The original, with all its imperfections, is the only movie I consider perfect. Yay, it holds a sacred post in the inner pantheon.
This, I confess, is the sweetest thing since sliced banana bread. Thank goodness for bored, homebound celebs.

It should go without saying this movie is for people who just absolutely love the original Princess Bride. If you love this movie, seeing it preposterously re enacted by various actors in their homes with ridiculous props is hilarious and endearing. If not: it won't even make any sense. I mean each main character from the movie is played by multiple people of multiple genders and races. Absolutely impossible to follow unless this is the 100th time you've seen this movie.
I could not wait to see my favorite scenes, every single one cracked me up. Bless whoever thought of doing this, and everyone who participated.

You couldn't ask for a better tribute to a movie so beloved. Ignore the few reviewers who took themselves and this movie too seriously. This is so much fun to watch. Just waiting for the next celebrity and/or their kids to show up in a scene is half the fun! But some of these folks did some amazing impressions of the original actors. Grab some popcorn, gather around with friends or loved ones and enjoy this hilariously campy, homemade, totally sweded pandemic project of pure joy, As You Wish!

I can't actually believe this is on the imdb, lol. But honestly, I just love the effort the actors put into this, along with the props, lol. It's really just a lot of fun. Amazing job to all and thank you to all involved!
I don't believe you'll find a negative review of "The Princess Bride Home Movie". As others have said, this was a surprise bit of joy in the middle of the pandemic.
I stumbled upon it through word of mouth. It's difficult to fine. Maybe it's still on YouTube?
The Princess bride home movie is a parity of the original movie. I remember it was during the pandemic so everyone was home and bored. You can't help but enjoy it for the cast of stars, if nothing else. Funny on many levels - classic irony. If you get it, you get it. If you don't - it can't be explained but even a non Princess Bride fanatic (if one exists) can still enjoy it.

I found this on Jenna Ortega's filmography and wondered what the heck it was with such a huge cast playing the same parts and then I found it! And I watched all of it in a sitting! This is the most adorable, home made movie with an allstar cast I've ever seen! If you can watch this and are a fan of Princess Bride please do yourself a favor and enjoy this tribute! As you wish!

I can't believe I've only just watched this. I can't wait to watch it again. Brilliant, funny, sweet, brilliant stay at home acting. Loved it.

Couldn't not give this a try, even though the idea holds little promise. The show starts with instructions to hold my phone sideways to view properly. What? I'm watching on my TV. Half of the actors are reading their lines, and there are multiple actors for the same character even within the same episode. Why? Why this disrespect to a classic movie? I was about to turn off the first episode before it was over, but then it just ended abruptly.
I also was upset to see this being remade. I love the move and didn't want it messed with. But this was so great I loved it. Everyone did such a great job I wish it was longer. I also love the idea of doing this to other films. I vote for Scarface. Thank you all for making me laugh.
I guarantee you will have to watch all the shows in one sitting. It's just that great.

This was fantastic. I wasn't sure what to expect going into it, but I didn't expect this. I can't wait to watch it again with my daughter.

I just stumbled upon this gem, which was PURE JOY at every moment for me; a die hard fan of the original film.
Some actors stayed so true to the original while others stylized their roles. The range of creativity was captivating. It was neat seeing some of the actors' homes as a bonus.
I saw a one-star review that said this parody ruins the movie for those who have not seen the original, and I would tend to agree that this is NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN THE ORIGINAL FILM!
It is definitely not something to watch until after you have fallen in love with the original Princess Bride.
Honestly, if you haven't seen that, you should watch it just to be able to enjoy this exceptionally well-done pandemic parody.
The Princess Bride is one of the classics containing all the best elements of story, so please do yourself a favor and watch it if you never have. Then come judge this adorable parody.

Absolute garbage.
Mostly grade B celebs don home made outfits and recite lines from a really great movie. Then said celebs vote 10 stars on the outcome, which apparently was shot on a cell phone.
You might think it would be cute as a little sketch, but believe me, it gets bad after about 30 seconds. I don't know what this is trying to be, some sort of message that you can have fun and "put on a show!" during a fauxdemic? Well, if you wondered what that would be like, here's your show.
Stream the real movie and enjoy. This isn't fun as a salute, a parody, or anything else. Completely unwatchable.

Don't touch Princess Bride. It's easily one of the best movies of all time. This series ruins the film for anyone who hasn't seen it. DO NOT WATCH THIS SHOW!!! Be for-warned.
