Stardust

Can anyone tell me why I should give a rat's ass about a boy who wants anything to do with that girl, much less who would do *anything* for her?

He gets better.

(In the sense of "she turned me into a newt -- I got better", not simply in the sense of improvement.)

I care about some people who get involved with people I don't think are worthy of them.

Cos you should read the book first, where the characters are much better and much more believable. Then you'll go into the movie caring about the characters already. :)
Or, if you're talking about the book, I just dunno.

If you're talking about the movie, totally seconded. Why should I have to read a book to figure out why on earth either of those characters have the slightest appeal (they're both irritating for different but related reasons)?

That's the point of the movie.. he starts off as an infatuated boy, and ends up as a man who knows that what he wanted was infantile.

Also, it's a fairy tale turned on its head. Fairy tales start this way.. a boy or a man doing a symbolic thing, or going on a quest for a lady love, and end with the quest's closure. This quest though, is about a personal journey instead.
