The Princess Bride (Rob Reiner, 1987)

13 November 2007

Today in Slant Magazine: Rob Reiner's The Princess Bride wasn't so much the firework lighting up the sky as the flop on the sidewalk, in danger of still going off, when it came out in theaters 20 years ago. Reiner and writer William Goldman's love story of a farm boy-turned-swashbuckling hero, the princess he rescues from an arranged marriage, and the friendships and revenges the two encounter along the way has not lost a glimmer of its shine, and is all the better now for the time it took to ignite.
