				Why watch this? 
				... True 'tis a fairy tale, but it's laced with wisdom adults 
				will enjoy. 
				Plot Summary: 
				The story unfolds as a grandfather reads a fantastical tale to 
				his sick grandson about a beautiful woman named Buttercup and 
				her true love, Westley. After Westley is believed lost at sea, 
				Buttercup is unwillingly betrothed to the nefarious Prince 
				Humperdinck. However, Buttercup is kidnapped by a trio of 
				outlaws, but is relentlessly pursued by a mysterious man in 
				black and Humperdinck himself, leading to a series of unexpected 
				encounters and adventures. Dad's Preview: 
				This wonder found me late in life, and long after its theatrical 
				debut. I could not believe how much I loved what I thought would 
				be somehow childish. It's directed by Rob Reiner, and has an 
				almost Monty-Python-esc feel to it. Kids will love it, but 
				there's a lot of intelligent wit, too. Each scene is memorable 
				including small cameos from Billy Crystal and Wallace Shawn. 
				And be sure to keep an eye out for the R.U.S.'s!
