"Secondhand Lions" (2003)

A friend talked me into giving this movie a try.  I read the back cover--maybe yes, maybe no.  So, I conceedingly watched it.

So glad I did.  This movie I highly recommend.

Turns out, this is a movie where the back cover write-up doesn't do it any justice.  And if you managed to do a write-up that does do it justice, it would sound trite and cliche--which this movie is definitely not.  This movie also doesn't neatly fit into any particular genre.  It has touching parts.  It has amusing parts.  And it has lots of interesting parts.  I liked this movie a lot.  It has a nice blend of things, and it had a good ending.

Well-done!
