A must see from 2007

Rating: 9/10 (16 March 2008)

You wouldn't be able to tell by the previews that were shown on TV and in theaters that this is a must see movie. Like several good movies in 2007 it was over looked. If you're a fan of fantasy movies that don't take themselves too seriously, something along the lines of the Princess Bride then you will love this movie. During some sequences I almost fell out of my seat from laughing so hard. It's a great film. However it's not for younger kids even with the fantasy setting. Additionally, they might not get some of the jokes so it won't be as fun for them. It's fine for teens and adults though.
I don't give it a 10 out of 10 though because for all its greatness Stardust has a few flaws. It gets slow at parts and the ending is predictable. The acting is good for the most part and some major movie stars really shine on screen (De Niro in particular) but at the same time let the other younger stars flourish in their own roles. However it does have some tedious parts.
A very solid film that should be in your collection.
