Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is reviewing something

While browsing Amazon for a region 2 version of The Princess Bride, this review stood out:

I rented this because it got such good reviews, but oh dear…. My eleven-year-old twins wanted to know when the fighting would begin, they found the constant swopping back to the little boy with his grandfather deeply annoying, and their attention definitely wandered. I have to say I found it an incredibly long film. Yes, there were moments of humour – which my twins enjoyed – but that ratty creature…. Talk about naff special effects, and – plot spoiler here – my twins were disgusted that the villain didn’t die. Not a film we’d ever want to watch again.

The comments on the review are worth the price of admission…
