    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.

The pace of the film changes up and down beautifully throughout and the script is a jo…

    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 rec…
