This comedic and touching family film follows the adventures of a shy young boy who is sent to spend the summer with his eccentric uncles. At first shocked by his uncles' unconventional behavior that includes ordering African lions through the mail, the boy soon becomes enthralled with unraveling the mystery that has followed the uncles for years. Hearing tales of their exotic adventures involving kidnapped princesses, Arabian sheiks and lost treasure, not only brings him closer to his uncles but also teaches him what it means to believe in something... whether it's true or not.

kinda of a bummer, that they had a different ending than what i saw on utube...that the sheik showed up at the end. Far better than the son showing with his kid

Comedy, action, turmoil and a great story make this definitely worth watching. I'm not a fan of Haley Joe Osment, but he does well, and Cain & Duvall make a great team.

Not only is it a heart warming story about a lost kid growing up, but a humorous story about 2 older men retelling their tales as younger men and teaching younger kids valuable life lessons. All while keeping the money hungry relatives away from their money. The cartoons used in the movie were drawn by Berkeley Breathed of Bloom County & Opus fame.
