    Stardust settles over the viewer like a twinkly cloak. The film, which captures the magic and vision of author Neil Gaiman's fantasy graphic fable, is a transportive journey into a world of true enchantment, which fans of the Harry Potter books will enjoy as well as will adults looking for the perfect date movie. The tale is a not-so-simple love story and adventure, set in 19th century England--and an alternate universe of witches, spells and stars that turn human--and hold the key to eternal life.

    Young Tristan (played with wide-eyed vigor by Charlie Cox) vows to retrieve a fallen star for the most beautiful girl in the village, the shallow Victoria (Sienna Miller), and in his quest, finds his true love--in a true "meet-cute" moment (by Babylon-candle-speeding into the just-crashed human incarnation of the star, Claire Danes). Much of the film involves the duo's journey back home--though home for Tristan is his village, and home for the celestial Yvaine is, of course, in the heavens. There are villains, notably Michelle Pfeiffer as the vain witch who seeks the fountain of youth a fallen star can give, and the seven venal sons of the dying king of the mythical realm, backstabbing, grasping, and hilarious--even in death as a ghostly Greek chorus.

    While the sparks of love between Tristan and Yvaine are resonant and touching, Stardust truly succeeds as a brilliant fantasy yarn--and as a comedy with more than its share of belly laughs. Much of the humor belongs to Robert De Niro, who plays a notoriously wicked air pirate, who is secretly a bit light in his swashbucklers. Ricky Gervais has a small but memorable role essentially channeling his character from Extras, including his catchphrase, "Are you having a laugh?!" The special effects are all that any fan of Gaiman would wish for. Catch a bit of Stardust and you'll feel enchanted for a good long while. --A.T. Hurley

    5 out of 5 stars Stardust Shines Brightly (sorry - this review just writes itself!)   July 1, 2009
    Susan (Pennington, NJ)
    Do yourself a favor and watch this movie. Although a fantasy, it is so much more with wonderful performances from all leads. A Star comes to Earth and what occurs next (and throughout the film) is unpredictable (well, for the most part), very funny and touching. I think likeable characters are essential for a film of this type to work - check!

    This movie totally surprised me. I for some reason cast this movie off as a wast of time but oh was i mistaken. I loved it. It is truly humorous, sarcastic and does not take its self too seriously at all. The acting is excellent and the characters are well developed and intriguing. Of course the storyline and plot are equally well done. This movie reminded me of the mini series the 10th Kingdom, to those of you who are familiar with the tenth kingdom this is 10 times shorter (lol) 10 times well done and 10 times as good.


    4 out of 5 stars A Slight and Amusing Amalgam   May 31, 2009
    Celia Hayes (San Antonio, SA)

    "Stardust" is a slight and amusing amalgam of a movie, beautifully cast and richly garnished with comic/bizarre (or bizarrely comic) elements and props from a warehouse where bits of Victoriana are jumbled promiscuously together with bizarre inventions and devices from Terry Gilliam's "Brazil". It has something of the same skewed fairy-tale sensibility of "The Princess Bride", and features a plot involving (in no particular order) a captive princess under the spell of a gypsy witch, a star fallen out of the heavens, a callow young man who loves above his station, a gloriously wicked witch with a penchant for turning humans into livestock and vice versa, and a dying king whose throne will go to whoever is the last of his sons left standing after killing the others. This magical kingdom is just on the other side of a tall stone wall from a perfectly ordinary village in rural 19th century Britain. Oh, and there is a lightening-hunting pirate ship with a captain named Shakespeare, whose swash-buckling has a distinct swish about it, since he has a not-terribly-well-concealed fondness for wearing lacy underwear. Robert DeNiro obviously had a splendid time with that character, and Michelle Pfeiffer as the endlessly inventive but constantly frustrated witch is an absolute hoot. Clair Danes shines (literally) as the fallen star, whom the initially bumbling country boy-hero Tristan (Charlie Cox) comes to realize is the one that he really loves.

    All in all, an enjoyable diversion, although oriented a little more towards the adult end of the "suitable for family viewing" scale. Extras are just sufficiently lavish for fans, but not so much that they run onto another disc. "The Making of" feature, with extensive input from writer Neal Gaimon - who also seems to have had just as much fun envisioning the story and writing it... and then seeing a movie made out of his imaginings.

    This was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. The cast and story are top notch. Similar feel to the "Princess Bride", but I like this one a little better.

    This film uses the time honored talent of DeNiro and Michelle Pheiffer, along with relative new comer Claire Danes. This unusual fantasy story line unfolds brilliantly. I found it complicated, and requiring attention and thought. There is one scene where an annoying salesman (Ricky Gervasi) meets his end that makes me laugh every time I watch it. I mention this becuase I cannot recall ever laughing at a death scene. Cameo appearance by Peter O'Toole, but this movie is so much more than the people in it. It's well edited, acted, and has several twists, turns and surprises.
