Decent family film about two old geezers played by Robert Duvall and Michael Caine who settles down in their old birthplace Texas after 40 years of swashbuckling adventures. But when their nephew(Osment) whom they have never met get thrown at their doorstep by his irresponsible mother, they soon discover sides of themselves either long forgotten or never experienced. I loved Duvall's performance simply because his character had more mystique and flair than Caine's character. But in contrast to each other it plays out wonderfully humorous. I actually wouldn't mind a prequel of this film based on the story's spent in the foreign legion and numerous wars. And of course Emmanuelle Vaugier's role however short is one of the things i will remember most about this film in a visual context, A stunningly beautiful actress with great acting skills. Well i have rambled on enough. Just see the film if you are in the mood for a comedic but dramatic coming of age story with grade A actors.
