Was disappointed in the screen size for this viewing. It should’ve been bigger. But otherwise it was a lovely evening.
The movie was great of course. However, paying $80 per person to watch it on a 12 foot wide screen with 5000 other people was disappointing. For that kind of money it should have been a jumbo screen. Listening to Carey was fun and interesting. He spoke and answered questions for about 45 minutes.
Rewatching a classic film with a like-minded audience kindled love and excitement for the characters and the story. It was an incredible collective experience hearing so many people recite and laugh over iconic lines from the film. Separately, Cary Elwes was immediately charming and energetic. His tales concerning the filming, the mishaps, and the circumstances that surrounded the making of the film were refreshing and awe-inspiring. I was so happy to have been able to share this experience with my daughters as they are huge fans of the story as well.
First of all, the Chevalier Theater is a cool venue. We had decent seats, but tbh they all seemed fine. The movie is a cult classic for sure. Kennedy did a great job with Cary at the Q&A. And Cary did not disappoint. He was charming and generous, and gave some great behind the scenes info to a crowd that hung in every word. It was my first time seeing this movie and I’d definitely go to this kind of event again. Big thumbs up!!
The only downside was the VIP Meet & Greet instructions after the event were unclear. We were told to stay in our seats until further instructions were given, no one ever gave us details, and everyone eventually just lined up, but some direction would have been appreciated.
Have always loved the film. Seeing it on the big screen in a packed theater with others who equally love it was a treat. And having Cary Elwes do an audience Q&A after the screening was great fun. His insights and behind-the-scenes stories were both poignant and hilarious. Worth it!
A great night at Warner Theater watching The Princess Bride with other fansand getting to hear from and meet Westley himself Cary Elwes.
Loved the group atmosphere watching such an iconic movie (everyone chanting the famous lines!), and the discussion afterwards with Cary, and the meet & greet made my year!
This was to celebrate my husband and my 15th wedding anniversary. What a great time! The audience all loved the screening, and Cary Elwes was engaging, fun, and full of great tidbits about the filming. This was such a wonderful evening and could have listened to Mr. Elwes for hours more!
Obviously one doesn't go to this event unless you love the movie. And we love the movie. Getting to watch it with a large group was fun, and then the q & a with Cary Elwes was huge fun! If you love the movie, you would love this evening.
Cary was delightful and funny. His insights to the filming of the movie were great. If you are a fan of the movie, you will love this event.
It was a wonderul experience. Enjoyed watching the film with other fans. The Q&A session was great. The ticket prices were decent. The theatre allowed the purchase of food and beverage, and you could bring your purchases inside the theatre with you... not something you find alot at "stage" venues.
We had a wonderful time watching one of the best movies. Cary was gracious, friendly and funny. If anything could have imporved it would have been the venue letting us know what to expect in regards to lining up, time it would take, etc. However, the experience and evening was perfect regardless.
The movie is the cult classic, that’s established. Seeing it with wholly appreciative was amazing. Cary’s stories were amazing, funny and engaging. If I were to issue a complaint, it’s that the show ran well last 11pm. Not that I have a bedtime, but the parking garages do - and we were warned by a theater employee to be prepared. An earlier start time would be appreciated so we don’t have to worry about parking issues.
I was with family and we loved seeing the movie on the big screen! Mr Elwes was funny and engaging in relating his memories. We also did the meet and greet and while these are always short they did give enough time for a quick meeting and he was friendly and very sweet!
Without any real details about the night I made some assumptions about what would happen. I thought maybe he would come out initially and talk about the making of the movie or other interesting fact that wasn’t in his book. Thought maybe he would do a commentary as the film played interjecting interesting stories or little known facts. Nope, they just rolled the film and played it all with the crowd quoting all of the lines along with the actors on screen. (Very Rocky Horror kind of thing) Cary came out for a Q&A session for about 30 minutes after the movie which was interesting, but again I just expected more and found the audience questions to be uninteresting. Still I am a huge fan of the movie and the actor. If you are looking for true insight about the movie, buy his book.
I wasn't sure what to expect but loved seeing the Princess Bride on the big screen in a historical landmark. The venue was beautiful. I was also only expecting about 4 - 5 fan questions that were carefully selected. I was happy to see that they got through nearly the entire box of questions and very few were skipped over. Cary Elwes is as entertaining off screen as he is in his funny roles on screen.
We went to this for my birthday and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better birthday! It was so awesome to watch the movie on the big screen and hear all of Cary’s stories. He is hilarious! I wasn’t sure what to expect when meeting him but he was the nicest person ever. And the fact that he wished me a happy birthday was really the icing on cake and will hold that memory for years to come. Thank you for an amazing night!
This is Nirvana for Princess Bride fans. Watching the movie in a massive theatre, cheering for our heroes and booing Prince Humperdink, then listening to Cary Elwes talk about making the movie. Enchanting.
The show itself was amazing. We did a viewing of the Princess Bride and Cary came out and answered some questions from the audience. We paid extra for meet and greet tickets and as we were heading out to meet him we were told that a mask, vaccine card or a proof of negative test was required. We had none of those things on us. We were treated rather rudely and was told that five emails went out about it, but there was nothing posted on the event and I received no emails about it from the event hall or ticketmaster. We we unable to do the meet and greet.
