Seriously awesome movie.
It is so nice to see a fairy tale.
Basic story - Guy is trying to impress girl and he says he'll go get her the shooting star they see within a week. And she agrees to marry him if he does.
Meanwhile the king is dying and he sets a quest for his sons to determine succession. First one to get the necklace is king - necklace flies off and knocks the star out of the sky (shooting star that the main guy sees). And you have a witch who wants the star because it'll give her eternal life.
Robert De Niro is too funny.
Peter O'Toole pretty evil and funny.
Ricky Gervais (from The Office - the real one) is in it, so are Michelle Pfieffer, Clare Danes, and quite a few others.
You'll enjoy this one.

I love De Niro's comedy work, but he's such a ganster, so it's always edgy.
I'm going through a I-Don't-Like-Michelle-Pfeiffer phase, cause she was a real bitch in Hairspray, so i'm probably not going to see this movie anytime soon.
Yeah, i'm weird like that. I don't watch ANY Catherine Zeta-Jones movies after "America's Sweethearts", she was just a total drol, and till today i can't stand her. But i'm sure Michelle can still redeem herself, i just need to watch Tequila Sunrise or something again. Ooh, ooh, or One Fine Day, then she will carry some of George clooney's good will, and that will definitely help. Or Story of Us, dan kan sy bietjie op my Brucie piggy-back...
All of a sudden i want to watch a Michelle Pfeiffer movie... what's wrong with me?

She is the witch in this film and is really good. Well, she is an evil witch, but plays the part so well.

I must admit, Robert De Niro and Claire Danes kinda made the movie for me.
It was nice and lighthearted indeed, but that captain shakespeare.. man, classic!

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Really fun film, nothing much to think about just sit back and enjoy. Left the cinema feeling all warm and fuzzy.
A Must have DVD for me.

It was released on DVD very quickly. Awesome movie. De Niro's character is just too funny. One of the best fantasy movies of the last few years.

Yep. It will be awesome when simultaneous dvd / theater releases become the norm (if it ever does).

It Won't TG - they still rely on opening weekends and a month at the BO to maximise profits.
DVD release would leave to much room for rental and money loss.

What worries me is that you actually didnt get excited by her at all, but rather by all the guys in the movies.... *maybe the soap isnt a trap ey?*

I watched this with my wife, it was pretty funny. I hate movies in general and dont have the patience to watch stuff but it was very nicely done. Modern day fairytale kekekeke.
