Plot: With the makings of a classic, Disney's Tuck Everlastingcompares favorably with such family favorites as The Secret Garden and Fairy Tale: A True Story. Loosely but respectfully adapted from Natalie B...( read more read more... )abbitt's beloved children's book, this appealing fable focuses on the timeless Tuck family, blessed--and cursed--with immortality after drinking from a magical spring. Hiding their secret over passing decades, they are discovered in 1914 by Winnie (Alexis Bledel)--the only daughter of stern, upper-crust socialites--who encounters the life-affirming Jesse Tuck (Jonathan Jackson) and grows enchanted with his family (Sissy Spacek, William Hurt, Scott Bairstow) while her parents fear she's been kidnapped. The film's teenage romance is invented (Winnie is younger in Babbitt's book), but it's charmingly appropriate, and Ben Kingsley is perfect as a menacing man of mystery. Scoring a solid follow-up to his equally enjoyable My Dog Skip, director Jay Russell turns Tuck Everlasting into a magical plea for living life to its fullest. --Jeff Shannon

    SUCH a good movie! I admit, this is something that girls will naturally like more, but my husband didn't mind it. Visually beautiful, just from the scenery, and what I REALLY appreciated was how closely the movie stayed true to the book. Granted, she was 5 years older in the movie, but it was better this way. I like the book, LOVE the movie. I'm not a fan of The Gilmore Girls, either, but Alexis Bledel really did a good job! The chemistry between Winnie and Jesse was very real.

    And... if you want in on a secret... this is one of like 3 movies I've ever cried at. Honest! When Miles recounted his story, it was too much.

    The only part... they should have included that frog like they did with the book. I was disapointed. The frog played a big part, all things considered!
