Story
Billy Crystal is 65, and he's not happy about it. With his trademark wit and heart, he outlines the absurdities and challenges that come with growing old, from insomnia to memory loss to leaving dinners with half your meal on your shirt. In humorous chapters like "Buying the Plot" and "Nodding Off," Crystal not only catalogues his physical gripes, but offers a road map to his 77 million fellow baby boomers who are arriving at this milestone age with him. He also looks back at the most powerful and memorable moments of his long and storied life.

It should be no surprise
It takes humans a long time to realize and admit that they need love- their own and other peoples. It also takes a long time for adults to admit they are still just children only in a bigger size. We all want bad things to become good, and this movie brings it together in a sweet and obvious way. It takes us a long time to admit that we want to feel good and we want the best in life- friendship, love, wrongdoings righted, and to see everyone happy. We are so tainted with violence and seeing distressing things in movies all the time now, but we are longing for the beautiful things that make us just feel good. Don’t be so surprised by being a good human. Thank you Kerry for shedding more light on it. Thank you Rob for having the guts to admit it and showing us it’s possible.

A nostalgic and heartwarming masterpiece
The Princess Bride has been interwoven throughout the last 25 years of my life in ways I can’t begin to describe. The iconic scenes, witty lines, wonderful characters, incredible directing, and the beautiful story as a whole are unmatched in recent cinematic history. This opportunity to hear behind-the-scenes tales of this beloved classic from the people themselves, (especially Cary Elwes), has been a delicious and incredibly heartwarming experience that I’ll never forget. I laughed, I cried, and I drank in every single word.

Wonderful
I’ve loved this movie since my first of many viewings. This book is a great accompaniment, to hear the bts stories of filming and in all the years since. It’s wonderful to hear from all involved how much they loved making the movie which has undoubtedly made it the enduring classic it has become.

So lovely! Really heartwarming!
The Princess Bride has long been a favourite of mine. It is an almost perfect movie (my only two complaints as a 7 year old girl watching it for the first time were why didn’t Buttercup hit the damn ROUS on the head when she had the chance, and why did she roll her eyes at Westley’s wry comments about the Fire Swamp. I never felt like she appreciated him as well as she should have.) And this was a delightful, moving trip down memory lane.
