Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Those with the patience to submit to its low-energy charms may find their time well spent.
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.
Bledel and Jonathan Jackson's gorge-side canoodling drifts dangerously close to Blue Lagoon territory.
A successful merger of the whimsical and the weird.
