Summary: Captivating tale and characters....
Review: Tuck Everlasting is a wonderful Disney film that is sure to capture the attention of everyone in your family. Alexis Bledel and Jonathan Jackson are a precious pair, bringing enormous talent to the film. There isn't even a hint of the Rory Gilmore that Alexis Bledel plays on the television series, Gilmore Girls. This character is as unique and captivating, as if seeing this actress for the first time. But Alexis is not the only talent, every actor in this film does a remarkable job, bringing their characters to life and making one believe the part was created just for them. The Disney film brings to light the issue of immortality, and if granted immortality a glance at what life would be like. Can one truly live if death is an impossibility? How fulfilling can one life be if they are forced to move about and hide their secret from others? Removing the possibility of death, takes away the possibility of life... to truly understand, you'll have to watch the film - and see if you don't come to the same conclusion.

Summary: Seemed aimed at youth, though suitable for adults.
Review: Summary:
Winnifred 'Winnie' Foster (Alexis Bledel) is the daughter of a wealthy land developer, Robert Foster (Victor Garber), and an oppressive mother (Amy Irving). Winnie feels like she hasn't been able to experience life and doesn't want to be like all of the other rich girls she knows. So when she is told she is going to be sent away to a boarding school, she runs away. What she doesn't know is that the forest that she is owned by her father is inhabited by a strange family, the Tucks: Angus Tuck (William Hurt), Mae Tuck (Sissy Spacek), Jesse Tuck (Jonathan Jackson (I)), Miles Tuck (Scott Bairstow). The Tucks, in their migration west, stopped in this forest for a drink from a well at the bottom of an old tree. But the well didn't happen to be just a normal well - the water makes people immortal. Eventually the Tucks were accused of witchcraft where they settled because they weren't getting any older and couldn't be hurt. So they moved back to the forest to be near the well. Winnie ends up running into Jesse as he is drinking from the well. Though unsure of what they are going to do with her at the beginning, Jesse and Winnie end up falling in love and spending a couple of weeks together as Winnie's father tries to find her. However, there is someone else that is interested in the water of the well, a man in a yellow suit (Ben Kingsley). Eventually, with the help of the man in the yellow suit, Robert Foster finds the Tucks and Winnie and Winnie must decide whether she wants immortality or eventual death. My Comments:
I liked this movie. It won't likely win any awards, but it was kind of cute. The acting was adequate. The story is a good concept and I was impressed with how the idea of the fountain of youth was approached. It was an intriguing story. The love affair seemed a bit far-fetched - it developed over a week or so and, though no one really knows what it would be like, Jesse was 104 years old compared to Winnie's paltry 15 years. You might think there would be some differences in maturity, but strangely Jesse was behaving as though he were still just 17. Of course, then you get to the message of the movie. My wife asked me what I thought when the movie was over and my response was, "Seems like this is Disney's attempt to help kids deal with death." Essentially, Disney is showing kids that living forever isn't all that it is cracked up to be and they, none too subtly, explain that death is a natural part of life. People are born, people die - that's just what happens. Since I don't have kids, I'm not sure how effective the message of the movie is for kids. I think it makes a good point and, because this movie seemed to be aimed at youth, being as blatant as they were is probably okay. Adults may not find it all that entertaining, but you may want to consider it for a discussion of death with your children.

Summary: Pleasant Family Fantasy
Review: Bear with me for just a moment, because I'm going to talk about another movie that has a great deal of relevance to this movie. Remember the original "Highlander" movie with Christopher Lambert? Remember the portion from the beginning until Heather (played by Beatie Edney) died of old age? Remember the glorious song "Who Wants to Live Forever" by Queen playing in the background as we fast forward through the years of Heather and Conner MacLeod's life? "Tuck Everlasting" is another version of this same tale. Probably the biggest difference between "Highlander" and "Tuck Everlasting" is that the former was definitely not a family movie, and while there was a significant love story, the movie was primarily a fantasy or sword & sorcery. "Tuck Everlasting" is a family movie, and the central aspect of the movie is the love between Jessie Tuck and Winnie Foster. In both movies the man is immortal, regardless of the source of that immortality, and the woman either suffers from the man's immortality, as in the case of Heather MacLeod, or she chooses to live the life she was given to the fullest. Both stories are poignant. Winnie Foster is a young girl starting to strain at the leash that her parents have attached to her. When Winnie meets the Tuck family, she finds a freedom she did not know existed. The lure of a relatively rule-free life is always tempting, regardless of time and society. "Tuck Everlasting" thoroughly sets up the comparison between the Tuck's life of freedom and the rule-bound society in which virtually everyone else lives. However, that contrast also considers the drawbacks of the Tuck's lives, and the advantages that Winnie could enjoy in her life. Of course, in all movies where there is a love story and a choice must be made between alternatives, one of which is the love the characters have for each other, we know that somewhere someone must give up something. Regardless of what one gives up, there will always be a sense of loss for what the alternatives might have been. This movie is very suitable for family members of all ages. There is some violence, but it is generally mild, and a good opportunity to ask the younger members of the family whether the violence was appropriate or inappropriate to the circumstances. Another good question for discussion is what choices each person might have made under similar circumstances. The filmography is very good; Disney is regaining their reputation for making quality family films. This movie is a pleasant fantasy with a wonderful bittersweet ending in the tradition of movies like "Old Yeller".

Summary: CELEBRATE LIFE'S MAGIC
Review: Eternal forces that seduce with life and death rewards have always been a staple of film stories. TUCK EVERLASTING is beautiful to look at and has already been hailed as a classic, although not a box office success. Loosely adapted from Natalie Babbitt's book, this fable about the Tuck family who have been blessed -- and cursed -- with everlasting life after drinking from a fountain of youth. The fine cast includes Sissy Spacek, William Hurt and Ben Kingsley. A teen romance plot, not in the book, finesses the idea that life is a magical gift and every moment counts. Amen.
