Stands out as excellent
17 August 2007
Every decade or so, a really special movie comes out, that touches and entertains like few others do. Robert Duvall and Michael Caine are terrific, the story is very good, the flashbacks are also very good. I saw this movie several years after it had come out on a recommendation, and now I recommend it to everyone. It has a special magic. Animal actors are present throughout, and some are important parts of the plot. The animals perform well, and are a delight to see. The movie is funny and poignant. The coming of the boy into the lives of the old curmudgons changes their lives and the boy's, but it's told in a subtle manner. I like the movie, and recommend it to everybody.
