Stardust

I absolutely loved "Stardust." I really didn't want to watch it in the first place. My little sister was far more eager about this film than I was, at first. About half way through the film, I realized that I was being stupid before.

"Stardust" is pretty cheesy, but good cheesy (if that makes sense). This movie is a sci-fi/ fantasy film about a faerie world adjacent to a small English village called "Wall." The protagonist of the film is a young man by the name of Tristan who crosses the literal wall between "Wall" and "Stormhold" in order to retrieve a fallen star for the woman he loves. What he finds on the other side of the wall is a lot more than a piece of rock that fell from the heavens. This film has it all : humor, fantasy, betrayal, suspense,a star-studded cast(no pun intended)and plenty of cheese.

Some of the better-known actors in the film include: Robert DeNiro, Claire Daines, Michelle Pfieffer, Peter O'Toole, Rupert Everett,Ricky Gervais, and Sienna Miller.

Give it a chance. Everyone has their guilty pleasures. :)

"Stardust" is rated PG-13 for some violence and a bit of risque humor. I'd still say it was a family film. There's nothing vulgar or graphic about it.
