Summary: Kids? Adults? Everyone!
Review: Good day, people! Well, I saw this movie last night, opening night, here in lovely old Seattle, Washington. I went in expecting a moderately funny kids show, but let me tell you, that is NOT what I saw.This show starts out funny, and only gets better. Yes, it is an animation, full of Disney characters, but this movie reaches out to all ages in many ways. First and foremost, the animation and Disney characters and childish plot (save the princess!) will appeal to kids. The references to other movies, the very NON-standard way they go about things, and the other adult jokes that kids will miss... those will appeal to adults. I highly recommend that anybody interested go see this movie. It teaches a good lesson for kids, but the teaching isn't so overbearing as to make adults cringe and say, "Yeah, it's for kids."

Summary: Great for all!
Review: There were 5 of ages 4-44 and we all loved it. The characters were fantastic and the music was great. We can't wait to see it again.

Summary: Funny but slow Story
Review: I enjoyed the movie for it's short funny moments. Overall the movie lacked a strong story line. The kids will love it, and the adults will probably love the short funny moments. Everything moved along so fast that before I was able to enjoy the story line it was over.

Summary: This movie really looks stupid.
Review: I hate the animation. It looks so video gameish to me. The plot will insult both parents and kids alike.

Summary: This is no Toy Story
Review: The computer animation is spectacular -- the writing is not. Eddie Murphy plays Eddie Murphy in this inconsistent and easily forgotten collage of pop culture references and bathroom humor. Parents may find the language, humor, and innuendos in this movie inappropriate for young children.

Summary: Best Movie of 2001
Review: Excellent animation, wonderful story, and superb voice characterizations make SHREK the best movie of 2001, at least so far. John Lithgow gives Lord Farquar the ego the character needed, Eddie Murphy brings Donkey to everyone's best friend, and Mike Myer's brogue gives Shrek a life that will live well beyond most animated characters. I'll see it more than once in the theaters, and look forward to the DVD.

Summary: great family movie
Review: I just saw Shrek last night with my three kids, ages 6, 9 and 12. All found this movie to be fun and engaging. The story was funny, moved well and had a GREAT ending. This is a truly unique movie in that it pleased all three of my kids and I paricularly enjoyed the jabs at Disney!

Summary: Just too much fun!
Review: I took my son and his two small daughters to see Shrek last night, and three generations had a wonderful time. The movie hits the ground running, with the opening sequence setting the pace for drollity, surprise, and outright bellylaughs. It gently lampoons fairy tales, Disney, the Matrix... I forget how many other little barbs festoon this jewel, but I cannot remember the last time I have laughed this hard at the movies, or left a theater in a better mood. The cool part was that all three generations seemed to share the same experience. And the dragon is FABULOUS! This is definitely a must-see movie.

Summary: Great time...
Review: Great fun, with more humor for adults than 99% of the live-action "comedies" we get. Myers and Murphy make an excellent team and one has to wonder what would have happened had Dreamworks broken the tradition of having voice-overs recorded individually? Alone these two are great and possibly some of the best ad-libbers around. Together...an idea for Shrek 2? A billion pop culture references color this film but more than that, seeing your old fairy tale critters put on the screen in a less than "normal" light is worth the price of admission alone. The interrogation of the Gingerbread Man is possibly the funniest thing I've witnessed in ages. Strangely even the film's core moral is not as bad as I had feared. I expected the worst and Dreamworks at least gave us a decent ending. With Memento and now Shrek, at least 2001 will have some quality films to remember.
