In this 2003 film set in the 1960s, Walter Caldwell (Haley Joel Osment) is dumped off on his great uncles by his ditzy mom Mae (Kyra Sedgwick), who says she needs some time to herself so she can go to court reporting school. The uncles, Hub (Robert Duvall) and Garth McCann (Michael Caine), don't like having a "kid" around cramping their style, but eventually warm to him, and he to them. The uncles are a little... eccentric (they fish by shooting bass with their shotguns, and spend their days chasing off traveling salesmen... with their shotguns), but time proves them to be surprisingly capable foster dads. Walter is awed by Hub's crazy ways, while Garth spins tales of their adventuring days of yore. Are any of the stories true — including the one about the uncles sitting on a hidden stash of plundered wealth? And how did they afford to buy that lion?Co-produced by New Line Cinema and Digital Domain. | |

| Secondhand Lions / int_10134c97 | comment |
Artistic License – Gun Safety: Played for laughs. When going after Jasmine the Lion because they think she's mauling Walter, the group includes a young girl who clearly won't be able to handle the recoil of the shotgun she's holding and two boys who aren't big enough to handle a shotgun each so the bigger one holds grip while the smaller one supports the barrel. | |

Tempting Fate: In the flashbacks, Hub and Garth arrive in France in 1914, but Hub convinces Garth that they'll tour the country "One step ahead of the Germans." It almost works too, but then they get Press-Ganged. | |

Unreliable Narrator: Just about everything said by Stan and Mae is untrustworthy. And while it's played for laughs the first time, Hub and Garth's stories may not be completely true. Except at the end, Walter finds out that they probably are. | |

Pay Evil unto Evil: After Jasmine dies attacking Stan, Hub and Garth while checking his wounds and waiting for the ambulance, start poking and prodding him with the butt of their shotguns. Judging by his groaning, they were hitting his wounded areas. Even after he's wrapped up, they still threaten him and Hub cracks his nose. | |

Helping Another Save Face | |
| Secondhand Lions / int_1dfbe681 | comment |
Helping Another Save Face: Word of God is that this is done mutually between the Brothers McCann and Walter when they try to get him to return to their farm. They tell him that they have better maps than the one he's using at the farm, and since, as Hub notes, Walter irritates the relatives seeking their money to no end, Walter offers to stay long enough to annoy the hangers-on into leaving. This allows Walter to return without it looking like he was upset about his mother, and without the McCann brothers looking like they missed his company. | |

Take Our Word for It | |
| Secondhand Lions / int_1ec3eb0a | comment |
Take Our Word for It: Hub's "What every boy needs to know about being a man" speech is supposed to be all of the wisdom Hub had acquired over his very full life distilled into one filibuster. It's portrayed as so profound that a bunch of teenage thugs who had just tried to jump Hub turn their lives around on the spot. And it's implied this isn't the first time it has happened. However, we never actually hear the speech itself, aside from a little bit of it he tells Walter. | |

Ironic Echo | |
| Secondhand Lions / int_237404cc | comment |
Ironic Echo: Written, not verbal: When Walter is being driven up to his uncles' house he reads a sign warning "Turn Back Now" which is the uncles' warning to trespassers. When he's being driven away towards the end of the film he looks back and sees the sign again, just before begging Mae to let him stay. Also, when they see Stan all bandaged up from being mauled by Jasmine, the uncles taunt him with the same threat he said to Walter: "We can be friends... or we can be enemies." | |

Hidden Depths | |
| Secondhand Lions / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: The climax heavily implies that Mae shows a small measurement of concern for Walter and this is evidenced at least twice. First when she goes back into the house (presumably to get Hub and Garth for help) and finally when she decides to let Walter go, essentially disowning him in a heartbreaking way. | |

The Bad Guy Wins | |
| Secondhand Lions / int_2e8441c9 | comment |
The Bad Guy Wins: Strangely, the quote from the Karma Houdini entry below is the page quote for this trope, even though the example is closer to Zigzagged. But in the end, it's technically Averted. Hub gets his girl, the Sheik becomes very wealthy due to profits from oil, and is apparently still living large at the end of the film... but as Hub's Friendly Enemy, if the alternate ending is to be taken as canon. So the bad guy didn't so much as win as he did get a separate Happily Ever After, leaving the whole situation as a draw. | |

Not Even Bothering with the Accent: The whole thing takes place in Texas, and Mae has a pronounced Southern accent. Walter, though, doesn't even show a hint of one. Michael Caine as Garth barely bothers with a Texas accent. His partial English accent is explained by having him live abroad (including British South Africa) during most of his life. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Though Hub and Garth are rather standoffish to Walter at first, they're never cruel to him. They're mostly sick of relatives always trying to grab their money, which is exactly what Mae intended. They eventually warm up to him and even take on full custody of him from his greedy and neglectful mother after she showed her intention to still marry Stan, a man who attacked Walter. | |

Once More, with Clarity | |
| Secondhand Lions / int_7374ab13 | comment |
Once More, with Clarity!: When telling Walter how they finally defeated the Sheik, Garth says that he took point in the opening of the battle, and the flashback shows Garth throwing off his disguise and beating all the mooks senseless while Hub looks on. When Walter asks how he could have done so while weighed down with pounds of gold, Garth sheepishly admits that Hub helped out a little... and the same sequence plays only Hub breaks out of his chains and beats all the mooks while Garth struggles to even reach his pistol. | |

Because You Were Nice to Me | |
| Secondhand Lions / int_738d1a0f | comment |
Because You Were Nice to Me: Jasmine was an old lazy lioness who didn't even bother to attack Hub even though he planned on shooting her for sport. But was really grouchy and didn't like Hub's relatives. However because Walter fed and took care of her, she treated him with near kitten like affection. She eventually died trying to protect Walter from Stan. Hub and Garth also count, because they only gave a damn about Walter for the very same reason. | |

He has the leader go first and insists he take his knife back, and lets him get trashed for a bit before letting the others join in. | |

When fighting a group of hooligans, he's actually jovial and even gives them sincere advice on how to fight while fighting them.

Brainless Beauty: Mae is quite beautiful, but sadly, is rather dim-witted. | |

You Will Be Spared: Hub and the Sheikh have a battle to the death. Disarmed, the Sheikh hides his head in fear, knowing that he has no right to beg for mercy. But Hub lets him live, because then he owes him. | |

Betrayal by Inaction | |
| Secondhand Lions / int_f46eebb | comment |
Betrayal by Inaction: When Mae brings Stan to the McCann farm in an effort to try and turn Walter against Garth and Hub and find their money, Stan takes him off for a "man-to-man talk". Mae just turns away while Stan takes her son behind the barn and tries to beat information out of him (though it's possible she went back into the house to get Hub and Garth for help). A later conversation indicates she was aware of his abusive tendencies already but tells Walter she has no choice but to marry him. This is finally the last straw for Walter and he decides to leave his mother for good. | |

A Real Man Is a Killer | |
| Secondhand Lions / int_f5e59782 | comment |
A Real Man Is a Killer: Played with. The uncles are "real men" because they've fought through lots of difficult situations for something that they love and believe in. The fact that they might have killed some people along the way is not the main point. The movie also shows the kind of issues with retirement that men typically portrayed in this fashion would have to deal with once they got older. | |

With Us or Against Us: Demanding Walter that he tell him where the uncles' fortune is, on the grounds they are bank robbers, Stan gives him this kind of an ultimatum: | |
