Watch Tuck Everlasting For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

Fresh and Exciting

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

If you have ever had a dream in your life that you think "has to be real" this is a must see movie. It is a very quaint unassuming movie that will take you to a trance-like state at the ending, and leave you there forever. It is sad and happy at the same time. No matter how many past lives you have lived, this is the one that ended with integrity and a sense of yearning for those left behind. It takes the boundaries of "space/time" to an understandable level of enjoyment and acceptance but leaves a life stuck in eternity at a yearning standstill.aka: Snow Monkey

This movie burned and stayed in my memory for years, the haunting melody of the music box was amzaing-I spent years asking people at various music box stores where I could get it. They must have thought I was NUTS, this 8 year old demanding a song that didn't exist. I suppose nowadays, if I had a recording of it I suppose I could have a music box custom made of it (well, the recording and a ton of cash!).Disney's version was nice, but lacking the magical mystery of the original film. But it wasn't horrible. It was New Coke to Old Coke, I was expecting something more of the original and it just wasn't it.The turtle at the end, apparently having lived with Winnie all her life, was kinda a nice touch-my guess is that they used a turtle as opposed to a frog because a frog would have taken off :o) The only reason this doesn't get a 10 out of 10 is that as much as I loved Jesse, he kinda creeped me out wandering around the merry-go-round at the end, granted he was still 17, but even a 17 year old attracted to a 10 year old? NOT good.

Accepted on its own terms, without all the excess baggage inherent in comparing this film to the famous children's book on which it is based, or the recent all-star Hollywood adaptation, this is in fact a beautifully produced low-budget independent film fable. I have not read the original book, nor does that even matter, as any film should stand on its own merit. For a cast of non-professional actors, virtually all the performances are capable here, with the director's father Fred Keller notable as the Tuck family patriarch. The story is naturally compelling, and I appreciated the director's visual sense, focusing a great deal on the faces of the characters in order to foster a sense of intimacy with the audience. The folk instrumental soundtrack adds additional authenticity. It is obvious that the filmmakers of this now-forgotten film put their heart into the production.

I don't care if you like it or not this is one of the best movies you will ever see that was made in the early 80s. I think this is the greatest movie I have ever seen because at the end of the movie when time has passed they show a clip of them driving down downtown Medina NY and that is so frickin awesome you could alway go to Medina and check out the location it has changed sense then but that napa store is definitely still there also you could stop at the local library and check out the movie yourself as long as it is in (vhs only). The new movie doesn't compare to this classic they were made in two different states for Christ sakes.
