- #1October 4, 2017"The Princess Bride is a classic for a reason: it has humor, romance, swashbuckling action and a sweet message that many kids will enjoy again and again. It has a certain sense of meta-humor throughout the narrative--particularly when it goes back to showing the grandfather reading the book to his grandson, who starts out skeptical of any book with the word "princess" in it but ends up being engrossed by the end-which will be a hit with the older kids. Younger kids will enjoy the fantasy style adventure, although they may be a bit bored by the romance storyline or scared by certain thrilling sequences. Still, with some parental guidance, the film is something all kids should watch."

No cheap anniversary text on the cover, like the 25th Anniversary Edition. Much more attractive than the foolishly short run of the Eastman (I believe) edition. I just missed that one and it shot up in price, nonsensically. A blessing in disguise. This one is far superior."

We watched it together last weekend and why she loved it and wont stop quoting it, I didn't like it much. I thought the acting was sub-par and the story was predictable."
