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.

Watch Tuck Everlasting With Your Kids
Thought provoking. All the teen-age girl reviewers cried when they watched this film. Guess what? I cried too! And I'm an old dude and a "mean" Dad.

Good lazy Sunday afternoon movie
My daughter and I watched this movie on a lazy Sunday. It was very good. The main character Winnie is a strong female who at the end carefully balances the consequences of her decisions. For those who have issues with the outcome in the Twilight series will appreciate Winnie's choices.

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!!)

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".

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.
