    Maybe I connected to this movie because my grandpa loves to garden and I always remember running through the cornfield as a kid playing hide and seek. The way the light filters through the tall stalks can be magical to a little kid… but I love how this movie makes you question what is important to believe sometimes and who you choose to believe. I also love the charming humor, the wild story flashbacks, and the whole mystery behind the two old brothers who the kid gets left with. Definitely a movie I watch whenever I want to feel like a kid again.

    An genuine feel good movie. This movie is so underrated it's criminal. If you need to have a heartwarming coming off age story look no further. You won't be disappointed. A great cast and exceptional acting will have you laughing and crying at the same time. Can not recommend this movie enough.

    I love Duvall and Caine, but I am currently at the age they portray in the movie and this is unwatchable. At the 31 minute mark I am giving up. Otherwise, I will start shooting at my TV like the two cute uncles.

    This film has a warm setting for the older generation of filmmaking. It holding on to its family genre in cinema. The main issue of the film has nothing to do with the overall performance or character interaction. But more so, the tone of the film was way too thrown off in many parts. The journey of the film doesn't correlate with the overall themes of the film. It was like the story was following the arcs of the characters but none were actually a finished arc during most of the movie. I felt as if they focused too much on the story within the story. Overall the film isn't terrible but “it is nowhere near a mighty lion”

    This is my favorite movie of all time. And seeing how low the critics review is shows you why Hollywood is dying. Movies like this is hard to find. Haley Robert and Michael were brilliant in this movie. This movie is about the true heart of Americans before the hippie movement. Its corny parts are very few, but endearing to the audience. It’s like it was needed for a smile. Great story telling with a 50’s feel. Never trust a rotten tomato critic always trust the audience.
