At this point in the theater as I was anxiously awaiting the start of Ratatouille and was more concerned at the salt to butter ratio of my popcorn than I was interested in the Stardust previews. Fast forward these few months later, add another dash of lack of enthusiasm even in spite of my fortune of getting my hands on a copy of this movie a day prior to it's release. To most aptly sum up my feelings after watching this film.. in a nutshell... I was wrong. Stardust has solid acting performances, is well constructed (albeit a little overambitious at times) and is thoroughly entertaining on all levels. It's a traditional yet gently amusing journey, spectacular, adventurous, and romantic all rolled into one. While the filmmakers handle some of the characters and action tongue in cheek, they treat just as much or more of the film as a straight fairy tale, so you get to have your cake and eat it, too. Yes, it is also sprawling, biting off perhaps a bit more of its cake than it can chew, but the result is almost always engaging. I began smiling a few minutes into the picture, and I never stopped smiling until the rolling of the closing credits. I even forgot to make popcorn. (close)

	I was also very pleasantly surprised with this movie. I don't recall having seen Charlie Cox in any films prior to this and thought he gave an extremely genuine performance as the male lead in this film.

Overall it is one of my favorite films and warrants multiple viewings to catch all the incredibly clever bits and pieces one might miss the first time around. 5/5 starts from me. (close)

	I didn't have any expectations going in to this movie, good or bad. I must say, it was awesome. I'm going to buy it on DVD, I loved it so much. The acting was great, the story line well written (and I see above that it was a graphic novel, so that is probably why!), and the effects were perfect. eta: DeNiro's character was hilarious!

Step Brothers movie review

Some people may think Ferrell is just up to his old schtick, which I can see what they mean, but I love it. He was in his element with this movie, and it was much better than some of his other roles as of late.
