So that's how Michelle Pfeiffer kept her good looks all these years

Rating: 9/10 (29 December 2007)

I didn't know what to expect when I picked Stardust up at the video store, but I just love Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert DeNiro, they're two of my favorite actors/actresses in the world. But after hearing some decent reviews, I figured this would be a film worth looking at. I think in some ways this is the new Pricess Bride for a new generation, we've been needing a good fairy tale movie for a while. Stardust is magical and a wonderful story that will charm it's way into your heart. The cast was so wonderful and a great match. Although I'm going to be a bit traumatized for a while with Robert DeNiro's part for a while, but it's all good... I guess... since he's already proved that he's a man's man... OK, moving on. Stardust is a wonderful family film that I'm sure will be a classic for generations to come.
Tristan is just a hopeless romantic looking for the hand of the fair maiden, Victoria, but she's a bit of a brat with high standards and says that if he captures a fallen star that crashed into the Earth that she will marry him. He goes for it and finds out that the star is a person, Yvaine, who is a beautiful girl, she does go with him with promises to get back home. But there is one problem, she's a wanted lady, she will restore youth to three ugly and evil witches and also if captured, by some greedy brothers, will be rewarded with the king's crown and kingdom. But Tristan and Yvaine face a mighty adventure and fall in love with each other.
Stardust is a wonderful fairy tale that doesn't over do anything and is just lovely to watch. But I tell you, Michelle Pfeiffer is just like the most beautiful woman who is almost in her 50's! How does she stay so perfect?! I think this movie was more of a documentary than a film, lol, just kidding, but she does look amazing in Stardust and does a chilling performance. The cast looked like they had a lot of fun making this film and they made the movie so entertaining. I would recommend Stardust very much, it's a terrific family film and a classic for ages to come.
