We rented this video after one of my daughters watched it in school, but missed the ending. I thought I would be bored, but the whole family loved it. It is a refreshing change from all the teen movies we usually watch. Michael Caine and Robert Duvall were great as tender-hearted, rebel rousing bachelor uncles who are put in an unexpected postion of raising a great-nephew they just met. I bought this video for our family, my dad, and put one in our Christmas exchange!
