Anecdotes:

Director Rob Reiner left the set during Billy Crystal's scenes because he would laugh so hard that he would feel nauseated.

Goofs:

Continuity: In the Pit of Despair, Humperdinck stands beside Westley as he lies on the table before The Machine. The dual-ended hose on the suction cups strapped to Westley's chest are facing forwards, away from his shoulder. But in the next shot, when Humperdinck talks to Westley, the hoses are facing backwards, with the hoses facing his shoulder.

Fantastic and funny fairy tale

I love this movie! It's sweet, but with satirical humor. The dialogue is great and the adventure scenes are fun. Rob Reiner shows an excellent touch once again with comedy and a childlike point of view. It manages to be whimsical romantic while laughing at the conventions of the fairy tale genre. I would recommend it to just about anyone. I've seen it several times, and I'm always happy to see it again whenever I have a friend who hasn't seen it yet. I haven't watched it with any kids, but I think it has lots for them too. There are wonderful quotes throughout. I think Mandy Patinkin absolutely steals the scenes he is in as the Spaniard Inigo Montoya, bent on avenging his father's death. I gave it 8 out of 10 mainly because it feels very light, but I may go back and change to 9 thinking of how happy this movie makes me and it's rewatchability.
