The Princess Bride<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

This is the ultimate date flick.<\/p>\n

It’s full of romantic, girlie-girl, passionate stuff for her (or him).<\/p>\n

It’s full of swordplay and action for him (or her).<\/p>\n

And it’s full of wit, both subtle and over-the-top, for both of them.<\/p>\n

And only a cad would, at the end, not want to give his (or her) sweet babboo a big, long, kiss.<\/p>\n

Heck, you can even watch it when you parents are visiting. And the new DVD just out includes some keen new features.<\/p>\n

Rent it. Buy it. Watch it. Enjoy it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
