Eleanor Ringel Gillespie
Harks back to a time when movies had more to do with imagination than market research.
Jocelyn Noveck
Those with the patience to submit to its low-energy charms may find their time well spent.
Ken Tucker
Any movie that signals the menace of a potential lynching by zooming its camera through the loop of a gallows noose cannot claim subtlety, but director Jay Russell never lets the swirling emotions of Tuck become too drippy.
Ed Park
Bledel and Jonathan Jackson's gorge-side canoodling drifts dangerously close to Blue Lagoon territory.
Richard Roeper
A successful merger of the whimsical and the weird.
Ann Hornaday
Its weighty themes are too grave for youngsters, but the story is too steeped in fairy tales and other childish things to appeal much to teenagers.

Director Jay Russell stomps in hobnail boots over Natalie Babbitt's gentle, endearing 1975 children's novel.

Amazingly sad and wonderful This is one of those movies that you watch and when its over you can't help but feel a sense of peace and yet sadness. You'll wind up spending the rest of your day wondering why she made the choices she did and why he chose to leave. If you're somewhat analytical or philosophical in anyway, I highly recommend this amazing movie.

The Rookie
Family

High school coach Jim Morris (Dennis Quaid) thought his dream was over. He'd had his shot playing baseball, blew out his shoulder, and retired without ever reaching the big leagues. Then, in 1999, he made a bet with his perpetually losing team: If they won the district championship, Morris -- who threw a 98 mph fastball -- would try out for the majors. The team went from worst to first, and Jim was soon on the road to becoming the oldest rookie in the major leagues!
