Just saw it. Haven't been this entertained since LOTR.

It does not follow the book TOO slavishly, but it's very well done and preserves the spirit of Gaiman's book quite well. It's touching and funny, and the visual effects are great. Recommended! (For older kids, too; it's rated PG-13)

Cheers,
Michael

Thanks for the review. I was wondering if that movie was any good, though I won't see it until the DVD comes out. Another embarassing moment for my husband! He usually picks up the movies, and is always having to pick up the better children's flicks for me. ;-)

Damn, thought you meant the 70's film starring David Essex.

American Gods has got to be unfilmable. But I could be wrong--there have been a lot of films made from 'unfilmable' material.

Glad to hear Stardust is good. I love the book. I'll probably catch the film sooner or later.

They've also been talking about making a film of "Good Omens," with Terry Gilliam directing, for years now. Wonder if it it'll ever happen?
