Beautiful, heart-warming, family movie; the fairytale to rival the best: timeless. Movie's are meant to transport us to another world. There are no divisions when we sit together and enjoy the small treasures in life. We love together and "The Princess Bride" gives us that gift of love from the very first scene with Peter Falk as the Grandfather helping occupy his laid up, but impatient grandson transcending generations with patience and small acts showing what love really is.

I have a close friend who absolutely hates this move. Each time I have quoted the movie in conversation; he gets upset. I have never been able to understand how someone could see past the genius of this film and only focus on the campy, silly, "art film" exterior. Robert Reiner created something from his heart and his experience. It is clear that this movie is truly his gift to us. A funny, campy, "art" film that is quotable and memorable as can be. This is one of my favorite films and it does not matter who loves or hates it. It is too good, and too excellent to not enjoy.... as we all wish.

Just about the perfect movie with a little bit of something for everyone, especially those with a depth of emotion and perspective: romance, bromance, comedy, action, adventure, world building, thoughtful dialogue, moving music...and it never takes itself too seriously while also taking itself entirely seriously. Hard to put this one in a box. Seen it at least 10 times, then just finally bought the digital copy. You want entertainment, you say? As you wish.
