... View MoreThe film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
... View MoreBlending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
... View MoreThere's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
... View MoreNo idea about the reviewers on here claiming the movie isn't consistent with the book. They must never have read the book. Wonderful movie. Adds a bit of backstory to some characters to make the plot more interesting and the characters more complex. Beautifully filmed, wonderfully acted. Perfect movie.
... View MoreI first watched this movie when I was in fourth or fifth grade. They had the makings of a great love story. I felt that Winnie could have just gone with Jesse. Since she didn't, she could have at least drank from the spring. She had a much better relationship with her parents after the whole thing, and as time went on and she didn't age, I feel that she could have found the freedom to move. I was also curious about why it took Jesse 100 years to make it back to Treegap. 20 or 30 would have taken care of anyone who knew about Ma Tuck killing the Yellow Suited man, and he was the only other person who knew about the properties of the spring.Overall though it's one of my higher rated romance movies, and even though I saw it so young, I sat in my classroom and cried at the end. Definitely gonna need to buy it.
... View Moreromance. mystery. a sweet lesson about purpose of life. a seductive cast. air of fairy tale. maybe, it is a not great movie. only touching,fragile,waft, delicate, decent play with a not new idea. that kind of film who remembers values and magic and the art of splendid actors without have spectacular ambition. because it is only a soup for soul soup , out of usual cages of melodrama. it seems be a song and the option for Alexis Bledel and Jonathan Jackson is really inspired in this sense. a nice film about a deep dream of each of us. a seductive theme, more important than small errors, and precise tools for give it brilliance.
... View Morei've always thought this was a sweet Disney film. sure it's basic appeal is for teen age girls to watch with their boyfriends, but still, it was a teen love story that i would watch with more interest than say, a 'Twilight' film. unlike the whole babyish 'Twilight' franchise, 'Tuck Everlasting' has some appeal for adults. it does feature Sissy Spacek, William Hurt and Ben Kingsley after all. all of them actors that appeal to a older crowd.that still doesn't change the fact that the two main protagonist here are two teenagers. but the whole thing is done with some sophistication and a lot of good taste, unlike a lot of nasty, raunchy teen fare that is usually offered up to that age group.this is a really nice Disney film and perfectly acceptable for families and all ages despite a silly PG rating. this is basically a G rated film. there is no swearing or sex, and really no violence to speak of. a real stand out for a time period where even family entertainment can suggest a lot of un-wholesome content.this is true Disney wholesomeness in the classic Disney tradition, and like most Disney classics and like the protagonist Jesse, this film has a true timeless quality to it. a must as a coming of age film experience for kids.
