 "It takes a really long, slow and dreary time to dope out what TUCK EVERLASTING is about. So here it is: It’s about a family of sour immortals."
-- Victoria Alexander, FILMSINREVIEW.COM
"Though a bit of a patchwork in script and production, a glossy, rich green, environment almost makes the picture work."
-- Ross Anthony, HOLLYWOOD REPORT CARD
"Director Jay Russell weighs down his capricious fairy-tale with heavy sentiment and lightweight meaning."
-- Jeanne Aufmuth, PALO ALTO WEEKLY
 "... this Disney-fied treatment overwhelmingly favors the sunny summer paradise side of the equation."
-- Sean Axmaker, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER
"The combined talent helps raise Tuck Everlasting to the realm of quality children's entertainment."
-- Marjorie Baumgarten, AUSTIN CHRONICLE
"Disney has always been hit-or-miss when bringing beloved kids' books to the screen...Tuck Everlasting is a little of both."
-- Rob Blackwelder, SPLICEDWIRE
"The plot meanders from gripping to plodding and back."
-- Jordana Brown, CITYSEARCH
"A family film that contains some hefty thematic material on time, death, eternity, and what is needed to live a rich and full life."
-- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, SPIRITUALITY AND HEALTH
"The magic of the film lies not in the mysterious spring but in the richness of its performances."
-- Keith Cassidy, MIAMI HERALD
"plays like some corny television production from a bygone era"
-- Laura Clifford, REELING REVIEWS
"As refreshing as a drink from a woodland stream."
-- Linda Cook, QUAD CITY TIMES (DAVENPORT, IA)
"Usually when I get this much syrup, I like pancakes to go with it."
-- Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone, THEMOVIECHICKS.COM
"In the end, Tuck Everlasting falls victim to that everlasting conundrum experienced by every human who ever lived: too much to do, too little time to do it in."
-- Matt Easterbrook, MATT'S MOVIE REVIEWS

"That rare movie that works on any number of levels -- as a film of magic and whimsy for children, a heartfelt romance for teenagers and a compelling argument about death, both pro and con, for adults."
-- Joe Baltake, SACRAMENTO BEE
"Sure to make teenage girls giddy, their mom’s cry and their father’s smile."
-- Bruce Bennett, SPECTRUM (ST. GEORGE, UTAH)
"A cinematic sleeping pill of impressive potency."
-- Jay Boyar, ORLANDO SENTINEL
"A movie that the less charitable might describe as a castrated cross between Highlander and Lolita."
-- Matt Brunson, CREATIVE LOAFING
"Like the Tuck family themselves, this movie just goes on and on and on and on"
-- Larry Carroll, COUNTINGDOWN.COM
"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."
-- Erik Childress, EFILMCRITIC.COM
"Though the film is well-intentioned, one could rent the original and get the same love story and parable."
-- Tim Cogshell, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE
"[Jackson and Bledel] seem to have been picked not for their acting chops, but for their looks and appeal to the pre-teen crowd."
-- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE
"A poignant story with some worthwhile themes."
-- Daniel Eagan, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL
"Tuck Everlasting achieves a delicate balance of romantic innocence and philosophical depth."
-- Michael Elliott, MOVIE PARABLES

"Director Jay Russell stomps in hobnail boots over Natalie Babbitt's gentle, endearing 1975 children's novel."
-- Sid Adilman, TORONTO STAR
"Disney's live-action division has a history of releasing cinematic flotsam, but this is one occasion when they have unearthed a rare gem."
-- James Berardinelli, JAMES BERARDINELLI'S REELVIEWS
"It's solid and affecting and exactly as thought-provoking as it should be."
-- Ty Burr, BOSTON GLOBE
"A quiet treasure -- a film to be savored."
-- Nancy Churnin, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
"Tends to plod."
-- Robert Denerstein, DENVER ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS
"The movie is too impressed with its own solemn insights to work up much entertainment value."
-- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
"Although bright, well-acted and thought-provoking, Tuck Everlasting suffers from a laconic pace and a lack of traditional action."
-- Robert K. Elder, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"Harks back to a time when movies had more to do with imagination than market research."
-- Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION
"Its weighty themes are too grave for youngsters, but the story is too steeped in fairy tales and other childish things to appeal much to teenagers."
-- Ann Hornaday, WASHINGTON POST
"The movie addresses a hungry need for PG-rated, nonthreatening family movies, but it doesn't go too much further."
-- Desson Howe, WASHINGTON POST

"The things this movie tries to get the audience to buy just won't fly with most intelligent viewers."
