A really good and thought provoking film on life and true romance.

The entire production bears a certain medicinal scent; it may be good for you, but it's not exactly tasty.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 30, 2008

Yes, kids, there's a lesson to learn here -- and the movie never quite lets you forget it, which is perhaps its biggest fault.

Lambent, wholesome youth film, nothing short of magical, wherein a cosseted, cloistered lass escapes from her perennial confines of parental stuffiness .

A great-looking film with beautiful scenery and some fine actors, but it lacks a good third act.

| Original Score: C | Apr 9, 2003

With much to be enchanted by while you're watching and some worthwhile questions to think about afterwards, Tuck Everlasting is rewarding old-fashioned entertainment.

Harks back to a time when movies had more to do with imagination than market research.

In the end, Tuck Everlasting falls victim to that everlasting conundrum experienced by every human who ever lived: too much to do, too little time to do it in.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 30, 2002

That rare movie that works on any number of levels -- as a film of magic and whimsy for children, a heartfelt romance for teenagers and a compelling argument about death, both pro and con, for adults.
