Tuck Everlasting is a movie based on an older, classic book. I have never read the book, and that's probably a good thing. I tend to rate the movie simply in how it compares to the book, and that's not the way it should be done.
It was a pretty decent movie, starting off rather slow, but picking up into an interesting. I was very mystified at the beginning. What secret did the Tucks hold? What was so special about them? If it weren't for my father figuring it out, I would have never guessed until the younger boy said how old he really is.
Like I said, it starts out mysterious, then gathers to a nice point. A certain man in an ugly yellow suit is searching for the Tucks, claiming to be their relative. The Tucks seem forced into kidnapping a young girl, but we don't know why they must. The girl has met the man in yellow, but we don't quite understand the connection. In the beginning, the movie is very interesting.
It starts to slow down a little too much, though, as it starts to focus only on how the girl's parents are searching for her and how she is falling in love with the boy. The pace quickens when the man in yellow finally catches up with the Tucks, but somehow it seems a little too late for that. The ultimate climax is quite humorous (and creepy, too).
I felt that this movie was just a little slow. Very interesting, yes, but it was lacking something. Perhaps the characters weren't believable. Perhaps it was too slow. Maybe it focused too much on the romance story. Whatever it was, it proved detrimental to the movie. It's a good movie, but not something I'd watch more than once.
