Plot: With the makings of a classic, Disney's Tuck Everlasting compares favorably with such family favorites as The Secret Garden and Fairy Tale: A True Story. Loosely but respectfully ...( read more read more... )adapted from Natalie Babbitt'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

    "I will love you until the day I die" Is the Key line of the movie, it sound cheesy but is not. It teaches you a life lesson; i just dont wanna spoil anything, just go rent it.

    i really enjoyed this movie and i gotta say, i dont normally go for the girly type of movies (the odd one or two good ones made it to my dvd collection!) but this is such an upbeat movie. its basically about the tucks, a family of 4 (2 sons and the parentals!) Basically it's about this family who finds a spring where the water in it makes the drinker immortal, they cant age and the cant die, they stay the age they are when they took it! ayway's, young mr tuck falls in love with the girl in it, (i think her name was winnie?)and the family can't risk her exposing their secret so, they take her to their cabin in the woods and keep her there until they are ready to release her. now under any other title the whole "family in the forest thing might sound a bit like a slasher flck but its the exact opposite. well worth the watch, and i'm also a fam of jonathan jaskson so it's a bonus for me! lol

    This movie has everything that a Classic Disney movie needs in it, based loosely and respectfully on Natalie Babbitts loved childrens book, this appealing story focusses on the Timeless Tuck Family, who are blessed and cursed at the same time with immortality after drinking from the fabled fountain of youth..starring Gilmore Girls Rory .Alexis Bledel

    what a lovely film, about a family who drank from a fountain of youth so are now imortal, and its mostly centred on the youngest of the sons of this imortal family and a young girl from a rich family, its a sweet love story and i think is interesting. lovely worth watching.

    'loosely' based on the children's book...I've come to adore.



    So, it's different...granted. But still really interesting. Philosophical...even.

    Itīs so cute! I loved the dialogue. Alexis Bladel was actually great and jesse well he was cute but not so convincing. The end is so so good, so sad, so frustrating but I think she maked the right decision because maybe at the beginning the cocept of leaving forever must be great but with the time it must be a nightmare, not to change, not to die and never know waht was going to happen in the "other live", it must be the most frustrating thing of the world.

    I feel so sorry for the girl of this story because she finds a boy she loves, and finds out his deepest secret such as that he cant die and before shes able to drink from the spring she dies while he is off on travels and when he gets back it is some heartbreaking news about the love of his life.
