One of My New Favorites!!!

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2007)

My wife and I just rented this, and both of us love it!!!
It is not like anything that I have ever seen before. It is a fairytale/fantasy, but with action and comedy.
(slight spoilers)
It is about a town that has a wall that runs along one side of it. It has an hole in the wall that is constantly guarded because it leads to another world/land. One boy from this town wants to get past the wall to find a star that fell from the sky,... in order to win the love of a girl he wants to marry. He finally finds away to the other side of the wall and finds the star. The other side of the wall is a land of magic and witches, of 2 headed miniature elephants, of flying pirate ships, of kings, etc.
The main story is about trying to return the star back to his town and to the girl that he thought he loved, within a week...... before she would marry another man.
............. I will say this. Although I loved the whole movie,... Robert DeNiro stole his screens. I never thought I would see him like this. You will see what I mean.
