A young man named Tristan (Charlie Cox), in order to prove his love to a stuck-up village girl named Victoria (Sienna Miller), vows to bring her back a fallen star. Unfortunately, it has landed beyond this very long stone wall the villagers are forbidden to cross. On the other side is a very different, supernatural land. Of course, he crosses over anyways and does find the fallen star, though it is in the form of a young woman named Yvaine (Claire Danes). Also after the star is a witch named Lamia (Michelle Pfeiffer) and also the sons of the King of Stormhold, who simply wish to have the power.
Tristan and Yvaine meet an odd assortment of characters, there are some decent special effects, and a very predictable, very Hollywood type ending.
If you ask me to compare this to another movie I'd say it's similar to BIG FISH, without the emotional resonance. It is a very light-hearted fantasy film...that is not memorable.
