Critic Reviews
-
Variety Staff, Variety
Based on William Goldman's novel, this is a post-modern fairy tale that challenges and affirms the conventions of a genre that may not be flexible enough to support such horseplay.
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Rob Reiner's friendly 1987 fairy-tale adventure delicately mines the irony inherent in its make-believe without ever undermining the effectiveness of the fantasy.
-
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Since its release more than 15 years ago, The Princess Bride has often been copied, but never equaled.
-
Janet Maslin, New York Times
This material might easily have lent itself to broad parody or become too cute for its own good. But Mr. Reiner presents it as a bedtime story, pure and simple.
-
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Bride achieves much more than most film comedies.
