"Catch a falling star, put it in your pocket, save it for a rainy day"

Rating: 9/10 (19 August 2007)

STARDUST is truly a magical film with a massive cast of wonderful actors and a performance from Robert DeNiro which is out of this world to see playing a character that lights up the screen with drama and a dash of devious humor that pilots the story forward. Michelle Pfeiffer, once again as in HAIRSPRAY, plays a nasty role which is such a change from her previous "glam roles" and she is in tip top form. Claire Danes continues to rise to the top as a "real star" and her English accent is superb.
The sets, costumes, locations and the acting prove once again that along with a well written story magic can transform the screen as you see in STARDUST. However, perhaps Act Three might have been edited a tad shorter to reach the fairy tale climax, but as a whole STARDUST is a joy to behold.
