We watched this the other night- I can’t recommend highly enough. I had looked at the dvd a few times and it didn’t really grab me. It does get very high rating but sort of felt ambivalent about it.

In quasi-desperation we watched this as our Family Night movie. Wow! it was really good! not sickly sweet or formulaic. Acting was charming and story was excellent. Enough adult like content to keep my husband and I interested.
The premise is a young man makes a promise to a girl he think he loves to bring her back a fallen star- if he can so so by her birthday she will marry him. He needs to cross a wall and enter a magical world to get it…
I know sounds … sort .. bleh. But- really its worth it.

The movie starts Michelle Pfieffer, Clare Danes and a great appearance by Robert De Niro .
Two big thumbs up!
