Legend

Legend - in which Tom Cruise plays a forest-person named Jack who meets a nice girl and tries to show her around.

So, the whole magical good/evil balance is swung in the favor of Evil, and this red demon guy seems ready to secure the forest for himself. So, he is on a mission to get the Last Unicorn (not that movie) and Jack is trying to find Lili, who has run off because of guilt and fear. Or maybe the demon has kidnapped her. I should have  written this synopsis much sooner. Well, the Darkness is HUGE and red and scary and Tom Cruise is super sweet and the forest is pretty nice. The bad guy doesn't win, I guess that's the important part.

So, Wesley, from The Princess Bride, I mean, Cary Elwes, is friendly and charming to her, and obviously flattered by the attention of a young woman. Oh, she's 14. Yeah. So, she gets obsessed with him, and he encourages this friendship by talking to her, inviting her in, spending time with her, and taking her suggestions, like...
