Unexpected Surprises

Sometimes you go to a movie with high expectations and sometimes not really knowing what to expect. "Stardust" was one of the latter. What a surprise! It built up slowly and delivered on so many levels. So what type of film is "Stardust"? A coming of age, a romance, an epic adventure, a swashbuckler, a comedy, a fantasy, and a (flying, irreverent, cross-dressing) pirate movie; yes it's all of that!! What a way to escape for two hours. Everyone in the cast gave satisfying performances, many were stand out performances: with a wickedly over the top evil Witch by Ms. Pfeiffer and a flying high scene stealing turn by Mr. De Niro as Captain Shakespeare. Treat yourself. See "Stardust", and be surprised.
As someone who participated in college debate and is still very involved in the scene, I am thrilled to finally see a movie that accurately depicts the activity.

There are several fun Brit cameos in this movie: Rupert Everett, Peter O'Toole, Jason Flemyng, Ricky Gervais, David Kelly, etc. It's a charming movie and worth the two hours of your life to watch it!
