A perfect example of Fat Girl Fantasy.

Rating: 4/10 (22 December 2007)

This is a movie of what I like to call Fat Girl Romantic Fantasy- meaning unrealistic and harlequin novel dramatic handling of medieval fantasy characters. Take all the dirt and violence and sex away and you are left with this very light handling of what could have been a very cool movie. Instead we get the same dopey kind of Disney crapola that will appeal to parents that want to let their kids loose on a movie with no full frontal nudity and nobody being tortured to death, and yet escape without a cohesive plot or an entertaining script.
If you watch your movies based on what they are NOT - this movie is for you- it's a piece of crap designed for that mental sloth that inhabits suburbia and doesn't like being offended or frightened with movies. these are the spawn of the men that liked date movies and chick flicks.
They can have this stupid dog of a movie- every time this movie had a chance to soar it stayed flat footed dopey and safe. I am sure the kids will love it- I will go throw up now.
PLOT: A moses style beginning for a boy that is left on the doorstep in a basket learns that he may have some roots in a land of Faeries on the other side of the forbidden wall- unicorns, fallen stars, magic spells for children with adhd and speech impediments abound. If he captures a falling star he can win the hand of the girl he loves, but others want the falling star for their own reasons, and so a chase through faeryland ensues.
Excitement does not. File this under fat girl romantic fantasy.
