Tuck Everlasting - 7 stars out of 10

"Tuck Everlasting" was much better than I expected. The key was its perfect casting, from the bright blue eyes of the beautiful Alexis Bledel to the incredible acting of Ben Kingsley to the spark in Elisabeth Shue's voice as the narrator. This unique take on the Fountain of Youth is clean enough for children but creates a nostalgic feel to provide the sentimentality necessary to keep adults interested. The film is complimented by William Ross's original score that transports you back to the turn of the 20th century. Disney has succeeded again at creating a children's film that is entertaining (not merely tolerable) for the entire family.
