Scaling the Cliffs of Insanity, Battling Rodents of Unusual Size, Facing torture in the Pit of Despair. - True love has never been a snap

A young boy (Fred Savage), bedridden with the flu, is less than thrilled when his grandfather (Peter Falk) arrives to read him The Princess Bride - a fairytale adventure passed on by grandfathers and fathers to their sons and grandsons, generation after generation. As this tale of true love unfolds, the boy is drawn into the wonders of the fairytale kingdom of Florin, the adventures of Buttercup (Robin Wright) - the most beautiful woman in the world - and Westley (Cary Elwes) - the man she loves. With an evil prince, three almost-evil henchmen, some killer rats, long lost loves returning from the dead, and a bit of torture, you couldn't possibly call THIS a kissing book!
