Additional InformationFifteen-year-old Winnie Foster (Alexis Bledel) is the beautiful, privileged daughter of the richest man in town. A disagreement with her domineering parents (Amy Irving, Victor Garber) sends Winnie outside the fence that surrounds her pristine house and protects her from the outside world, and into the nearby forbidden woods. Her journey becomes a far greater adventure than she ever anticipated when she meets the Tucks, a family of immortals that live deep in the woods. Parents Angus (William Hurt), Mae (Sissy Spacek), and their sons Miles (Scott Bairstow) and Jesse (Jonathan Jackson), stopped ageing more than a century ago after drinking from an enchanted spring, a veritable fountain of youth. With the Tucks, Winnie discovers the freedom lacking in her own small world, and a romance blossoms between the mortal teenager and the immortal Jesse. With the local police searching for the missing Winnie and a mysterious stranger (Ben Kingsley) searching for the Tucks, Winnie must choose between immortality and a life with her new friends, or the life--and inevitable death--of a normal human. TUCK EVERLASTING is directed by Jay Russell (MY DOG SKIP, END OF THE LINE), adapted from the classic novel by Natalie Babbitt, and narrated by Elisabeth Shue.
ReviewsLos Angeles Times - ...A sweeping romantic fable about love and mortality....[The film] has been made with such skill and sensitivity that its appeal spans generations..., Variety - Disney's tradition of intelligent, live-action family period cinema is magnificently revived in TUCK EVERLASTING..., USA Today - ...Well-acted....Sweet, family-friendly and philosophically complex, TUCK EVERLASTING is an unexpected delight..., Entertainment Weekly - ...A dreamy adaptation of Natalie Babbitt's cherished 1974 children's novel..., New York Times - ...An effective, well-made film....[Russell's] eye for landscape is superb...
