Is there anyone who doesn’t light up a little about this movie? Part fairy tale, part meta-comedy, Rob Reiner’s take on William Goldman’s story of farm boys, princesses, pirates, and giants still delights with its wry wit and flashes of genuine pathos. Secret MVP: Robin Wright Penn, who makes something really hard look easy. -Lee Gardner
1987 Dir. Rob Reiner 1.85:1 Color DCP 98 min.
