"Stardust" Review


The Professor gives it an A+. IMDB.com entry for

IMDB.com plot outline: In a countryside town bordering on a magical land, a young man makes a promise to his beloved that he'll retrieve a fallen star by venturing into the magical realm.

Wonderful! I've already seen it twice...

The logline above is accurate, but does not do it justice. Neither do the TV commercials. It has the humor of "Shrek" without being a parody. It has the charm of a fairy tale without the saccharine blandness inspired by Disney. It remembers that folk tales, after all, had some really terrifying and disgusting stuff in them, without getting bogged down or over-serious.

Definitely my "see it many times" movie for 2007 so far.
