Summary: Outstanding Movie, good for the whole family.
Review: A fairy tale for everyone. Witty, good natured humor for kids and adults. Animation in the movie is excellent, as well as sound quality. If you don't own this movie, its definitely worth purchasing!

Summary: What a stupid movie
Review: Apparenty, I must be different than everyone else. I thought that John Q was a great movie. I also enjoyed Fast and Furious and Gone in 60 Seconds. I didn't really like Black Hawk Down a whole lot, but I liked Behind Enemy Lines. That's just about the opposite of everyone else. Now it comes to Shrek. Even though I like Mike Myers a lot, I hate this movie. It's just not funny. It tries too hard to be funny, but it doesn't succeed. The only "enjoyable" part of the movie was Eddie Murphy, but nobody else seemed to like him either. It can't really be considered a kid's movie, because there are a lot of "jokes" that probably aren't appropriate for me, and I'm 17. Plus, the ending is just stupid. It would've been much better the other way around, if you know what I mean. Anyway, if you want to see a good digital animation film, watch Toy Story 2. Of course, that isn't a real fan favorite either, so if you don't like my review for this movie, then don't bother.

Summary: Layers of Fun & Laughter
Review: When I saw the trailer for this I said... awww nonsense....kiddies stuff. Now I stand corrected since my sister rented it for her kids watched it with them. Of course all the charactors are funny but that talkative donkey stole the show. This is a modern day fairytale with a difference. The entire family will enjoy it from start to finish. That said I'm now the proud owner of the dvd and the soundtrack which is packed with catchy and even touching tunes. Get your copies now!!

Summary: Instant classic....too funny
Review: What can I say about this movie? Shrek is highly original while spoofing several fairy tales and intermixing a lot of modern day jokes into the fairy tale background. The story line is very fluid and almost seems to fly by too quickly. Each of the main characters is extremely funny and they all interact well with each other. I loved this movie from the start and never grow tired of watching it. My favorite special feature to the dvd is the Shrek Karoake Dance Party. It's very very funny and kids and adults would both love it. The character interviews however are very contrived and boring. After watching them once, you probably won't want to see them again.

Summary: The best computer animated film yet
Review: I think Shrek is a brilliant film, and enjoy it even more than both of Disney's Toy Story movies (which I still think are very good). I think that the humour in Shrek is a little more cutting, and therefore appeals more to the older viewer (I'm 30), and the film also doesn't quite indulge with the schmaltz factor as much as the TS ones did. Also, even though the rapport between Buzz and Woody is great, the same can also be said of that between Shrek and Donkey. I've already seen Shrek about 5 times, which says quite a bit considering that animated films aren't normally a genre I normally go for. Fantastic computer graphics, excellent script, superb chemistry between Myers & Murphy, great music score, hilariously funny, and just an all-round great feel-good movie.

Summary: All around Cute MOVIE
Review: Recently viewed this Movie, thanks to My TWO Boys!! They seem to just love IT. Familiar storyline mixed with current humour of today!! Silly songs to sing along with, very interactive with Children in question and answer, thought provoking at times. The star studded cast of Characters as voices in this Movie range from John Lithgow to Eddie Murphy, and Mike Myers as "SHREK" is just another added compliment in this exceptionally crafted comedy of a cartoon~~

Summary: Good but Overdone
Review: This movie was okay but I was not impressed by it at all. Although I never saw it in theatres which I probably should to understand the movie more. It made fun of Disney which was okay but the Ogre's voiced by Mike Myers was annoying and it didn't go. It didn't end the typical happy ending but I could have cared less about the characters by that time. It was short but it seemed really long. The DVD was good it is a two disc set. The movie is average nothing better.

Summary: Truly a Movie for all ages
Review: I first saw this movie at the theaters, I(23 then) went with my dad(59 then) to see it, our first intention wasn't see Shrek, we were looking for something else, but find nothing better to watch than Shrek, well, we both loved it, that gives you and idea of how good this movie is, it has no age-range, now I own this DVD (R4 $uck$! it only comes with 1 DVD), I have to say, it was great that they put a Spanish audio track on both DVD's, as well as subtitles in Spanish, This is a great DVD and the Extras add a lot more value to this, you have to hear the commentary track, it's great. Anyway, get this DVD soon, it's a must have for all family.

Summary: A must have movie!
Review: This was a great movie to see in the theaters but it's even better having the DVD at home! The added features, games, etc., have got to be the best I've seen so far! The quality and sound on this DVD is great and again the added features are wonderful! I love all the characters and stars who provided voice-overs for the animation but I have to say that the Donkey/Eddie Murphy definately made the movie! Great fun, great laughs and lot's of enjoyment! I highly recommended this for your collection - the DVD is a must have!

Summary: Fun For All Ages
Review: It's not often that a movie has this much potential for appeal to any age, and meets that potential. This film operates on multiple levels, and hits the mark on all. 1. Technically, this movie sets a new high standard. Are the backgrounds real or computerized? I don't know, and it doesn't make a difference. "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace" was a technological marvel, but the Shrek character moves more naturally than Jar-Jar Binks ever did. Princess Fiona is EXTREMELY realistic, except during her Matrix-like fight scene. 2. The look of this movie is perfect. It looks real, but not quite, which is ideal for a modern (fractured) fairy tale. 3. A fantastic soundtrack fits the scenes like a glove, especially the Hallelujah song sung while sifting back and forth between the lonely main characters -- haunting. 4. Just about every fairy tale or nursery rhyme character you can think of gets a cameo appearance, with hilarious results. Listen to every line they say, as they are usually taking shots at themselves. The Gingerbread Man stole every scene he was in, and his last line blindsides you and leaves you laughing out loud (and possibly on the floor). 5. The movie takes comic potshots at numerous modern and not-so-modern songs, dances, books, and movies, including the macarena, Riverdance, "Babe", "Don Quixote", "The Matrix", and "Charlie's Angels". Almost everything in this movie is a friendly comic attack on something. 6. The humor is almost constant and varies from extremely subtle (many people won't catch the "Don Quixote" reference) to juvenile (several flatulence jokes) to adult innuendo (your younger kids will ask you several times why you're laughing at something that went completely, and appropriately, over their heads). I have never seen a movie that aims at so many different age levels with its humor and hits them all. 7. Hooray for a female hero who can kick a** as good as her male counter-part. 8. Underneath all the humor, the film has a clear, powerful, and not over-the-top or in-your-face lesson about not judging anyone by their looks. I've watched this tape five or six times, and it holds its magic still. Long after many flash-in-the-pan movies have made their mark and faded, "Shrek" will be watched and re-watched and loved. The added karaoke sing-along at the end is funny and entrancing.
