DVD Review: Princess Bride

For an avid fan of romantic movies, and for the very idea that even though it's been out since 1987 and for the very idea that I even used to play Storybook Love on Sunday Nite Softly on KQ and ultimately for the very fact that I know more than a few people who have similar movie likes/dislikes that list this as one of their favorite romantic movies...yes, I admit that it was until tonight, that I have never seen Princess Bride.

So there are a few learnings from this movie:

What is love and how is the bond of love built?  What would you do for love?  How much would you suffer? 

Chocolate coating makes things go down easier

I do not like large rodents.  Or creepy eels.

If you need to add humor to a situation try a rhyme like peanut.

When fighting in a swordfight, it's almost just as important to be able to do backflips and gymnastics as it is to fight with both hands.

Anyone can fall a giant and eventually he may work to save your life and fight for your true love.

Even if you think it may be over...it may not be.

I miss both of my grandpas.  Even if they never really told me stories, they did other things that made me know as a little girl that I was loved.  I wish I remembered more.

It's important to share stories with children and little boys should appreciate passion as much as the pirates.

Long live Wesley and Buttercup...and I'll use small words....love wins.

4 1/2 stars of 5.
