Hollywood is mostly BS and so are most of the people who profit there. An old principle is that you can tell a skunk from it's stripes, a liar cause it's lips move, and a wiseman by plain speaking and clothes.
In this Second Hand Lions movie there are two things to know. Maybe three. First, two of the finest movie actors ever are Robert Duvall and Michael Cain. They are both in this movie. Secondly, a movie or any literature is only as good as the writing or story. Even great actors can't make a great movie if the story is not great. Thirdly, it takes no whizbang stuff or CGI to make a great story. Shakespeare had none and his stories are still being used, filmed in variations. That applies to all great authors.
If one doesn't understand then one is illiterate. Facts never really change.
