A sweet film that reminds us that fairy tales can still exist in Hollywood

Rating: Null/10 (20 August 2011)

From the moment the narration begins you immediately realize that this is the beginning of a wondrous "fairytale." A delightful story about Tristan, a young man who vows to prove his devotion and love for a woman he has always believed to be the one, embarks on a magnificent journey to find a falling star and return it home. An endearing yet unique film that created a world that literally existed beyond the realms of an ordinary wall; a place full of witches, magical curses, flying ships that capture lightening, and love found in the most unlikely of places, it gave audiences more than the typical Hollywood film that we had grown accustomed to seeing. With a superb cast led by Mark Strong, Michelle Pfeiffer, Claire Danes, Charlie Cox, Robert De Niro and a list that surprisingly goes on and with a beautiful score that compliments every scene, Stardust is truly a sum of its parts; a film that recaptured our imagination and fantasies and reminded us of those rare "happily ever afters."
