What Parents Need to Know
About Tuck Everlasting
Parents need to know that this movie includes tense scenes, peril, and a murder. There are some mild teen romantic encounters, including a swim in underwear. The themes of the movie may be too melancholy for younger children.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what they would do if they had the choice presented to Winnie. They should also compare it to the book. Why make Winnie a teenager in the movie when she is only 10 in the book? How does that change the story?

One of my least favorite movies.
I had to read the book twice as a changed schools after 5th grade. The book was one of the most boring things I have ever read. It just so happens that the second time I had to read it, the movie came out. Lovely. Are you guys serious about this movie having a negative message because all of the main characters are white? It took place in a small town in 1881. That isn't a message, it's a historical fact. However, I will say that the movie was INCREDIBLY boring. It focused far too much on Winnie's relationships instead of the actual theme of the story; the negative side of immortality. The movie isn't particularly inappropriate, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they are interested in comparing the book to it.

Tuck Everlasting is a tired effort that tries so hard to be a good movie
Sex/Nudity: There is some kissing between the main characters. Violence/Scariness: One of the lead characters hits a man in the back of the head with a gun (no blood or gore is shown). Profanity: Some name-calling. Nothing serious. Substance use: I can't remember. Social Behavior: Good for the most part. Overall rating: C Age recommendation: 10+

Wonderful!
I absolutely love this movie! Natalie Babbit is a fantastic author, so i would definately reccomend reading the book if you haven't already. I especial liked that it was a clean family friendly film that everyone enjoyed. A simple yet touching story about a romance and a lesson about life.

Great, sentimental movie
This was a great movie "for the whole family". We all enjoyed it for different reasons, but it felt overall deep and meaningful for all of us, I'd venture. Good acting and a surprising, well-told story keep everyone engaged.

Read the book instead!
I was very sad that the movie wasn't as good as the book. It was such a lovely book. The whole movie felt sort of fake. I couldn't actually see the girl who played Winnie as Winnie. It just wasn't a GOOD movie. The best description is that it was "lame".

This was okay
This movie was okay though a lot worse than the book. Jesse and Winnie were good but the stranger in the yellow suit was not very convincing. Also sometimes it got a little slow.

Sweet Everlasting
Nowadays, people should model their movie scripts after this magical movie. The characters were wholesome but not cheesy. The script was well written, the plot was fabulous, and the acting was sincere and realistic. I truly felt sorry for the Tuck family! I only wish I could have been Winnie Foster! (I would have chosen the latter from the ending!!)
