Reviews

The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction

Kathi Maio

It's a waste of a perfectly good fantasy fable, but should we expect any less from the heirs of Uncle Walt?

Tuck Everlasting is a beautifully told fable with a kind of Halloween twist.

Lovely version of the favorite middle-school book.

A really good and thought provoking film on life and true romance.

The entire production bears a certain medicinal scent; it may be good for you, but it's not exactly tasty.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Tuck Everlasting, a Disney film about a teen girl who meets a family who is immortal after drinking from a fountain of youth on their property, raises profound questions about life and death, the cycle of life, and aging. Besides the heady subject matter, there are some violent altercations of characters being shot at or hit in the head with rifles. Overall, the film should raise interesting discussions about immortality, life, and how to live.
