My biggest problem (even if it actually was a rather small one) was the ending. I find the ending of the book better than the movie. I won't say way as not to ruin either of them, but I just thought the book left you with more of a smile on your face.

Originally Posted By kevsgarden I saw the movie last night and loved it, except that it seemed that about 20 minutes had been cut out of the film. There was just a LOT more I wanted to know about, so much more! The scenery was fantastic and I would recommend that any family go see this film. I did want to see more on the Foster family, especially the parents. the acting was outstanding and the story was dealth with in a dignified way as to not be too insulting. After all it was a fantasy story, but very classy. Disney has done it again.
Originally Posted By SFH Yeah, it is a solid film. Disney has "Sweet Home Alabama" making money, and "Santa Clause 2" will make a hatful if it doesn't stink. It also looks like the perfect opportunity for Disney to create a year-round holiday setting at the theme parks (Studio parks?). I'm hoping "Treasure Planet" is decent. It looks visually stunning but it worries me that the previews have almost no dialogue. Sure, the same went for "Lion King" but that was a different animal, figuratively and literally. Of course, there are two non-Disney films that I'll have to see... Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. But films like "Tuck Everlasting" are just the kind of non-event films Disney needs to make.
