Based on William Goldman's novel of the same name, The Princess Bride is staged as a book read by grandfather (Peter Falk) to his ill grandson (Fred Savage). Falk's character assures a romance-weary Savage that the book has much more to deliver than a simpering love story, including but not limited to fencing, fighting, torture, death, true love, giants, and pirates. Indeed, The Princess Bride offers a tongue-in-cheek fairy tale depicting stable boy-turned-pirate Westley's journey to rescue Buttercup (Robin Wright), his true love, away from the evil prince (Chris Sarandon), whom she had agreed to marry five years after learning of what she had believed to be news of Westley's death. With help from Prince Humperdinck's disgruntled former employee Miracle Max (Billy Crystal), swordsman Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin), and a very large man named Fezzik (Andre the Giant), the star-crossed lovers are reunited. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

I love how he asks all us working class people to give our money, who struggle to get by, yet you never hear how much cash he gives. He's a total ass wipe."
guitar.dude said "LOL@"politically involved quartet!" Yeah, wasting $40 million on a stage while every other African is dying is SO politically active. Bono is a hypocrite, a dickhead, an illiterate, stupid bully and a shameless fat lie. The other three are worthless as musicians and as human beings but at least they don't pretend to care about anyone or anything but money."
