Classic Movie Wednesday #6 Princess Bride

Princess Bride Movie Review

This movie is just one of those films that you have to see  to believe. Just from looking at the poster of this film you would guess it is a romance film but you would be wrong it is in fact a comedy. This movie basically makes fun of fairy tales the entire time. This movie is extremely quotable and will have you laughing from beginning to end. One of the main things this film has going for it is comedic timing. These actors have a great chemistry and the jokes flow together so well. The actors really are taking their lines like they are in a serious film which is what makes it so great. None of them laugh during a joke and take every line as if they were actually living in this world. Now in order to understand the jokes in this film your should probably think about does movies like Spaceballs make me laugh. If so minus the sexual jokes this movies is just like it. One thing that surprised me about this film was Andre the Giant his character was one of the funniest. My main concern with him was that his voice is hard to understand but I could understand him perfectly. Also Mandy Patinkin character " who is shown in the picture above" was my favorite character in this film he was funny from beginning to end. The plot of this film is actually pretty complex for a fairy tale, but I'm only going to say its good because I don't want to pre blow your mind. One thing this film is missing would be a Heman joke or two. I have the power!!!!!!! The power to do what exactly? Stop a lame villain, yes you Heman yes you do. In conclusion Princess Bride is one of those comedies you have to see before you bite the dust. When you watch this film you will realize just how ignorant those fairy tales really are. Seriously, a girl who falls into a coma and is suddenly woke up by a strange man in her room kissing her. Please don't make a live action movie for that Snow White and the Huntsman was a semi success or as I call it Thor origins but that doesn't mean all of them could be. So Princess Bride gets a 7 out of 10. Honestly you should stop what ever you are doing and find this movie its inconceivable that most of America hasn't seen it.
