Both the book and movie are inconceivably well done (albeit in very different ways) and very funny (the movie won "Funniest Movie Ever" at The Sluggite Zone), as a sort of romantic-comedy-adventure. If this summary does not do The Princess Bride justice, then the sheer number of tropes named after lines from the movie should.
