      As a kid I ignored anything with “princess” in the title. Now I’m too old to really enjoy it. I’ll watch it with my kids, I’m sure they’ll like it

        It’s a solid banger of a movie, do yourself a favor and give it a shot.

        Go into it with the mindset that it’s just a really well-done film and it’s certainly not perfect but in terms of pacing, acting, story, dialogue, and characters it really does most things right.

        I rewatched it recently and I remember some parts are a little cheesy and the synth soundtrack is a little wacky but it fits the time period it was made in.

        This is easily one of if not the only perfect movie. Watch it ssap. Watch some behind the scenes stuff, then watch it again and marvel at it.

        If you really don’t want to watch the movie, I’d say at least give the book a shot.

        Imo, and at the risk of sounding cliche, the book is better.

          I’m in my mid 30s and haven’t seen it. I’m not a film person at all but I’ll read the book now I know it was based on one! Thanks for the suggestion.

        Don’t get hung up on the word. Watch the movie and judge it from there.
