EXCELLENT!!! THE PRINCESS BRIDE is one of my personal favorite all around movies. It has a great plot, beautiful photography, humor, both outright funny scenes, subtle humor and slapstick. The movie is appropriate for all ages. My children and I use some phrases from the Princess Bride at different times when we are having fun or engaged in serious competetive play. Watch it and you will want this for your own media library. It is great fun!
A wonderful movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat with lots comedy. I rate this movie a 5 star, excellent. This movie is great for the whole family. A true classic that you can watch over and over.
We suggest this film to be a part of anyone's library. The acting is supberb, as is the directing. A wonderful tell that teaters the boundary of farce and seriousness well.
One of the best movies EVER!! It has it all - action, comedy, romance, etc. I must be getting old because I truly believe they just don't make them like this anymore.
love that you can sit down and watch with your kids, good family time entertainment, not many non cartoon movies out these days the whole family can enjoy.
The Princess Bride - This movie snuck up on me. This was so funny and I had heard nothing about it when I saw it, so I was pleasantly surprised. You will crack up when you see this, trust me, buy this movie!
i bought it because it is one of my fav movies, i also wanted to know what the speical features whas like. The movie was new so it was in good shape, and the special features were pretty good.

Princess Bride: A Movie I've Loved to Introduce My Parents To
Review created: 02/14/03

Pros: funny and refreshing
Cons: a single word that makes it unusable at school
Mom and Dad gave me a love for old movies. I love black and white films. I love Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy and the Marx Brothers. Of course, not everything from the "golden age" of Hollywood was golden. There were plenty of clunkers, too. Today also, a huge number of clunkers come out. Every so often, however, there is gold. The Princess Bride is a sample of the gold that still shows up occasionally. To my surprise, I found out recently that my parents had never seen the movie. We rectified that quickly and they both loved it. The movie is framed by the story of a grandson (Fred...

The Princess Bride- A Classic For Every Age
Review created: 05/24/01
by: ImAmes -- a member of Epinions
Pros: Fun for all ages to watch.
Cons: None
I have seen the Princess Bride more times than I can remember, having first seen it in Junior High in the Theaters, then on video with dates, and now with my own children on a rainy afternoon. This movie has everything- comedy, love, triumph, and failures. All of them lead to the dreamy idea of wide-eyed girls of princes saving them, and sealing it with none other than that perfect kiss. Let me take you on an Adventure of a lifetime, and let me prove to you why this should be in YOUR video library! First off, this movie has an incredible cast of talented Actors and Actresses. I would like to..

Fairy Tales are no longer boring!!
Review created: 02/18/07
by: captaind-- a member of Epinions and Top Reviewer in Movies
Pros: Brilliant performances, especially Elwes and Patinkin, great story, very, very funny...
Cons: ... well... not any I can think of right now...
The Princess Bride is a classic movie in so many ways that have already been explained before that perhaps I won t even bother telling you about them. Then again maybe I will. Basically this is a fairy tale, being told by a grandpa (wonderfully played by Peter Falks [Columbo]) to his sick grandson (Fred Savage [The Wonder Years]). This isn t a film about Pater Falks reading a story of course, the story he is telling comes to life. There are so many superb performances that it s difficult to know which to highlight, but Cary Elwes [Robin Hood, Men In Tights] as the hero of the piece a young...

Pros: Sheesh, where should I start?
Cons: If this movie has any real flaws, they're buried under all the good stuff.
Hoo boy, this should be tough. Not one day removed from my "Goonies Gushing" I am now compelled to review yet another of my all-time favorite movies. But while The Goonies is a slight, sloppy and addictively entertaining adventure, The Princess Bride is something considerable more than that: The Princess Bride is the finest family movie produced since The Wizard of Oz. (OK, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory falls into this very exclusive category also.) Widely adored yet somehow still dismissed as a "cinematic trifle", The Princess Bride is quite simply one of the most entertaining films..
