TV Article TUCK EVERLASTING By Mike Flaherty Published on February 28, 2003 05:00AM EST Director Jay Russell (”My Dog Skip”) tells another story of intrepid childhood with his pretty — and pretty saccharine — take on Natalie Babbitt’s 1975 novel. ”Gilmore Girls” star Bledel is Winnie Foster, a sheltered rich girl whose attempt to flee her stiff-upper-lipped parents (Victor Garber and Amy Irving) leads her to a woodsy encounter with the Tuck family, who have lapped up immortality from a gurgling spring. She’s entranced with the idea, especially as it’s embodied in 17-year-old Jesse (Jackson). The lush locations and heavyweight supporting cast (including William Hurt, Sissy Spacek, and Ben Kingsley) almost outweigh the heavy-handed moralizing. Tuck may leave the rainbows-and-unicorns set swooning, but parents will be checking their watches.
