| Sacramento News & ReviewJim LaneOne of the best movies of the year, an exquisite, pitch-perfect fantasy with a heart of gold. |
| San Francisco ChronicleC.W. NeviusPerhaps the best teen date movie ever set in the year 1914, "Tuck" represents a brave leap against the tide. No sex, no car crashes and minimal violence. It just might be a hit. |
| eFilmCritic.comCollin SouterThe rarest of adaptations: In many ways, it actually improves upon the book. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasA sweeping romantic fable about love and mortality, targets an audience of girls in their early teens, but has been made with such skill and sensitivity that its appeal spans generations. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliNot a typical Disney family film -- thank god. Charming and thought-provoking, this is the kind of movie with the sweetness necessary to appeal to younger (although not too young) viewers and the philosophical richness to draw in veteran movie-goers. |
| Eclipse MagazineSean O'ConnellGaping plot holes and substandard performances from a typically reliable adult cast prevent Tuck from reaching even half of its potential. |
| L.A. WeeklyElla TaylorTuck Everlasting is a wise and beautiful poem to the idea that the fundamental human tragedy is not death, but the unlived life. |
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovThe movie is technically imperfect, but the tale it weaves is movie magic. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonA movie that the less charitable might describe as a castrated cross between Highlander and Lolita. |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigSweet, family-friendly and philosophically complex, Tuck Everlasting is an unexpected delight. |
