Plot Summary: "Stardust," based on the best-selling graphic novel by Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess, takes
audiences on an adventure that begins in a village in England and ends up in
places that exist in an imaginary world. A young man named Tristan (Charlie Cox)
tries to win the heart of Victoria (Sienna Miller), the beautiful but cold object
of his desire, by going on a quest to retrieve a fallen star. His journey takes
him to a mysterious and forbidden land beyond the walls of his village. On his
odyssey, Tristan finds the star, which has transformed into a striking girl named
Yvaine (Claire Danes).
However, Tristan is not the only one seeking the star. A king's (Peter O'Toole)
four living sons – not to mention the ghosts of their three dead brothers – all
need the star as they vie for the throne. Tristan must also overcome the evil
witch, Lamia (Michelle Pfeiffer), who needs the star to make her young again.
As Tristan battles to survive these threats, encountering a pirate named Captain
Shakespeare (Robert De Niro) and a shady trader named Ferdy the Fence (Ricky
Gervais) along the way, his quest changes. He must now win the heart of the star
for himself as he discovers the meaning of true love.— More here |

 The sweep of the story and the humor keep things on something of an even keel.
John Anderson
Variety
Everything but the enchanted kitchen sink shows up in the sprawling
fairy tale "Stardust," including evil witches, airborne pirate ships, double-parked unicorns and Robert De Niro as a cross-dressing sea captain. Sprinkled with tongue-in-cheek humor, fairly adult jokes and some well-known faces acting very silly, this adventure story should have particular appeal to fans of "The Princess Bride," but
in any event will never be mistaken for a strictly-for-kids movie.  The movie goes down easy, but there's a thin line here: is this an homage or a parasite?
David Ansen
Newsweek
Vaughn, who made the enjoyably tricky gangster movie Layer Cake, gets points for ambition, but this antic fantasy eludes his grasp.
A magical adult fairy tale.
Sura Wood
Hollywood Reporter
Diverting and pleasurable to watch, "Stardust," a tongue-in-cheek
sword-and-sorcerers romp bolstered by a top-flight cast, is most
adroit when it plays the fantasy straight rather than sending up
the genre.
`Stardust' Fun Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups
Christy Lemire
Associated Press
Based on the novel by Neil Gaiman, Stardust definitely has more than enough imagination and whimsy to keep you engaged.
