The Princess Bride
Description
"One of the funniest and most charming comedies I've seen in a long time. Two big thumbs up!" —Roger Ebert, SISKEL & EBERT & THE MOVIES
"It's thrilling, exciting, very funny and absolute magic. Don't miss it!" —Joel Siegel, ABC-TV
Return to a time when men were men and swamps were swamps. Fire Swamps, that is. Full of quicksand and Rodents of Unusual Size. Lagoons were inhabited by shrieking eels. And the most beautiful woman in the world was named...Buttercup?
Well, it's a bent fairy tale. Complete with all the fencing, fighting, chases, escapes, and silly accents you'd expect.
Plus one or two things only Rob Reiner (director of "This is Spinal Tap", "Stand By Me") could dream up. Like Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin, "Yentl"), who has dreamt his whole life of finding the six-fingered man who killed his father. Wrestling star Andre the Giant as his enormous sidekick. And in scenes that are pure show biz bliss, Billy Crystal ("Running Scared") as the kvetching miracle man.
Blonde Buttercup loves Westley, a poor stable boy. But when he's captured by pirates, she's chosen by evil Prince Humperdinck to be his princess bride. Along the way, she gets kidnapped, he gets killed. But it all ends up okay.
