Movie Reviews of Tuck Everlasting
Movie Review: Much better than the Country Bears!
Summary: 5 Stars
About 2 to 5 weeks ago, I was watched the Country Bears, and found it a bad film by Disney, and now they have made it up, they made and came with this movie called "Tuck Everlasting". Which is about a girl that meets teenageer that is 104, and I must say that for being 104, that Jessie Tuck looks better good for his age. The girl is 15 years old and her name is Winfred. The Tucks are immortal, becuase they have discorved a a pond, that makes them living forever, even if they fall, and don't get hurt, or shot but not get hit. As the movie opens, Winfred "Winnie" Foster (Alexis Bledel) has met a stranger in a yellow suit, who is looking for the Tucks. Her parents decide to send her to a school that would manners. She doesn't want to go and runs away from home, and his lost in the woods and she runs into Jessie Tuck (Jonathan Jackson), who tells her to get out of the woods and to go home. But she runs, and runs into Jessie's grumpy brother Miles (Scott Barrstow), who takes her to his mom (Sissy Spaey). Who tells Miles to get his father (William Hurt) from fishing, because "he'll" not what to do with Winnie. I would reccomend this movie to you on dvd, if you love movies in "letter-box" fromat, and if you don't, then you will have to settle for the video tape edition, but a word of warning, if you get this on dvd, there are trailers for other movies like George of the Jungle 2 and Inceptor Gadge 2.Movie Review: Amazing movie!!!

I loved this movie so much. The first time i saw it was just after i read the book, And whenever they make a movie out of a book its never as good as the book. But this movie is definetly as good, or even better then the book. This movie is about a girl named Winnie who is fed up with life at home, and goes exploring in the woods. In the woods she meets a boy named Jesse Tuck, along with the rest of his family. Winnie learns that the Tuck family is imortal. They will live forever and can not die. They decide to keep her at their house, intill she understands why she can not tell about the little spring that makes them imortal. While she is staying with the Tucks Winnie and Jesse fall in love. There is an amazing scene that almost made me cry, when Winnie is being taken away from Jesse. Mae the mother hits the man who is trying to take away winnie on the head with a gun, and he dies. She and her husband are then put in jail, to be hung. The problom is, if she is hung she will not die, and every one will know the secret. If you want to know what happens next, see the movie!!!This movie has some very good acors including Alexis Bledel as Winnie,Jonathan Jackson as Jesse Tuck and Ben Kingsley as the Man in the Yellow Suit. All in all,this was a great movie and you should get it!!!Movie Review: What Comes From Drinking The Tuck's Water Isn't Montezuma's Revenge
Summary: 5 Stars
I recall how in middle school, gosh, almost twenty years ago now, we were assigned this book and my friend Ron got suspended (hey, it was Catholic school) for saying the title of the novel was one letter off from the thing he wished for the most. That set the tone in my head for Tuck Everlasting, but I was soon to be swept into one of the most poignant tales of love, choices and consequence I'd read in my young life. I went on to buy the book and re-read it with fondness several times in my teenage years, always finding something new to delight me, captivate me, or even torment me. When the film came out in the last decade, the Tens, I couldn't wait to see it and was glad to find it was every bit as lovely and meaningful as I'd hoped it would be. Today on Blu-ray Tuck Everlasting is more beautiful than ever and every bit as good as it was nearly ten years ago. Alexis Bledel is wonderful here in what I think is the performance of her career, and a strong supporting cast which includes William Hurt, Sissy Spacek and Ben Kingsley really adds power to Natalie Babbitt's masterful story of "what if?". This is just a great movie from beginning to end. The Twilight crowd ought to really love it!Movie Review: My favorite movie from the latest century

I had to laugh the guy who placed the review on this site, claiming that "Tuck Everlasting" is a boring movie that put him to sleep. Following the link to see the rest of his reviews, he has given "Jackass" a four-star rating and "The Hot Chick" five stars. Guess some people find any movie that takes some gray-matter to be a little to slow for their taste!
This is a wonderful movie. It is actually too bad that it is being marketed incorrectly. This is not just a children's movie, but a first class film through and through. Ben Kingsley, Alexis Bledel, William Hurt and Sissy Spacek shine. Ms. Bledel may prove to be one of the finest actresses of our current time if she keeps it up.
One of the first things that struck me about this movie was that it didn't appear to be a product of its time. There is no vile language, no potty humor, and the story actually makes the viewer contemplate whether they, themselves, would want to be immortal.
The DVD transfer is beautiful, quite a change from most Disney DVD's. The extras are rather limited, but who cares. This is a great movie, and can stand on its own.
Movie Review: has to be one of the most beautiful movies ever filmed
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the book by Natalie Babbitt and loved it, but was wary about watching the movie. After reading some amazon.com reviews I decided to give it a try. I'm very glad I did. It has the feel and plot of the book, which I was pleased to see. The main change was Winnie and Jesse's romance. I think Disney did well in adding this, because I don't think an eleven-year-old Winnie would've worked as well. Besides, they would have had to get someone else to play her and Alexis Bledel is just too perfect for words. I think the two best scenes were the one where she and Tuck are rowing in a boat on the pond and the one with her and Jesse in the water. The story is very simply and beautifully told and the music is lovely. The point of the movie is, what it would be like to live forever? Would it be worth it? Or would it be better to "just live"? This movie will make you taste life more and see things differently. It was funny at times, and heartrending at others. If you haven't seen it yet you have to. A simple, beautiful, powerful film.
