A gleefully irreverent, holiday-themed action-comedy that wraps Deadpool's anarchic humor in a Princess Bride-inspired frame story, balancing crude jokes with genuine warmth and nostalgia.

A kidnapped Fred Savage is forced to endure Deadpool's PG-13 rendition of Deadpool 2, as a Princess Bride-esque story that's full of magic, wonder, and zero Fs.
