If I was stuck in a medieval love story, this would be the one

Rating: 9/10 (30 April 2002)

Witty, delightful, colorful, astounding, and endearing. For anyone who does not like this film, its clear you have nothing else to look forward to in life. Even after 15 years, I have yet to find a film that even closely resembles this classic. That's why it will have such staying power, a presence which one will remember and pass it on for others to see. The film was well cast, from Wallace Shawn to Billy Crystal, all the way down to Mandy Patinkin, Christopher Guest and Andre the Giant. Sadly, Cary Elwes proved to be his own demon by starring in some fairly horrid films after this feature, forever placing himself in the annals of B-stardom. Hopefully, this film does not fall into the doldrums of anonymity. If you haven't seen this film, go out and get the DVD. You won't regret it!
