STARDUST (NEIL GAIMAN) (2007)

MATTHEW VAUGHN

Plot

Tristan is a poor village lad smitten by the radiant, but spoilt, local squire's daughter. When the girl promises her heart to Tristan if he brings her a fallen star the naive, but fearless, young lad embarks on a fantastical adventure to make her wish come true. Evil witches in search of eternal youth, murderous ghostly brothers, camp pirates and last, but by no means least, the beautiful human form of a star on earth are the delights and terrors that await Tristan. Stardust is a good natured, highly enjoyable fantasy family adventure, reminiscent, though lacking the joyous wit, of the genius that is "Princess Bride".
