The breakdown: A young man gets dropped off with his two great uncles he's never met because his mother wants to go to "school".

This was a sweet and touching story about a terrible mother, two older men who don't know anything about children, and a young man who's trying to learn who to trust.
The young man's mother says she's going to court recording school and must leave him with his two great uncles that he's never met.  They haven't called or given the uncles any notice, but they do end up taking him in at his mother's request.  It turns out they have a ton of money and the mother wants her son to cozy up to them so that eventually her and her son will get the millions.
As the boy learns about his uncles he becomes trusting of them and their wild stories and is learning to be truly happy living out in the country, farming, and taking care of wild animals like an old lioness.
Trouble comes along when his mother returns and she's brought a new boyfriend along.

I won't ruin a good movie for you, you should it for yourself.

4 out of 5 for being a cute movie and very touching.
