Sobre aquesta pel·lícula

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.

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.

Great Movie! A look into two mens adventures. It trys to explain that you need to visit, listen, and take in all that people are willing to tell you; otherwise, you will miss the opportunities, and possibilities afforded you. If you don't listen with an open and accepting heart, you will have to read it in a book, after they are dead. That's no fun! Listen twice as much as you speak, you will learn a lot. Be open to hear the adventures.

Love this movie!! Would give it 10 stars if I could! Robert Duvall, Michael caan. Great actors. Brings each part of the story more life and depth. Halie Joe Osmond did a great confused kid learning life thru experience of his uncles...
