Fans of the book should be warned that the film strays from the original story quite considerably but I find that these alterations make the plot more rounded and enjoyable. And other than a few scenes that are a tad on the corny side, I really cannot fault it!

thought provoking

I read the book the film is based on when i was about 11, so i was delighted to find that there had been a film made.Its a bit slow to start but is captivating and quite thought provoking and the actors are fantastic, Ben Kingsley does a brilliant villain.I recommend anyone to buy this and not be mulling over the choice that Winnie has to make for several days after.

A fabulous film that any girl would love to see. Jesse Tuck (the gorgeous Jonathan Jackson) plays a young, carefree 17 year old boy who, along with his mother, father and brother, has been 'stuck' in time. Living a life of secrecy, knowing that if anyone should find out their gift of immortality (due to drinking from a magic spring), the Tucks are taken by surprise when Winnie Foster, daughter of the landowner whose woods they currently live in, stumbles across Jesse at the spring. She is immeidately taken to their house, before she can tell anyone of their existence. While she is there, a relationship thats would stir even the heart of the coldest person arises between her and Jesse, while in the outside world her parents start a search for their lost daughter. Soon Winnie must choose between the life she knew, and the one she knows now.
One of the most memorable films i have ever watched, and one that never fails to make me cry when Jesse, in his last words to Winnie, claims ' I will love you until the day i die'. Poignant, funny, romantic and inspiring, this is a film not to be missed!
