While home sick in bed, a young boy's grandfather reads him a story called The Princess Bride.
Ambitiously tongue-in-cheek, but quite dated fantasy has some nice sequences; however, the humor is rather stale.
Halliwell*: "Rather strained fantasy with occasional bright moments."
Maltin**1/2: "Revisionist fairy tale/adventure...Some wonderful scenes and character vignettes are periodically undermined by a tendency toward comic shtick...and occassional incoherency...Best of all: the swashbuckling sequences."
