From Amazon.co.uk

With the makings of a classic, Disney's Tuck Everlasting is loosely but respectfully adapted from Natalie Babbitt's beloved children's book. This appealing fable focuses on the timeless Tuck family, blessed--and cursed--with immortality after drinking from a magical spring. Hiding their secret over passing decades, they are discovered in 1914 by Winnie (Alexis Bledel)--the only daughter of stern, upper-crust socialites--who encounters the life-affirming Jesse Tuck (Jonathan Jackson) and grows enchanted with his family (Sissy Spacek, William Hurt, Scott Bairstow) while her parents fear she's been kidnapped. The film's teenage romance is invented (Winnie is younger in Babbitt's book), but it's charmingly appropriate, and Ben Kingsley is perfect as a menacing man of mystery. Scoring a solid follow-up to his equally enjoyable My Dog Skip, director Jay Russell turns Tuck Everlasting into a magical plea for living life to its fullest. --Jeff Shannon

Product Description

Set in 1914, Winnie Foster (Alexis Bledel) is a teenage girl growing up with her caring but overprotective parents in the small town of Winesap. All Winnie (Bledel) wants is a life of freedom and adventure. When she finds herself lost while exploring the woods one day, she finds the Tuck Family. The Tuck family have a secret spring on their property which contains the water of eternal youth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everlasting Classic? 28 Feb 2004
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
When it comes to books being made into films it is my belief that no matter how good an actor or director contributes towards it, it is never anything in comparison with the book. However Tuck Everlasting is one of the rare exceptions to this rule.

It follows the story of Winnie Foster who, in frustration with her tediously formal life, runs away from home and ends up spending the most magical summer with the Tucks. Angus, Mae, Miles and Jesse are a wonderfully likeable family who are cursed (or blessed- it depends on which way you look at it) with eternal life. Add to the plot at a yellow-suited man in pursuit of this 'everlasting' family and the frantic efforts of Winnie's doting parents to find her, and what you end up with is the perfect family movie. It's gripping from start to end, beautifully filmed and incredibly thought provoking.

Fans of the book should be warned that the film strays from the original story quite considerably but I find that these alterations make the plot more rounded and enjoyable. And other than a few scenes that are a tad on the corny side, I really cannot fault it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Everlasting memory 3 Jan 2004
By A Customer
Format:DVD
A fabulous film that any girl would love to see. Jesse Tuck (the gorgeous Jonathan Jackson) plays a young, carefree 17 year old boy who, along with his mother, father and brother, has been 'stuck' in time. Living a life of secrecy, knowing that if anyone should find out their gift of immortality (due to drinking from a magic spring), the Tucks are taken by surprise when Winnie Foster, daughter of the landowner whose woods they currently live in, stumbles across Jesse at the spring. She is immeidately taken to their house, before she can tell anyone of their existence. While she is there, a relationship thats would stir even the heart of the coldest person arises between her and Jesse, while in the outside world her parents start a search for their lost daughter. Soon Winnie must choose between the life she knew, and the one she knows now.
One of the most memorable films i have ever watched, and one that never fails to make me cry when Jesse, in his last words to Winnie, claims ' I will love you until the day i die'. Poignant, funny, romantic and inspiring, this is a film not to be missed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tuck Everlasting, Amazing and poignant. 4 Oct 2004
By Mrs. M. L. Rogers
Format:DVD
I have just brought this title after seeing the film on sky movies, I have not read the book, but Im not sure I need to.
I dare anyone to watch this and not be thinking about it and the
questions it raises for days afterwards. It is an absolutely brilliant and thought provoking film, especially when Jesse returns, youl understand this sentence if you watch the film.
It leaves me with many thoughts to think about and I have now watched this four times and still end up thinking deeply about it afterwards. The romance added in the film which apparently isnt in the book, just makes the film and makes for alot more deep thinking. A truly wonderful film and I dont say this lightly I dont think Ive ever reviewed anything else I have read or seen. Fantastic, a film to treasure and watch again and again, and Im 26 so I think that says alot :)
