The Princess Bride
Directed by Rob Reiner
1987
★ 7.5 editorial score
It barely registered in cinemas and built its whole following on video: pirates, giants, a six-fingered man, and a grandfather reading to a boy who does not want the story.
“'The Princess Bride'' has sweetness and sincerity on its side, and when it comes to fairy tales, those are major assets. It also has a delightful cast and a cheery, earnest style that turns out to be ever more disarming as the film moves along. Even the little boy, who's a tough customer, is eventually won over.”
