Synopsis

Our take

With delightful performances and more quotable dialogue than you can shake a sword at, this is a fairy tale that no one should grow out of. Paying homage to the genre with tongue-in-cheek irony, The Princess Bride lovingly refreshes old tropes and delivers a story of swooning romanticism.
