The story of Winnie Foster (Alexis Bledel), a teenage girl on the cusp of maturity. Winnie longs for a life outside the control of her domineering mother, and when lost in the woods near her home, she happens upon Jesse Tuck (Jonathan Jackson), a boy unlike any she's ever met before. He and his family are kind and generous, and they immediately take her in as one of their own. However, the Tucks hold a powerful secret, and Winnie must decide whether to return to her life or stay with the Tucks.

Critics Consensus

Though slow-moving, Tuck Everlasting raises big issues and explores them with sensitivity.

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

Those with the patience to submit to its low-energy charms may find their time well spent.

It's a waste of a perfectly good fantasy fable, but should we expect any less from the heirs of Uncle Walt?

Tuck Everlasting is a beautifully told fable with a kind of Halloween twist.

A great book turned into a dreadful romance film, no justice towards the source material whatsoever, this film should be burned if you find the DVD

A bit disappointing especially the ending. The book has such a gripping ending but the movie seems to have spent too much time in the beginning and therefor had to rush to end it. The book is far more better than the movie.

This movie was really nice. The only thing I didn't like about it was the fact that they made her older, so instead of becoming friends with the boy, they fall in love. This made me sad at the end.
