One of the greatest family films ever made

Rating: 9/10 (30 November 2003)

This is a heartwarming comedy adventure. It begins as a typical child playing video games who gets visited by his Grandpa and gets told the story of The Princess Bride. The child hates the initial romance introduction, but grows to enjoy the story. Monty-Python-esque moments follow and the cast are brilliant, most significantly the late Andre The Giant and of course the hero Cary Elwes who played Wesley. These characters amongst others help drive the message home and do a great job of creating drama and tension and at the same time light-hearted quotes. Simply brilliant. They don't make them like this any more.
4/5
