Haley Joel Osment is left in the care of Michael Caine & Robert Duvall. Caine & Duvall are Osments uncles. They don't have a tv or telephone but that doesn't stop the fun. A very enjoyable film. Fun for everyone I don't want to give away anything major

Do you two think a 6 year old boy would like it?

No, I think the story a bit intricate for a child that young. Lots of subtleties.

Be that as it may, Ketchuplover, this is a PG rated movie, and in my opinion not for nothing. I would not let a small child of 6 see any movie but a G rated one.

KL, do the dogs play a big part in the movie?

If you want to know the breakdown of the situations and language in a movie, go to www.screenit.com. It lists every single thing that anyone could possibly find even mildly offensive. I always check there for movies my kids watch, don't like nasty surprises. There are a lot of pop-ups on the site, but it's incredibly thorough.

Thanks Not. I'll have to do that. I wasn't worried so much that it had bad content,but more would he understand it. That,and no animal death,and such. Thanks ya'll.

There is an animal death which is vividly portrayed and extremely touching.

ScreenIt does list a category of "situations to talk about" or something like that. Examples might be death, divorce, betrayals, bad attitudes, etc. Haven't seen the movie, so I hope none of it is spoilerish. Here's a sample I pasted from the site on SecondHand Lions- FRIGHTENING SCENES It's possible that some scenes listed under "Violence" might be unsettling or suspenseful to some viewers (particularly younger ones) but most are played for action-adventure rather than realism. For those scared of dogs, various breeds jump at Walter as he sits in a car and looks nervous. <Several major spoilers removed.> <Mod DH>

I saw this today and must say it is the best movie I've seen in a long, long, long, time.

It's just old-fashioned entertainment, isn't it?

Enjoyed this movie last evening. Will be buying it for my nephews along with Hidalgo and Miracle! I love Michael Caine. The "storytelling" was told in such a manner as if a kid was hearing it. Well done. Loved the lion and the pig!!The dogs were fun characters too. Unfortunately, the mom reminded me of someone I know.

Wow! I'm surprised this movie didn't do better at the box office -- It was really good!! Enjoyed the relationship between the old guys and the kid. (Had trouble with Michael Caine trying a texas accent though....) Really loved it! On the other hand we then watched Robert Duvall in another movie -- Open Range -- that one was boring.... I wonder how many movies he has been in??
