Quoted from Shredso:I think the name "Princess Bride" really held this movie back. The people that know it love it. The people that don't figure it's a Hallmark movie or something. I'm shocked by how many people haven't seen it and again how many said it sounded dumb by the title alone.
I agree. The name alone would preclude buyers who suffer from toxic masculinity.
But hey, if the nerds can embrace Metallica and Iron Maiden, the jocks shouldn't rule out TPB just yet!
We went through this with, what was it, a Judy Garland vehicle not that long ago...
