SnoopyStyle In 1914, brothers Jesse Tuck (Jonathan Jackson) and Miles Tuck (Scott Bairstow) return to Treegap and their parents Angus (William Hurt) and Mae Tuck (Sissy Spacek) followed by a mysterious man (Ben Kingsley) in yellow. Winifred Foster (Alexis Bledel) is eager to live without the control of her parents (Amy Irving, Victor Garber). They own much of the forest. Winnie encounters Jesse in the woods drinking from a special spring. Miles kidnaps her back to the Tuck homestead.It's a fine coming-of-age romance. It's very PG. It doesn't have great tension or more importantly, magic. This needs a sprinkle of that Disney magic. The young couple's romance is not that compelling and they are limited in the amount of heat. Their chemistry is strictly overwrought puppy love. There is a chance for a compelling ending reveal but the big reveal in the movie is not that compelling. It tries a little poetry and leaves it less than satisfying.

Armand romance. 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.

ryanshepard92 This movie is absolutely terrible. One of the worst I've ever seen. I honestly don't understand how anyone could possibly like this, but seeing as how so many do, I guess I'll have to explain why.For starters, I am aware that this is based on a book and that the book is probably better. Unfortunately, this movie killed any chances of me reading it. I simply won't be able to. I will just be reminded of this horrific movie.Okay, let's start with the plot. Some guy drinks water out of a random stream that just happens to be located in Middle of Nowhere, USA that makes him immortal. No one else has discovered this stream, no one else bothered to drink it, no animals are now immortal because they drank out of it. No. Out of thousands and thousands of years of this stream's lifetime, absolutely no living thing has bothered to take a swig out of it except for some random family from the 1800's. Anyways, Winnie, 15, ends up being kidnapped and develops Stockholm's Syndrome and falls in love with Jesse, 104, the stereotypical Hollywood bad boy that girls just gush their panties for. There is absolutely nothing creepy about a 104-year-old dating a 15-year-old. Nothing. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Despite the fact that this guy has probably gotten laid so many times he's sick of it, he also develops the hots for a girl who's 89 years his junior. Then comes the terrible part. The "love" scenes. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! NO! GOD, SPARE ME! This is the worst dialogue I've ever seen. Ever! And this is coming from someone who's seen Teen Witch, Twilight, Disney Channel, AND the Barbie movies. (please don't ask why) It's just indescribably awful. What on earth was the director thinking? Here are some of the many gems from the movie:"Spend forever with me, Winnie?" "How am I supposed to take you home when I can't make my feet move from this spot? If I could die tomorrow I would, just so I could spend one more night with you.""Winnie: Jesse, don't let go! Jesse: It's OK, it's OK. There's no chance of that, Winnie Foster. I'll never let you go."Somebody kill me! Girls, THIS is why men HATE romance movies! It's not because we aren't romantic, it's not because there's no boobs or explosions, it's not because you have a thing for Edward Cullen, IT'S BECAUSE THEY SUCK! ALL OF THEM! The bland, uninspired plot, the atrocious, ear-bleed-inducing dialogue, the woeful boredom of scene after endless scene filled with absolutely nothing but the characters professing their undying love for each other, even though they just met each other 2 hours ago! Do you now understand? Romance movies are to us, what porn is to you. You don't understand why we like porn, and we don't understand for the life of us how anyone could possibly enjoy romance movies. There's no point in either side trying to reason with each other on this, as we have tried and failed for many years. So let's just agree to strongly disagree. Anyways, back to the plot.Apparently there's something bad about the Tucks' secret being found out. If it's ever discovered that they're immortal, some crazy maniac bent on world domination could find out, and try to kill them so...oh, wait? Seriously, why is this a big secret? Their lives are in no danger! THEY ARE IMMORTAL! So, why are they treating this like it's some big secret? For that matter, why don't they just tell everyone? I'm sure a lot of people would love to be immortal, and all they have to do is drink water from a random stream. Anyways, the Tucks leave forever and Winnie gets over herself and lives to be 100. Apparently, the Tucks could never come back to visit in all of those years. I guess their lives must have been in danger or...oh, wait?Anyways, that about sums it up. The one saving grace is that the movie is relatively short. But those 96 minutes were some of the most excruciating minutes of my life. Minutes that made me want to gouge my eyes out, kill a puppy, and listen to the pleasurable sound of nails on a chalkboard. This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen, if not THE worst.

Chrysanthepop 'Tuck Everlasting' does have a Disney fairy-tale feel but there's more to it. The film does raise some issues regarding how people are treated with injustice only because they are different. In this case, we see how the Tucks have been chased as witches because of their immortality. I would have liked to see director Russell put more focus on the struggle of the Tuck family and the development of the love story between Jesse and Winnie. I liked how the ending was written. It didn't end with a fairy tale cliché but rather indicated how valuable life is because of its limit.Even though the editing appears patchy, the music and camera-work is good. There's a certain calmness in the pace as the director invites the viewer to explore the forest along with Winnie. I liked the natural forest setting.The acting is great. Ben Kingsley, Amy Irving, William Hurt and Sissy Spacek are superb. Jonathan Jackson is competent but it is Alexis Bledel who steals the show. She exudes the innocence, adventurousness and charm that's required to play Winnie, a role that fits her like a well-fitting glove.'Tuck Everlasting' is a decent and pleasant watch. It might not be everybody's cup of coffee but those looking for light Disney-like (and unDisney-like in some ways) entertainment may find something in this.
