One of Reiner's most entertaining films, effective as a swashbuckling epic, romantic fable, and satire of these genres.

Based on William Goldman's novel, this is a post-modern fairy tale that challenges and affirms the conventions of a genre that may not be flexible enough to support such horseplay.

Rob Reiner's friendly 1987 fairy-tale adventure delicately mines the irony inherent in its make-believe without ever undermining the effectiveness of the fantasy.
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Chicago Reader
One of the Top films of the 1980s, if not of all time. A treasure of a film that you'll want to watch again and again.
Clint Morris
Moviehole
An effective comedy, an interesting bedtime tale, and one of the greatest date rentals of all time.

The lesson it most effectively demonstrates is that cinema has the power to turn you into a kid again. As we wish.
