Summary: Shrek-the best animated film EVER!
Review: This is the best animated film I've ever seen. It is great for both parents and kids ala Alladin with Robin Williams. Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy are extremely funny.

I will see this more than once which I normally don't do, especially for an animated film. If you have kids age 5+, you MUST take them to this movie-it will be great for both the parent and the child.

Summary: ROLLING ON THE FLOOR
Review: Hilarious movie! You'll laugh all the way through. Eddie Murphy as the Donkey--EXCELLENT. Mike Meyers great also. Not too sure about Cameron Diaz tho. When I saw the ad for the movie a few months ago, the animation seemed alittle creepy, but when I took the kids, it was actually really cool computer graphics. Everyone in the theater laughed the entire time. Funnier than Toy Story, Bugs, Ants put together.GO SEE IT!

Summary: Why did they have to do that?
Review: I watched this movie with a group of children this week and I would like to know why they had to add in the swear words, disgusting bodily functions and sexual references in what otherwise would have been a fantastic 5 star children's movie? I was completely disappointed. It is a great story and is done well, but unfortunately they ruined a fantastic movie with some inappropriate words and actions.

Summary: Computer animation at its best!
Review: Shrek was one of the best movies I've seen this year. Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy were hilarious. The story was an original idea. This was a movie that parents could love and kids could enjoy. Go see it!!

Summary: Shrek causes shrieks of glee
Review: Sitting in the theater, I watched my 6 1/2 year old nephew eat up the bright colors and classic sight gags, while I watched my 25 year old fiancee almost spill his popcorn laughing at the exact same joke. What I really liked about this movies was that duality-that one set of lines can be almost making me wet my pants while the more innocent version is keeping the little guys and gals glued to the screen. I found it to be reminiscent of the first Toy Story and the underlying message is easy for kids of all shapes and sizes to understand without being so cookie cutter sweet and sappy. Score for the big green guy. I'd take him home.

Summary: Destined to become a classic
Review: It's the best animated film produced yet; a treat for kids and adults. It's a sure bet to become a DVD best seller.

Summary: A wonderful surprise--but not for little ones!
Review: Shrek is a WONDERFUL surprise--especially for adults. It is so good you'll forget you're watching animation. The jokes are hilarious and they poke fun at many fairy tales and conventions of society.

A word of warning however: some of the humor and language is a bit edgy--much like the Simpsons on TV. Nothing too bad here, but the way little ones repeat words they hear, you may want to view it before they do to see if you're comfortable with them seeing it. But even if they don't go, you're sure to love the lovable Shrek!

Summary: Cute, but doesn't stay with you
Review: Shrek is a very cute movie. Contrary to what I've heard others say though, I don't think it is a movie for kids and adults. This is a movie for kids only. There are a few occasions of language that could be considered inappropriate for children (something that was a problem in Dreamworks' Antz as well - why are they afraid to make a straight forward kids' movie?), but the movie isn't satisfying for adult tastes. First let me say what was good: Eddie Murphy stole the movie flat out. His performance was perfect! Cameron Diaz was very good as Princess Fiona. The animation is excellent, rivaling that of Disney/Pixar's Bug's Life. Now what isn't all that good? John Lithgow and Mike Meyers both seem out of place in their character's bodies - I couldn't think of them as anyone other than themselves. The story is very shallow - typical animated fair - it didn't have the depth for an adult audience. The humor - quite frankly I didn't think the movie was that funny. I laughed in a few places, but mostly just grinned, and quite a few of the jokes fell flat. The Matrix joke with the princess is an obvious example; it seemed dated in the commercial, and is even more out of place in the scene its in. There are some holes in the story toward the end that have bothered me more and more since leaving the theater - where did the fairy tale people go when they left the swamp? Farquad obviously had something nasty up his sleeve but we never find out what ( was this trimmed for time?), and how did the gingerbread man get one of his legs back? and why not both? I admit these are minor points, but they've just been bugging me. All in all, I highly recommend Shrek for kids, but if you are not an animation fan and don't have kids, don't bother - there isn't enough here to keep an adult audience satisfied.

Summary: Gotta See Shrek
Review: This is one funny movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot stress it enough that you gotta go see it. Eddie Murphy is great as the voice of Donkey. This movie also bashes the dominating world of Disney thanks to Jeffery Katzenberg. It also parodies The Matrix, Crouching Tiger, and Robin Hood. This movie will also remind you of The Naked Gun spoofs. Trust me, you will have a great time seeing this film like I did.
