DVD Reviews of Tuck Everlasting
DVD Review: Older film, great price
Summary: 4 Stars
Mailed in a timely manner, great quality, and a good reasonable price for this film that my granddaughter studied in school and wanted to see.DVD Review: Good adaption and overall movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I read Tuck Everlasting when I was in sixth grade and enjoyed it a lot. It was a pleasant surprise that the movie is just as pleasant. It retains the feeling the book gives you--that of having a sleepy conversation on a hot summer day. Of course for the movie to sell more tickets they made it into a romance. For those who haven't read the book, Winnie was actually 10 and just had a crush on Jesse, there was no relationship. However the romance did make the story go on well. I think the choices of cast members was excellent, except Alexis Bledel. She did a fairly good job in the role with what she had, but I just think that they should have picked someone different who could have fit into the role better. I also thought she looked too old--even to play a 15 yr old! Jesse Tuck was also much better looking than I pictured him in the book! Except for the romance they also stay very true to the story, which is refreshing. DVD Review: Varies from the novel
Summary: 4 Stars
Reading the novel prior to viewing the movie can provide more detailed character understanding and foundation for a comparison debate.DVD Review: Tuck Everlasting
Summary: 3 Stars
A usual romantic movie (young love and choices) that has an ending with a twist.DVD Review: A family discovery for a single man teacher
Summary: 5 Stars
As a substitute teacher in a middle school English class, I was left this movie to show the class. I knew nothing about it, but I got caught up in its innocent (but never simple-minded) charms. I had to stay late after school to see how it ended! I did not know that Disney had returned so strongly to G and PG rated movie-making. Yes, it is a bit sentimental, but life needs a bit of that, and it offers plenty of food for thought for grown-ups too. A genuine surprise -- and pleasure.
Description of Tuck Everlasting
Walt Disney Pictures' TUCK EVERLASTING, a timeless and enchanting adventure about one girl's magical summer, will captivate audiences of any age. Young Winnie Foster, stifled by the formality of her proper life and domineering mother, escapes into the woods only to get lost. Soon she happens upon Jesse Tuck -- a boy full of life and adventure who's unlike anyone she's ever met -- and falls in love. The Tucks, a kind and generous family, have a powerful secret -- a spring that holds the magic of everlasting life. And now Winnie must choose to live life as she knows it or drink from the spring. It's a life-affirming adventure that will cast its irresistible spell over you again and again.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 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
