A short review and commentary.

Rating: 9/10 (22 September 1998)

The Princess Bride is a wonderful tale of True Love and True Adventure, as told by a grandfather (Peter Falk) to a sick grandson (Fred Savage). It does not take long for the viewer to become invested in the characters, and our frustration when things don't seem to work out the way we expect them to is ably voiced by the sick grandson, who exclaims "Grandpa, you're messing up the story".
The beautiful Buttercup has lost her true love Westley and seems fated to marry the evil Prince. Will her True Love come and save her? Will Grandpa get the story right?? And will there be any kissy scenes?
An epic tale of Pirates, Giants, Princesses and Miracles, The Princess Bride will be equally enjoyed by viewers of all ages.
