So when my sister Landen mentioned that she was reading As You Wish about the making of The Princess Bride, written by Cary Elwes who plays Wesley, I was immediately interested.Īnd she also mentioned that, although she was reading a print copy, she’d heard the audiobook was stellar and read by a bunch of the cast members. Nevertheless, everyone else’s enthusiasm won out and we piled into my aunt and uncle’s master bedroom and popped in the VHS.Īnd, of course, I loved the movie and, like probably millions of other families, it became part of our family lexicon (when my dad gave my graduation speech, it included multiple lines from The Princess Bride). One of my character flaws is that I’m inclined to believe I won’t like any movie or show before watching it, and I was pretty sure I wouldn’t like this one. I remember visiting my cousins in Washington State for a week when I was a kid, and one afternoon they suggested we watch it. If you grew up in the 80s or early 90s, it’s pretty likely you’ve seen (and loved) The Princess Bride.
