while life can sometimes be really, really good, it is, for the most part, mundane, trivial, routine and oh, so boring; this makes a person downright cynical.
once every ten years or so, a story comes along that lets you believe again in things like goodness, dream chasing and the magic of love.
Stardust is filled with legitimate adventure, suspense, romance, humor, pathos, and enough self-awareness to make it a worthy successor to The Princess Bride
- Daniel Carlson, Pajiba Critic
i haven't been this tickled and uplifted by a movie since Le Fabuleaux Destin d'Amelie Poulain (Stranger Than Fiction came close). it is, indeed, this decade's The Princess Bride, rife with fantasy, adventure, romance, suspense and just the right amount of self-awareness. the colours, the soundtrack, the acting are all spot on. even the plot twists you see coming are delightfully executed.
plainly put: gorgeous. i am smitten.
i will not write a review since the one linked in the title is more than sufficient (mild spoiler warning).
