The 2003 film that concerns a boy living with his eccentric uncles, in the summertime in the middle of nowhere is entitled "Secondhand Lions". This film is about a shy adolescent boy, Walter (Haley Joel Osment). He is taken by his greedy mother (Kyra Sedgwick) to spend the summer with his two hard-boiled great-uncles, Hub (Robert Duvall) and Garth (Michael Caine).

At first, the two old men, both set in their ways, find Walter's presence a nuisance, but they eventually warm up to the boy and regale him with tall tales from their past. In return, Walter helps reawaken their youthful spirit.
