Romance,especially in Nicholas Spark's case, is usually cheesy nowadays. Rarely, a romance is nominated for best movie of the year. And when it is, you understand why. Films like Atonement and An education are a good example of that. But sometimes there are some that are sappy but you enjoy. Tuck everlasting is a good example. It's sappy,and ridiculous,but it doesn't matter. You leave illogic at the door, and you enjoy.
Alexis Bledel plays Winnie Foster, a girl, living back in the old times, who has just moved to some town, I don't know where. One day when she's walking in the woods, she meets a stranger named Jesse Tuck(Johnathon Jackson), who tells her to go away. Soon after, she is captured and taken away by Jesse's brother.
She is missing,and her parents are looking for her. They aren't the only ones. There is a stranger(Ben Kingsley) who is looking for her and The Tucks, because he knows about their secret(which I won't give away). Winnie is living with The Tucks,in hiding, and soon falls for Jesse,and soon finds out their secret.
The movie is very cheesy. When you hear Jesse say" I'll love you til the day I die", you may not be able to help but roll your eyes. The movie is sappy,but it's cute. The plot obviously isn't feasible, but the movie is adorable,and entertaining.
The two leads evoke charm. I preferred it over movies like The Notebook, or anything Nicholas Sparks for that matter. Those movies are too cheesy. This movie still has flaws, but I liked it. So, it's worth seeing if you haven't already.
3/4
