Nell Minow Common Sense Media Lovely version of the favorite middle-school book. Rated: 4/5 Dec 29, 2010 Full Review Susan Stark Detroit News Rated: 2/4 Nov 6, 2002 Full Review Eleanor Ringel Cater Atlanta Journal-Constitution Harks back to a time when movies had more to do with imagination than market research. Rated: B+ Nov 5, 2002 Full Review Kathi Maio The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction It's a waste of a perfectly good fantasy fable, but should we expect any less from the heirs of Uncle Walt? Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Joel Siegel Good Morning America Tuck Everlasting is a beautifully told fable with a kind of Halloween twist.

Kayleigh S Unforgettable lovely movie. Also heartwarming 💕 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review Dominic C Tuck Everlasting is the most forgettable movie of all time that I've seen. While every other movie I've seen where I can remembered something, I legit forget everything about this movie. You know you've made a bad movie when the viewer can't remember a single thing. 3/10 Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Dale R Based on the book of the same name by Natalie Babbitt, a girl falls for a guy who is part of a family of immortals. The premise of the story is interesting and the concept of immortality is treated well here. The love story between the two leads, played by Alexis Biedel and Jonathan Jackson, is too simple and mundane for my tastes. There were several lines that induced an eye roll from me and some were over the top for a budding romance. Ben Kingsley plays the villain and does a good job, but his motivation and plans didn’t seem to work within the narrative very well. If you might be into a romance movie with a fantasy twist, then I’d recommend checking this movie out. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Xivono C This movie was very riveting and visually pleasing. The Tuck secret i believe was very well kept throughout the movie and the reveal of the spring made for a very enjoyable experience. i didn't feel that i was getting ahead of the charcters. The movie did drag a bit and i feel that more time should have been spend on Winnie with the Tuck's. All in all it was a good movie and a good watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Pita Z By far a spectacular presentation! Has a smooth timeline of events and draws you into the moments of anticipation. Very well filmed with a good cast as well. Amazing! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/24/23 Full Review AHMAD SAMIM H I like the book but not that much. the thing I like about it, it was fun to read this book and it was sweet and sad and the only thing that I don't like, it was immortality and people being the same age and not growing up Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
