. Even animated family films these days push it.

The story is a little fantastical - similar to "Big Fish" (2004) - and at times corny. But the corniness and the silliness makes the story light, enjoyable, and funny.

This is a movie that is fun and worth watching.

Great story
This story about a kid growing-up with his old bachalor uncle's is very well done. Also, the acting is quite good.
