Rather ponderously directed by Jay Russell with solid performances from its core cast, Bledel and Jackson are particularly charming, Tuck Everlasting is a film about embracing and living life that young teenage girls will especially enjoy. And while this may seem potentially profitable to people like the creepy Man in the Yellow Suit, Ben Kingsley, the Tucks know the burdens and the tragedies of staying their age while everyone they love grows old and dies. Over a hundred years ago the Tucks drank from a spring which gave them everlasting life. There's something mysterious about the Tucks and we soon find out what it is. Winnie longs for a life outside the control of her domineering mother, and when lost in the woods near her home, she happens upon Jesse Tuck (Jonathan Jackson), a boy unlike any she's ever met before. He and his troubled brother Miles, Scott Bairstow, take Winnie back to their home in the woods to meet their mother, Sissy Spacek, and father, William Hurt. The story of Winnie Foster (Alexis Bledel), a teenage girl on the cusp of maturity. Venturing into the forbidden woods adjacent to her home she becomes lost and stumbles across Jesse Tuck, Jonathan Jackson. In the early years of last century teenage Winnie Foster, Alexis Bledel, is itching to break away from the constraints of her strict establishment family, particularly her domineering mother played by Amy Irving. But watched now it has an added layer of interest because of the obvious similarities between it and "Twilight".Tuck Everlasting is based on the award-winning children's novel by Natalie Babbitt.
WATCH TUCK EVERLASTING MOVIE
What this all boils down to is that "Tuck Everlasting" first and fore mostly is a movie made for a teenage audience.
WATCH TUCK EVERLASTING PLUS
Plus in William Hurt and Sissy Spacek they have great talent and they bring layers of depth to the movie in their characterisations. What for me makes "Tuck Everlasting" easier to watch than the later "Twilight" is not only the condensing down of a story to a single movie but in Alexis Bledel they have a much more appealing star.
WATCH TUCK EVERLASTING FULL
That point is whether Winnie will have to choose to become immortal and live for ever watching lives go by because of her love for Jesse or choose to live a normal life, a full life and eventually die.
But that means that whilst we discover that the Tucks are immortals and they have a mysterious man hunting them down the movie more quickly gets to the point. Okay so "Tuck Everlasting" does have its differences, for one it is a single movie, thank goodness. Okay so well water drinkers is different to blood suckers and "Tuck Everlasting" is set in 1914 rather than the present but it almost feels like an origins story, a prequel it is that similar. That other movie is "Twilight" because there are some very clear similarities between the two with a family who are immortal and a romance with a human.
Winnies parents (Victor Garber and Amy Irving). But watching it again for the first time in 13 years and it is a very different experience thanks to another movie. Winnie Foster (Alexis Bledel) is a girl in her early teens growing up in the tiny rural town of Winesap at 1914. I watched "Tuck Everlasting" when it came out in 2002 and to be honest I didn't think much of it and had put it to the back of my mind. It is both a cure and a curse especially when those they know grow old and die whilst it also leads to them having to watch their backs as others try to track them down. But the Tuck family have a secret, having drunk from a well they have becomes immortals, unable to die or grow older than they are. It is why one day she walks off in to the surrounding woods where she comes across Jesse Tuck (Jonathan Jackson) drinking from a well who takes her home to meet her family Angus (William Hurt), Mae (Sissy Spacek) and Jesse's brother Miles (Scott Bairstow).
As a young lady growing up in a respectable family in the small town of Treegap, Winnie Foster (Alexis Bledel) has no freedom as her parents are more concerned with her having the best future than enjoying being young.
