Extra Credit- The Princess Bride

Princess Bride is a comedic take on classic fairy tale storyline.  Some action/ romance movies come off as cheesy when they are supposed to be taken seriously.  The film plays off of those typical scenarios, and over exaggerates the reactions.  The over-all feel is serious, but the content of the dialogue is not.  A person is expecting a heart-warming love tale, and is happily delivered a comedy.  My favorite character, though a small part, was the priest. I love when big name stars do cameos. This type of humor can be seen in a lot of 80’s comedy.  The 80’s sure did love their spoofs, and they did them well.
