(1 - 34) of 34 OFCS Rating: 55% Rotten Page   1   1.5/5 "The things this movie tries to get the audience to buy just won't fly with most intelligent viewers."   Filmcritic.com   Blake French 1.5/4 "...the film itself kind of lags behind on the same dirt trails over and over again, looking around at all the pretty sights without actually going towards them to investigate."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes C "It's a charming story."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2/4 "Its parts are infinitely better than its whole."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 3/4 "There has to be a few advantages to never growing old. Like being able to hit on a 15-year old when you’re over 100."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress B+ "The movie is technically imperfect, but the tale it weaves is movie magic."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov C+ "Russell...treats the story with such solemnity and reverence that the picture seems an embalming rather than a realization...earnest but earthbound."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "A family film that contains some hefty thematic material on time, death, eternity, and what is needed to live a rich and full life."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3.5/4 "Disney's live-action division has a history of releasing cinematic flotsam, but this is one occasion when they have unearthed a rare gem."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/5 "Elegant, moving and gorgeously shot film adaptation of a classic children's tale is resonant, engaging entertainment for all ages."   Netflix   James Rocchi 2/4 "Director Jay Russell weighs down his capricious fairy-tale with heavy sentiment and lightweight meaning."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 7/10 "The picture comes off as a decently made and thought-provoking little effort."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 7/10 "Solid family fare."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 1.5/5 "Life is far too short for bad movies!"   ToxicUniverse.com   John A. Nesbit 4/10 "At one point, Winnie says to Jesse that she 'wishes this moment could last forever.' I thought the movie was going to last forever."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 6/10 "Bledel's is a great, star-making performance, wonderfully aided by the sunbathed work of director Jay Russell and cinematographer James L. Carter."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 3/5 "While thought-provoking, the film does little more than dip a toe into the idea of what it means to truly live a life"   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery C- "Like the Tuck family themselves, this movie just goes on and on and on and on"   Countingdown.com   Larry Carroll C- "plays like some corny television production from a bygone era"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "[The kind of] story that stays with kids, becomes more meaningful to them as grownups."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "The film is very faithful to Natalie Babbitt's novel, which is surprisingly dark...it doesn't shy away from complicated issues."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 4/5 "Disney has made a lovely film version of the book that is a perennial middle-school favorite."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow C "A great-looking film with beautiful scenery and some fine actors, but it lacks a good third act."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B- "... this Disney-fied treatment overwhelmingly favors the sunny summer paradise side of the equation."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker C "Gaping plot holes and substandard performances from a typically reliable adult cast prevent Tuck from reaching even half of its potential."   Eclipse Magazine   Sean O'Connell "There's no reason it couldn't have been infused with real feeling, instead of just a nice, tidy lesson about the continuity of life and the painfulness of growing up."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek B "Together with this spring’s The Rookie, Tuck Everlasting represents Walt Disney Pictures’ best work in years."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D.
