The Princess Bride is the best!
This is my all time favorite movie (though the book is even better!) This movie has it all, love and romance, giants and strange creatures, swordfighting, comedy and tragedy, wonderful costumes, beauty and ugliness, lots of famous actors, clever dialog, and a great ending. It's a movie for the whole family. I'd recommend this movie to anyone and have bought it for other people.

Sweet and insanely funny
It's got Adventure, Dread Pirates, Revenge, and True Love, and tounge firmly in cheek. It's a swashbuckler in the classic form: lovers are separated and rejoined, evil is overcome, and there are some good laughs at just about every step.

The characters are good. Andre the Giant does a convincing job as a giant, Billy Crystal has a brief role as a gnomish wizard, and Wallace Shawn is over the top as an evil, egotistical nebbish. The others are good, especially the doughy Albino, but Cary Elwes makes the staring role his own. His rubbery "mostly dead" performance is not to be missed.

This is a good one, mostly kid-safe, but nervous little ones might have trouble with a few scenes.

This movie sucks and I mean it...anyone want a peanut
When this movie begins a young boy is concerned that this movie is a kissing movie. But he is assured it is not by his grandpa. Unfortunately the granpa is wrong, this movie is undoubtedly "a kissing movie". That is just one of the many problems witht the movie. Most importantly there is the pathetic supposed to be funny but greatly failing humor and script. This includes the very annoying line. "no more rhyming I mean it! Anyone want a peanut?" I mean seriously that is not funny. There is also the horrible effects. It is amazing that this movie was made in 1987 because I would have guessed it was made in 1960. Between mechanical rodents, kissing, kissing, kissing, peanuts, and Indigo Montoya's fathers death this movie is bad.
