Inconceivably good fun!

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2003)

I have a fond spot for this movie. Its gentle humour and simple values (and perhaps offputting title) combine to make a movie that just keeps going and going.
If you asked any person in the street to tell you what sort of film might star the diverse talents of Peter Falk, Fred Savage, Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin, Andre the Giant, Billy Crystal and Peter Cook, they might have a hard time coming up with an answer. I can't think of a more varied cast for any film.
If a film leaves you muttering some line of dialogue for days, or even weeks after you've watched it, then you know it must be pretty good. But when a film drags that same line out of you year after year after year, then you know it must be something special. You too will look incredulous when something goes wrong in your life and the word "Inconceivable!" will spring unbidden to your lips. Trust me, it happens.
Princess Bride is an action comedy that must be seen to be believed. There are no flashy special effects, no CGI. Just simple, honest comedy and action.
Strongly recommended.
