Fairy tale theater

Rating: 7/10 (26 October 2007)

A young guy in in love with a girl. And the girl, not being in love with him but with herself instead, wants proof of his love. So he sets out to bring her a fallen star. Little does he know that the star landed in a world that is very little like his own, but he'll found that out soon enough.
Once in a blue moon a new fairy tale is born and as it grows up it might one day find its way to general public. In this case, the fairy tale did. It grew larger, it grew tangled roots and eventually it rooted itself in full completion on a cinema screen, shining brightly as the stars it tells about.
There must be three or four fairy tale films on yearly basis. Some work, some don't. This one is a slight bit on the plus side of the middle for me. The story is worked out well enough but I think there's just too many bland pieces in it to make it really brilliant. Adding a whole plethora of famous actors to the film usually means the film is supposed to be bad, but in this case it more or less works out. I loved Robert De Niros part in this one. That one worked out really well.
7 out of 10 fallen stars
