What is it about?

a kid who's mother sleeps around and hooks up with losers.  she drops him off to spend the summer with her 2 old rich bachlor uncles. she's a complete sleaze and tells him to get them to like him so they'll leave him the cash, and also he's to play "treasure hunt" and try and find the location of the stash.

they get to like him, tell him stories of the old days, and teach him to be a man.

I know that sounds really sappy, but I can't really do a discription that does it justice.

 just trust me it's a great movie.  I rarely laugh out loud at a movie and I was laughing most of the way through this one. I can't think of a better movie I've seen in the last 6 month or so.


btw- for those who seen it already.  I really got a good laugh at the dinner scene.  my father was in his late 40's when I was born and he was a bit rough around the edges. so by the time I was the kids age, my dad was a lot like the 'hub' character in the movie (but dad didn't have as much to say).  some days going out with dad when I was that kids age was a bit like that dinner scene.  it just brought back some memorys I'd forgot, along with some good laughs.

Just saw it a couple of hours ago.  I enjoyed it.  Nothing really innovative but I loved Duvall's And Cain's characters.  I found it funny that both Texans were played by a Brit and Canadian.
