Of little interest to anyone except those who thought Air Bud was too smutty.

Rotten
It's pretty appalling, and it's boring.
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post

Secondhand Lions manages to squander the services of seasoned vets Michael Caine and Robert Duvall, and promising newcomer Haley Joel Osment, with a tale that is dramatically false and disturbingly vicious.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star

Secondhand Lions is a movie you want to believe in -- original ideas, acclaimed actors -- but McCanlies uses too many broad strokes when subtlety and finesse would have had greater impact.
