Boring awful rubbish

Rating: 1/10 (22 March 2010)

This film is so boring and tedious. It is derivative - cue every fantasy film ever seen and bits will appear here - yes 'Titanic' bowsprit shot and all!! Script slow, ponderous and not funny. Direction tiresome and plodding as with plot. Acting in parts OK, with Pfeiffer and Danes giving it their all, while De Niro and his character is so not Johnny Depp, but is nothing and extremely tedious. Plot of boy crosses into fairyland, shags, son is born, star falls from sky and turns into girl, witches want to eat star to live immortally, so boy must meet girl and fall in love, and then defeat the witches before claiming throne of fairyland!!! You would think you could make that interesting, wouldn't you? But, no, you just sit there saying ';get on with it!' I must point out, that film PR people must be arranging for favourable reviews on this website by paying people to put great scores up - this movie proves it surely. Please can you pay attention to this malpractice!
