I felt that this film really did good job following how the book went. The plot was really good. I really liked how they show different point of view or ays of life, The acting was really top notch . The Fantasy part really went well with other parts of the film without over powering the rest of the film.
A film that people should watch.

As I right this review, the Broadway musical of this classic children's novel from the 1970s opened on Broadway to excellent reviews from the New York Times. Having just seen that a few weeks ago, I Revisited the movie and slowly remember what has Enchanted me when I seen this years ago. Jonathan Jackson, the handsome and innocent-looking Lucky Spencer from "General Hospital", is the innocent young boy who is older than he seems. In the opening scene, he drives up to an old southern mansion on a motorcycle, and the film flashes back many years to when he had first met the heroine (Alexis Biedel) whom he fell in love with."Do not fear death, but only the unloved life." that is the theme for the book, two movies and the new Broadway musical. It occurs in the woods in the back of the Foster mansion in the self, where Jackson's father William Hurt and mother Sissy Spacek make their home, hiding out because they are destined to live forever. Jackson falls in love with Biedel whom his older brother is forced to kidnap when she discovers the secret, and the presence of a mysterious Man in the Yellow Suit Ben Kingsley threatens to destroy their hiding place and reveal the secret, giving the potential of making them into freaks. Moving performances by the entire cast (which includes Amy Irving as the heroine's mother and Victor Garber as her father) make this truly worth watching, as does the very direct way that the screenplay presents the story.I've always been a Sissy Spacek fan, and she is totally lovely as the kindly mother who takes Biedel under her wing as if she were her own daughter. William Hurt, who has played his share of villains and heroes, is wise and humble as Jackson's father who provides the film's moral. Along with Dianne Wiest and Alan Arkin in "Edward Ecissorhands", these two rank as the best surrogate parents in film history. Kingsley makes a great villain, his character amply described in the musical as an "evil banana". While this lacks certain elements from the novel and the musical, it moves briskly and makes its point which I have greatly accepted: a life well lived needs an ending, and hopefully, you go out with applause and thumbs up for a job well done.

Tuck Everlasting exceeded expectations! It's a mature and contemplative movie about, wait for it... immortality. Did not expect that from a Disney family film.Alexis Bledel rebels against the boundaries set by her 19th century rich parents and ends up finding out a big secret about a family living in the woods nearby, the Tucks. Old man Tuck, played by William Hurt, is a wise and gentle man with infinite patience, who still understands the turmoils of the young heart. This performance absolutely steals the film, though the teen romance has its place in the story as well.Ben Kingsley as a yellow-suited bad guy is a lot of fun to watch.

story of the movie is like a fairy tale so while watching it, time is passing faster. end of the movie is hard to predict so this makes it enjoyable. sometimes the movie has a tension so it doesn't make you get bored.secondly the atmosphere and places of the movie is really good, it is all forest and there are really nice lakes around. acting is also good. even there are two famous actors and an actress. the movie also questioning what will happen if we live forever.finally this is a movie worth watchable but don't expect much. if you like mystery, fairy tale and love movies take a look at this one.
