An enjoyable FAIRYTALE

Rating: 8/10 (16 March 2019)

The Princess Bride is a cult classic that came out in 1987 and stars Cary Elwes and Robin Wright and tells the story of a farmboy named Westley and a princess named Buttercup who fall in love with each other but a Prince played by Chris Sarandon) wants to marry her which leads to both Buttercup and Westley to be apart from each other until a few years later when he goes incognito as a pirate boy(like Zorro) and saves Buttercup.
Will Westley save her ? Overall this film knows exactly that it's a silly fairy tale with swashbuckling rogues, princesses, evil dwellers all the charcthers that you see in a fairy tale movie. Funny thing thought is that the story is been told by an elderly man played by Peter Falk to his grandson played by Fred Savage. The film is so popular it even got spoofed in Deadpool 2 with Fred Savage reprising his role who is held hostage by Deadpool. Even Ella Enchanted is quite similar too.
If you are looking for a feel good fairy tale then do check this one out. Keep an eye out for Billy Crystal who is unreconisable under prosthetics along with Carol Kane.
8/10
