Young Tristan (Charlie Cox) wants to impress the woman he loves, the beautiful Victoria (Sienna Miller). He promises to go and find her the falling star they have both seen and to bring it to her for her birthday and he has a week to do just that. Little does he know that the star is not a star at all, but a celestial beauty named Yvaine (Claire Danes) and that a greedy witch and the King's feuding sons are also after her with sinister intentions. Tristan pledges allegiance to protect the lovely Yvaine from the evil forces.
Michelle Pfeiffer is wickedly delightful as Lamia, the evil witch who’s trying to steal Yvaine's youth and Robert De Niro gives one of his funniest performances ever as a gay pirate.

There's a certain charm this film possesses, and I found myself transported back to being a kid again, swept away with the story, rooting for the hero to win, the villain to lose, and the cute guy to finally get the pretty girl.
