The Princess Bride
(1987)
Directed by Rob Reiner
this film based on the novel of the same name stars Cary Elwes, Robin
Wright and Peter Falk. A grandfather reads his sick grandson a book
about a princess and her husband to be.
Having something of a
reputation as a cult classic I was expecting a fair amount from this
film but it ended up falling a little short. What the film has going
for it is a silly sense of humour through out that just about carries
the film but the plot does not bare too much thinking about and
suffers from the princess being one of the most passive characters in
modern cinema. Some of the set and special effects look a bit ropey
at time as well which does not really help matters either.
2/5
