Imagine if you could live forever. Not in heaven, but here. Would you want to? In Tuck Everlasting, Winnie Foster has to make that choice. Seeking to escape her family’s high expectations, she stumbles upon a backwoods clan that has discovered a spring of eternal life.

At first a hostage of the reclusive yet hospitable Tucks, Winnie develops a sweet bond with the youngest son, Jesse. Freed from her world of corsets and croquet, she decides to extend her visit. And Jesse lets Winnie in on the family secret. Meanwhile, Winnie’s parents send out a search party that includes a mysterious stranger tracking the Tucks in his own thirst for immortality.

Set in the days of buckboards and general stores, this wholesome family film raises lots of questions about mortality and concludes that, to be fully enjoyed, life must be experienced in its intended stages. Theological issues, a few violent moments and talk of family tragedy may be too much for younger children. However, older kids will enjoy the great message in Tuck Everlasting.
