major_kerinaGreat film. ^^ Thanks to Nina for recommending it to me. I really enjoyed it.
A young boy with a gold-digger of a mother is taken to live with his eccentric uncles. At first, the pairing doesn't seem to work...but the boy and his uncles each discover there is more to the other than they first figured. I love the little story interludes. There are points that kinda remind me of Big Fish...but this tale is more about truth than fairy tale. And there's an actual (used) lion...which is about my most gleeful moment. I really loved this movie a lot and I especially enjoyed how it ended to the last line. Perfecto. Highly recommended ^^V.
