Not part of a collection.
It's as real as the feelings you feel.
In this enchantingly cracked fairy tale, the beautiful Princess Buttercup and the dashing Westley must overcome staggering odds to find happiness amid six-fingered swordsmen, murderous princes, Sicilians and rodents of unusual size. But even death can't stop these true lovebirds from triumphing.

Not what it was supposed to be, based on how many times I've seen this movie mentioned over the years. I hadn't even realized I'd never seen it, but it really wasn't all that great. A few sets with light changing angle every few seconds, a mix of British and American accents, poorly written dialogue and acting, unidimensional characters. I wonder where all the "family fun" part of the movie resides. Would not recommend. And since this is a private review, this should not appear publicly on the movie page, right? Can't find any info about that...

Maybe not too surprisingly, a poorly young lad (Fred Savage) isn’t so keen on lying in bed being read a slushy romance about a princess by his granddad (Peter Falk) but he knows this book has been passed down through generations of the family and so decides to indulge the well-meaning gent. It doesn’t get any more scintillating for him when he is introduced to the lovelorn heroine “Buttercup” (Robin Wright) who has lost the love of her life “Westley” (Cary Elwes) and in return been saddled with the foppish “Prince Humperdinck” (Chris Sarendon). Fortunately for her, she is kidnapped by a rather un-intimidating band of felons led by “Vizzini” (Wallace Shawn) with the giant “Fezzik” (André René Roussimoff) and elegant swordsman “Montoya” (Mandy Patinkin) in tow, too. It turns out that they are all being pursued by the dastardly “Dread Pirate Roberts” who just happens to be the evil man who robbed her of her beloved “Westley”. Of course, when the prince finds out his betrothed has been abducted, he determines to fetch her back and so he employs the services of “Rugen” (Christopher Guest) to join this tale of pin the tail on the princess. The thing is, as we quite quickly discover - there has been quite a bit of misinformation spreading over the years and the young woman is in for quite a shock as her travels become less travails and more a triumph. Can she still manage to avoid becoming the princess bride though? I enjoyed this theatrically presented and colourful romp as it manages to mix elements of Gilbert and Sullivan with lots of swash and buckle, some genuinely entertaining pantomime-style villainy, loads of acrobatics and yes, even a slight soupçon of romance that could make the young reader (and us, too) cringe a little. Elwes and Wright work really quite well together, and with Roussimoff and Patinkin helping it to keep it’s magical tongue in it’s mystical cheek, the whole film is a rollicking good series of escapades and antics that just goes to show what can be done with some creative and imaginative production design, a lively and mischievous score and some talent in front and behind the camera who all seemed to be having a great time. Time has been kind to this, and those of us brought up on “Zorro” and C.S. Lewis with a bit of Errol Flynn thrown in too, ought to enjoy this. I did.

**The Princess Bride is truly a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that everyone can and should enjoy.** There is nothing quite like The Princess Bride. It’s classic, timeless, charming, clever, hilarious, well-done, and just an all-around excellent film. The Princess Bride is good, safe, fun for the whole family, filled with romance, adventure, comedy, fantasy, action, and heroism. It’s a film for everyone and can be enjoyed by all ages. This film stands as an icon because of its touching romance, hilarious satire, and unforgettable characters. If you haven’t seen this movie, do yourself a favor and watch it now!

The Princess Bride is ultimately a story of love - of a grandather for his grandson, of Inigo Montoya for his murdered father and between Buttercup and Wesley. It is an old fashioned fairy tale in a sense, but its imagination, wit and humour stands it apart from convention. The characters are endearing and essential to the plot. The pace of the film changes up and down beautifully throughout and the script is a joy, playing with words and ideas. Humanity prevails in this wonderous tale, I learnt plenty from it as a child and I still watch it from time to time to remind me of the goodness within us and the ability to triumph over adversity. The Princess Bride has a way of being traditional whilst challenging norms and that is why I will always love it. 10/10 for me. The only criticism I have is that it is too male centric as many films and series still are unfortunately. Although, saying that, Buttercup is much hardier than most princesses portrayed in children's films. This is a film that appeals to adults and children alike. Stop writing did you say? As you wish x
