Summary: You may THINK this is a kid's movie
Review: This is one of the funniest things that I have seen, ever. I am going to have to see it again just to catch the jokes that I missed due to the laughing.What is even funnier is seeing all the adults catch the more "mature" jokes that the kids miss. The kids are looking around at the adults and thinking we are watching a whole other movie. We are, and it was very funny.

Summary: LIKE COTTON CANDY
Review: Shrek was like cotton candy. Sweet, fluffy and cute. Jokes were funny, perfomances were adorable. I forsee a long, long future for legions of toys. But, there seemed to be something lacking between the voice work and the in-jokes about Disney. A fun film for children over 6 (some scary scenes including Mama Bear - of the three bears- being used as a rug). Eddie Murphy turns in a delightful performance. Cameron Diaz is slightly wooden. Mike Myers, well, he is Mike Myers. John Lithgow steals the movie when he can. A cute, but empty ride

Summary: Shrek - It's not just for kids!
Review: Shrek was very entertaining with great lines by Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy. It was so nice to take your kids to a movie where you weren't embarrased by blatant sex and violence. This is a movie the whole family can enjoy.

Summary: Hilarious
Review: I will probably go see this movie again, and for me that is very rare. I was laughing almost the entire time ... great for adults or kids. Very good satire!

Summary: Beauty is in the eye (and ear?) of the beholder?
Review: My 6-year old son loved it. I genuinely enjoyed it. Shrek offers stunning animation, interesting characters, engaging voices, a classic storyline, even a noble moral to the story. Why not a 5-star rating, then? Well, I don't consider myself a moralistic prude, but I honestly do not think that the nature and extent of flatulence and excrement-based humor is desirable in a movie directed at children, nor was it necessary for this story. Sure, I laughed at most of it, but why do people who obviously possess the tremendous creative capacity necessary to create a "Shrek" insist on stooping to the lowest forms of humor? I just don't get it. I didn't get it years ago when "Roger Rabbit" used jokes that took it out of the "kid pix" category for me and I don't get it now. Sorry. Shrek gets a 4 ... but could have been 10 minutes shorter, would have been far more suitable for children under 10, and would have earned an enthusiastic 5, if it had benefitted from a thoughtful edit that apparently never happened.

Summary: A hilarious *family* movie!
Review: When's the last time you took your kids to a movie, and enjoyed it as much as your kids? Well, actually, in the last couple of years, we've seen the dawn of a new era - family movies that the whole family enjoys! Other family movies may have more depth to their stories (Toy Story 1/2, Chicken Run) or more slam-bang action and adventure (Spy Kids), but nothing combines both of those with a near-overdose of hilarity like Shrek. I laughed so hard I cried, and the weird thing is, my wife and my 3, 6, and 9-year-old daughters were all hysterical at the same time! A smidgeon of "potty" humour for the kiddies, but done lightly enough that even the parents couldn't help laughing, plus enough farce and social satire to add really enjoyable depth to the slapstick (the Robin Hood / Riverdance / Bruce Lee / The Matrix sequence was inspired movie making!). Unlike the excrable Pokemon movies and their ilk, which I can't imagine anyone over the age of 12 enjoying *anything* about, I can't imagine anyone of any age *not* enjoying Shrek. Go see this movie! Take your kids! If they won't go, go yourself! It's that much fun.

Summary: Why say "damn"?
Review: I enjoyed this movie very much, as did my 7 year old. But Eddie Murphy does say some words I wish he hadn't. Shrek is NOT just a kids movie. Go see it!

Summary: Terrible content
Review: The computer animation is incredible; however, sadly the content was disgusting. Rude, crude, and completely unacceptable. We kept thinking it would get better. It never did. It's a shame that the writers couldn't elevate the content to the same level as the animation.

Summary: Funny and sweet
Review: A very funny fairy tale parody with a wonderful message -- real beauty is found within. Parents of small children beware -- this is definitely PG -- some body function humor, gingerbread man saying "eat me!", very veiled comments about a small man compensating for the size of his "sexual prowess", etc.
