I love having my own copy of one of my favorite movies. After all these years, I didn't realize there might still be a perfect copy available. All the characters were so well done, and Robert Duval's character has always been unforgettable for his tough shell but soft interior. And the Foreign Legion flashbacks were so exciting. Just a good movie from start to finish, and totally believable.

This is a great movie, set in the early sixties, that explores childhood neglect, trauma, healing and love in ways most never could imagine. It is funny, engaging, full of suspense, and provides closure at the end. The language is very clean for our times and I buy copies routinely to give as gifts to friends, family, and anybody who is in need of a laugh, a cry, and a smile looking for a clean, wholesome movie.

I love this movie. Kids or grownups can watch it and laugh and have fun. It sets up an incredible story which then .... It supports values like loyalty and love of family, without fear of adventure.

This was one of those surprise movies that just come along out of nowhere and thoroughly entertain you. It is about 1962, and Walter and his mom are heading to Texas so that she can ditch Walter with his two old "Kooky" uncles. Walter is a nice but very shy kid about 12-13 years old. He has never met these old uncles, but according to his mom, they are extremely rich! Just how they got their money or where they keep it, is a mystery, but all kinds of stories are told; they were bank robbers; or gangsters; or whatever? These two old uncles are real characters, having only recently returned to Texas, after a lifetime of gallivanting all over the world doing all kinds of unspeakable acts. Of course, most of this is all lies. They are set in their ways, and don't want any visitors. The only reason anybody comes around is to try to find their money or butter them up to be left in their will. Now, here's Walter with a suitcase. Mom, is off to meet some guy. She is a real trailer-trash, showgirl type, who falls in love every month, and goes to bed every night. Poor Walter is caught in the middle. The two uncles played by Michael Caine, and Robert Duvall try to make Walter as un welcome as they can, but can see that he is a good kid, with a lousy mom, and that isn't his fault. They all gradually warm to eachother, in a warm "coming of age" sort of way. As it turns out, these two old codgers are the "real deal" and actually lived the swashbuckling life of soldiers in the French Foreign Legion, and fought the fights of history. Robert Duvall had been the uncle who married the woman promised to the Shiek, Jasmine, and loved her dearly. He had fought the Shiek as a mortal enemy and had overcome him. This was where the money came from. At one point, they buy a mail order lion. They want to shoot it and stuff it, but when it arrives, it is old and Walter gets attached to it, and names it Jasmine. Uncle Hub (Duvall) tells Walter the story of Jasmine, who had died in childbirth only two years after he married her. He had been alone ever since, and now had found the love of a son in Walter. When mom comes back to get Walter (really to see if Walter found the money) her new boyfriend is more trash, just like her. She wants to take him away with her, but he winds up staying with the old uncles. This was a good movie and very enjoyable.Vollständige Rezension lesen
The acting is superb. I loved this movie when it was first released years ago. I purchased this DVD for a friend who had never seen it. She loved it too. Disc arrived quickly in excellent condition.

LOVE this movie. The chemistry between Robert Duvall, Michael Cain and Haley Joel Osment is FANTASTIC. This is what I would call a “feel good movie” that also has a lot of comedy mixed with a meaningful storyline. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone

Great fun. Except for a few references it is the perfect family film. My 11 year old grandson loves it. Actually this will be one of his Christmas gifts.

Both actors did an awsom job of keeping you entertained along with them at first not wanting to take care of the nephew but after he was there an they taught him much about hard work and life values he was accepted. The one brother had a hard to believe but true adventure full life along with they were accused of stealing money but in the end it was proven not true. Glad we bought the movie and will I am sure watch many times. Would recommend to any one that like true to life down to earth movies.
