Great Friggin' Movie!
3 February 2008
This is one of the best movies hands down I've ever seen. Since I got my copy of it I've watched it at least once a week and NEVER get tired of it. It seems that like Haley Joel Osmont's character I myself love his Uncle Garth's stories so much I have to hear them again...and again...and again! The movie focuses on Walter, the son of an irresponsible mother who in a sordid lie leaves him with his two aging bachelor uncles (Caine and Duvall in exceptional performances) for the summer while she leaves for Court Reporting School. Discovering this to be just another of her lies Walter find himself at first not liking his situation, that is until he sees the charm and wonder of his uncles and their magical lives in a secluded Texas farm house.

Listening to his Uncle Garth (Caine) Walter realizes there's so much more to them than he once believed, especially his Uncle Hub (Duvall) and discovers that sometimes to be a man you just have to believe in something, whether it could be true or not.

Full of laughs, great moments and more this movie honestly kept me smiling through the WHOLE thing. I loved every minute of it and yes, it will one day be a classic. The acting is good, the story is great and the movie overall is one of the best ever made in recent years. Give it a shot if you haven't already, its definitely worth a look!
