I love The Princess Bride. This is one of my all time favorite family movies. It has a whole lot of good actors, humor, action, and a fun and memorable story. Although the effects don't seem nearly as amazing today as they did when I watched this as a child it stills holds it's awe value.
When a sick boy is visited by his grandfather who offers to read him a book, hes not exactly pleased at the sound of it. He quickly changes his mind however when his grandfather starts reading it. While listening to his grandfather read they begin to see another world, a world of magic and adventure. In this world there is a lovely girl named Buttercup and her one true love Westley. When Buttercup gets news that Westley has been killed at sea while seeking fortune she swears never to love again. Then after some time passes Buttercup accepts a marriage proposal from the rich and handsome prince Humperdink, heir to the throne of Florin. What the princess doesn't realize though is that even death can't keep Westley away. A few years later Buttercup is kidnapped by an odd trio of men including a giant, an expert swordsman, and a brainiac and now its up to Westley to save her.
I'd definitely recommend this gem for all age groups. Young and old alike will get a lot of laughs out of The Princess Bride.
