![]() The movie stuck pretty close to the book, right down to several quotes taken from the book. I will start by saying that I have read the book and it is one of my all-time favorites. If you can forget the flaws, forget the question you might have, you must be able to fully enjoy this. All this together with a very nice score and some beautiful images make this a very good movie. This and three other respectable actors like Hurt, Spacek and Kingsley make sure the movie does not fail on that level. Jonathan Jackson, who I only know from a small part in 'Insomnia', is a good choice for Jesse. Although you sometimes see the Rory Gilmore of 'The Gilmore Girls' Bledel does a nice job with her Winnie Foster. They are sweet together, have some nice scenes. Another reason you don't want to ask questions is Alexis Bledel together with Jonathan Jackson. Although that is not a good thing in most movies it works perfectly here. It does not really focus on the reason of immortality, it does not really focus on the relationship between Jesse and Winnie and it does not really focus on the outsiders like Winnie's parents and the Kingsley-character. First of all it is a good thing the movie keeps the attention in the middle of everything. There a couple of reasons we don't really want to ask too many questions. You can probably understand how many flaws a movie like this must have. He knows how the Tucks have found their immortality and has plans for himself. A man in a yellow suit (Ben Kingsley) is actually looking for the Tuck family but thinks he will find the girl with them as well. ![]() In the mean while we have Winnie's parents (played by Amy Irving and Victor Garber) looking for her. Winnie becomes a new member of the family. Although at first the family thinks Winnie needs to be killed, things change when Jesse Tuck and Winnie start to have feeling for one another. The young teenager who is taken by the family so she can not reveal their secret is Winnie Foster (Alexis Bledel). The immortal family exists out of father Angus Tuck (William Hurt), mother Mae (Sissy Spacek) and two sons named Miles (Scott Bairstow) and Jesse (Jonathan Jackson). The story about an immortal family and a young teenager that comes into their lives is probably a well known story for some audiences, but I didn't know it. You could ask question after question but I did not find a reason to do so. 'Tuck Everlasting' is one of those sweet movies with a lot of flaws you don't care about. This failed at the box office but it really should be rediscovered. This is beautiful-well-directed and acted with a sweeping music score. And Elisabeth Shue narrates and does an excellent job. But Sissy Spacek, William Hurt, Amy Irving and Scott Bairstrow also turn in very good acting. This is also a rare film where virtually every performance is good-especially Bledel and Jackson. They don't overdo the sentimentality (as they could have) and make the story quite moving and engrossing. Disney made a quiet, beautiful, charming fantasy film. I never saw the 1980 version of this and when I heard Disney was going to redo it I expected the worst. ![]() I love it! I thought it was just incredible. I read this book in college as part of a Children's Literature class. The problem is that he's part of a family that are immortal. If you like Tuck Everlasting, you might also like 2002 Romantic Drama Films, Films Shot In Maryland, 2000s English-language Films, and Walt Disney Pictures Films.A young rich girl (Alexis Bledel) in the early 1990s, meets and falls in love with Jesse Tuck (Jonathan Jackson). And in the end, learns, that death is not what is to be feared, but an unlived life. She escapes one morning to explore the woods surrounding her family's home, and encounters the Tucks, a close-knit family with a mysterious past that begs the question: If you could live forever, would you? And just when Winnie believes she has answered that question for herself, a mysterious man looking to profit from the source of the Tuck's immortality that will have her question her life, her desires, and what is the right thing to do. But Winnie finds that the heat of summer is not nearly as stifling as her gilded cage. ![]() She dresses in the finest clothes and is afforded every opportunity to refine herself. She comes from a well-bred, wealthy, and respected family. Winnie Foster has everything a young woman could desire. ![]()
