Description
Director Rob Reiner breathes vividly colored cinematic life into William Goldman's THE PRINCESS BRIDE, effectively evoking the wondrous, wide-eyed spirit of the witty 1973 novel. When a sick boy (Fred Savage) receives a visit from his doting grandfather (Peter Falk) who intends to read to him from his favorite book, he's not exactly pleased to be extracted from his world of video games. However, his mood quickly changes as he, along with the viewer, is transported to a place out of time--to Florin, a kingdom in the ultimate imaginary land, complete with dashing heroes, cowardly princes, rhyming giants, shrieking eels, rodents of unusual size, fancy swordfights, and yes...even some kissing.The lovely Buttercup (Robin Wright) learns that "As you wish" really means "I love you" when she falls for her charming farmhand, Westley (Cary Elwes). While trying to seek his fortune, however, Westley disappears at sea, an apparent victim of the Dread Pirate Roberts, who takes no prisoners. A few years later, Buttercup, engaged to the oily Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon), is kidnapped by an oddball trio of rogues--brains, Vizzini (Wallace Shawn); brawn, Fezzik (André the Giant); and sword, Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin in a standout performance). As they sail away toward the Cliffs of Insanity, they notice the pursuit of a man in black...and the adventure begins. A clever fairy tale for all ages, THE PRINCESS BRIDE is arguably one of the funniest and most entertaining films of all time.

I never get tired of watching this incredibley unique movie. Great cast, great story, great dialogue. Highly recommended.
Princess Bride is a fun movie and definately entertaining, but GREAT! Hello, you people have LOW expectations. It's simple entertainment, nothing else. Doesnt challenge much.
I absolutely loved this movie. Plot - mmm, not much. Basically Prince Humpardink is after Princess Buttercup ( great names ). And there is a lot of fantasy from there on. Like the ROUS ( rodents of unusual size ) etc. Acting??? - Decent but that is as far as you can go with that. However we do get to see 1 1/2 hours of Robin Wright Penn, and that makes it all worth it. ;-), actually this is a...
Lovely, the only true fairy tale ever filmed. Great acting and great editing, which, in a movie is half the film. Nice humour and a truly magic quality that autoiroby enhances rather than diminish.
The Princess Bride is such a cute movie. It reminds me of my grandfather, he would always read fairytales to me. All of the cast was wonderful. Every child should see this movie. As Wesley would say "AS YOU WISH".
Me big tough man, but Princess Bride make me cry. It was grouse at the the time of its release and its grouse now. My name is Inigo Montario, you killed my father prepare to die.
Rob Reiner hit it big when he directed Stand By Me, so he wanted to do a comedy that would entertain us. He spoofed fairy tales and stuff like that, and hit it lucky when he directed The Princess Bride. Billy Crystal was so, so funny as the elf, and Fred Savage was so cute in it.
The best work Fred Savage ever did.
Funny movie. Best seen with a friend (the more people the better). Favorite scene: I. Montoya with Count Drugen at the end.

I thought I would never find anybody who didn't love this movie but then came my brother-in-law I guess he just doesn't like fairy tales. If you require intense serious dialogue and plot schemes this isn't the movie for you. However if you have an imagination and are young at heart you would think this was one of the top ten movies you've ever seen. Swashbuckling, pirates, R.O.U.S., a beautiful...
