I saw Stardust on Friday and I loved it! Stardust is a fantasy adventure that is perfect for romance lovers. Tristan (Charlie Cox) is a hopeless romantic who vows to go on a quest to prove his love for a girl in the village. An this quest, he grows up and becomes a man. Claire Danes plays sassy heroine who doesn’t let the hero, Tristan, get the best of her as she is dragged along on his adventure. Michelle Pfeiffer  and Robert De Niro give great performances and you can tell that they had fun with the material as they chew the scenery. Genres are mixed and matched in this one. The movie is based on the novel by Neil Gaiman, who is a genius, so Stardust is one of the few original movies out today.

My personal kudos to Michelle Pfeiffer who has been in not just one, but two good movies this summer. Hairspray was also a blast. We all cheered at the end of it in the movie theater.
