Yet for all the movie’s merits, this specific review of The Princess Bride is but an indirect result of the film adaptation. A near perfect film from script, direction, casting, art-style to, most likely, the catering that the actors were served.An ol’ time classic with fun for the entire family is memorable. I’ll proceed under the premise that it is not possible to bypass the movie and get out of the way the mandatory praise that Robert Reiner’s film deserves. ( Editorial note: It got me here, didn’t it?). So, in a last-ditch attempt to get this off the ground, I’ve decided to start the post posing the question to what I consider partial success. The still short, but much more contextual, answer is: I don’t know, but I’ve trying to start this text for the past twenty minutes, and with every failed hyperbolic statements towards the movie, I’ve grown more frustrated and inept with my writing. How do you write a book review of The Princess Bride without addressing the cultural significance of its beloved movie adaptation? You had to admire a guy who called his own new book a classic before it was published and anyone had a chance to read it.
