Don't let the title scare you off guys

Rating: 10/10 (16 October 2002)

I had a bit of a hard time getting my friends to watch this movie. What self respecting dude would watch a movie called "The Princess Bride" with his buddies? Well let me tell you I have yet to meet someone who has seen this movie and didn't love it. A great comedy with so much fun, laughter, action, and touching in just the right spots. The power of "true love" may be the driving force for the characters in the movie, and probably what some women viewers would focus on (hint to guys, rent this with your girl and you'll get points for the romance and it'll actually be a movie you'll enjoy. What can I say chicks dig the whole fairy tale aspect, and you'll like everything else). The comedy, characters, and even some action are what make this a movie for everyone. This is a fantasy and comedy period. But who says a comedy can't touch your heart in just the right amount ... a swordsman spending his life avenging his fathers murder, a grandfather (played perfectly by Peter Faulk) comforting his sick grandchild,and of course the power of "true love". Long live the dread pirate Roberts.
