Review – The Princess Bride

Yeah, I know it’s a juvenile movie. It’s goofy. It’s sentimental. It’s a lot of fantasy silliness. It’s extremely sexist. Parts of it are annoying (I worked with a guy back when this was in theaters who would wander around the office repeating “Hello my name is Inigo Montoya you killed my father prepare to die” over and over again). But despite all that, I really like this film. There’s just something charming and disarming about the simple characters and straightforward plot. I wouldn’t hold it up as a shining example of cinema art, but it’s a good way to spend a couple of pleasant hours on a quiet Saturday afternoon. Worth seeing
