| Supercala.comJohn VenableA great film for people aged 2 to 102! Unless you're a cynical overanalyzer, you'll find something to like about this one. |
| Arizona RepublicBill MullerA saccharine, inoffensive kids movie, which might seem more at home as a made-for-cable affair. |
| The Film YapNick RogersIt foregoes the sap and the lowbrow of a lesser movie in favor of engaging creativity and a message that, through some characters' tough choices, actually resonates. |
| Good Morning AmericaJoel SiegelEnd result: You can't believe any of it. And poor Haley Joel Osment. Now he sees dead movies. |
| Fat Guys at the MoviesKevin CarrIt's a feel-good movie, but not in a bad way. It makes you feel good the way that Forrest Gump made you feel good, as if the filmmakers were seriously trying to make a fun, wholesome, entertaining movie without taking on the industry with a moral agenda. |
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionEleanor Ringel CaterFirst-rate performances by Robert Duvall and Michael Caine. |
| Planet Sick-BoyJon PopickA bit clumsy for a film that too often tries to jump from slapstick to drama to action thriller. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasPardon the cliche, but it really is that rare film that will appeal to all ages. |
| Baltimore SunChris KaltenbachEntertaining, thrilling and honestly sentimental, it's an equal-opportunity crowd-pleaser. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansWith [everything] going for Secondhand Lions, it's a shame McCanlies can't leave well enough alone. |
