This week are final films that we watch two very good movies that are comedy’s that are close to being legendary, The Princess Bride and Ferris Bueler’s Day Off. The Princess Bride is such a well rounded comedy that delivers entertainment that any one can enjoy. Wallace Shawn is brilliant early in the film with ramblings and monologs that have well delivered humor. When he see Andre the Giant in the film you don’t necessarily think that he would add much to a film that is a comedy, but when Vizzini tells him to jump in the water to go after the Princess Buttercup and he tells him that he only dog paddles it is hard not to picture a seven foot over four hundred pound man trying to dog paddle that is comedy that you and you don’t even see that.
Count Tyrone has such a claim and disturbed way of delivering his character that both twisted and hilarious at the same time. When he is torturing Wesley it is hard not see the humor in the fact the he ask for feedback on the machine so he can improve the results.
I feel that the relationships with the boy played by Fred Savage and his grandfather plays a big in the story and how it unfolds even though they are only in about fifteen minutes but it help the audience see the movie through the eyes of young boy.
Finally you can not do a review on this film without discussing Miracle Max play by Billy Crystal with is random banter and his off topics comments add just that little extra to complete such a well rounded film.
