Beautifully shot and scored, and its pensive pace is a throwback to Disney's past.

Reviews for Tuck Everlasting
The plot meanders from gripping to plodding and back.

Tuck Everlasting” is a kind, warm and emotional film
10/10/02
The movie addresses a hungry need for PG-rated, nonthreatening family movies, but it doesn't go too much further.
10/10/02
Its mythic characters feel like genuine, hurting human beings.
10/10/02
Contrary to its title, Tuck is unaffecting and completely forgettable.
10/10/02
The story will win audiences over, but the underperforming lead actors might test their patience.
10/10/02
An effective, well-made film that will certainly please its target audience of preteen girls.
10/10/02
Top CriticTargets an audience of girls in their early teens, but has been made with such skill and sensitivity that its appeal spans generations.

Top CriticA quiet treasure -- a film to be savored.
10/10/02
a pleasant, picturesque and mildly thought-provoking experience that's nicely played by the entire cast...

Fortunately, we are distracted by the gorgeous production design and excellent performances, with Bledel evoking a timelessness that is perfectly attuned to the film.
10/10/02
Smart, curious and brave, Tuck Everlasting is much like its teenage heroine, Winnie.
10/10/02
A cinematic sleeping pill of impressive potency.
10/10/02
A wise and beautiful poem to the idea that the fundamental human tragedy is not death, but the unlived life.
10/10/02
It's handsomely shot, acted with fervor and reasonably subtle in delivering its message.
10/10/02
Although bright, well-acted and thought-provoking, Tuck Everlasting suffers from a laconic pace and a lack of traditional action.
10/10/02
Solid family fare.
10/10/02
Gaping plot holes and substandard performances from a typically reliable adult cast prevent Tuck from reaching even half of its potential.
10/10/02
...one of those adolescent romances that's just this side of creepy.
