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

 A sweet fairytale November 13, 2008
Not a deep story, but a very pretty one on the screen. Not completely kid friendly as the violence is quite frightening. (Age nine.) Though the story is quite similar to the book of the same title, it has a very different feel to it. This is a whole lot lighter and feels that much less real. But it's more fun too.
 Stardust is a great movie November 2, 2008
great movie for adults seeking escape! Just a great fantasy without talking down to it's viewers.
A Gem, a breathtaking gem! October 12, 2008
Movie making just reached a new, ground breaking level of excellence: the only thing better would be a Director's Cut.
I could mine a dictionary for superlatives... but what's the use? See for yourself.
great movie! October 6, 2008
Although the trailer doesn't make it seem that exciting this is a really funny and creative movie. Highly reccommended!
Cool storyline, and nice PQ! September 30, 2008
My fiance wanted to see this film and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The storyline is filled with humor, action and fantasy driven effects. Great performances by the entire cast, and a great escapist ride!
