Tuck Everlasting (2002)

Very best movie i ever watch

Just perfect...

best movie i've ever seen.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

No idea about the reviewers on here claiming the movie isn't consistent with the book. They must never have read the book. Wonderful movie. Adds a bit of backstory to some characters to make the plot more interesting and the characters more complex. Beautifully filmed, wonderfully acted. Perfect movie.

I first watched this movie when I was in fourth or fifth grade. They had the makings of a great love story. I felt that Winnie could have just gone with Jesse. Since she didn't, she could have at least drank from the spring. She had a much better relationship with her parents after the whole thing, and as time went on and she didn't age, I feel that she could have found the freedom to move. I was also curious about why it took Jesse 100 years to make it back to Treegap. 20 or 30 would have taken care of anyone who knew about Ma Tuck killing the Yellow Suited man, and he was the only other person who knew about the properties of the spring.Overall though it's one of my higher rated romance movies, and even though I saw it so young, I sat in my classroom and cried at the end. Definitely gonna need to buy it.

I rarely give ten stars, but this movie makes the cut. The story asks you to ponder, "What would it be like to live forever?", "Would that be a good thing?", and "If you had the chance, would you choose immortality?" Young Winnie meets the kind yet enigmatic Tuck family and is faced with these very questions. Then, we get to watch her decide her answers.In terms of style, this is a gorgeous film! I love the rich, saturated colors and hauntingly beautiful score! The narrative is unrushed and savors each scene without actually feeling slow. In terms of casting, I also think it is perfect! When I watch the story, I stop seeing actors and actresses, but only see Winnie, Jesse, Mae, etc.If you enjoy a movie that prompts you to ponder life and its richness, that keeps you thinking after the credits end-- then go watch "Tuck Everlasting" ASAP!

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.
