    A Warm and spirited retelling of the book. Ultimately the book fairs better in creating an epic tone, but the movie's comic, almost camp charm is a treat.

    Not my favorite movie, yet in my opinion, the perfect movie. Virtually perfect blend action, comedy, guys stuff, and chick flick stuff.

    A classic movie with classic performances and screenwriting. I don't know anyone who does not enjoy it.

    I've seen the beginning of this movie, and as it's... pretty weird, I'm gonna have to read the book before watching the entire thing.

    A man visits his sick grandson to read to him the story of 'The Princess Bride'- the tale of farmboy Westley and his infatuation with Buttercup, the simple-minded beauty who eventually catches on and immediately loves him back, naturally. When parted by pirates and presumptions, the two are sucked into an adventure involving fireswamps, evil plots, kidnappers, miracles and of course, 'the machine'. This is a near perfect movie, starring such legends as Cary Elwes, Christopher Guest and Chris Sarandon, who all bring so much to their already fantastic characters. The script is faithfully based on the novel and is therefore endlessly quotable, painfully witty and just completely priceless. The best adventure story ever, and easily one of the greatest movies of all time. Totally charming, rewatchable and flawlessly directed...
