Title: Great actors make this movie a good one
Product review: OK, OK...the story is not told as well as it could be, either because of editing or because, as another reviewer suggested, the filmmakers were making it up as they went along. The ending was also a bit heavy-handed. We didn't need to be clouted over the head like that to see that Hub and Garth were just who they claimed to be. But the powerful central theme of the story comes through loud and clear. And it is that way because of the really good acting put in by Osment, Duvall, and Caine. NOBODY plays the old curmudgeon better than Robert Duvall - watch Open Range and you can see him in this role again. Caine counterbalances him very well, and Osment's acting as the bewildered youngster just blew me away. This movie is a really great family movie with action, adventure, eccentric old dudes, and true love that never dies. I have no problem recommending this for anyone and will likely buy this one for my home collection.
