Summary: Lighten up
Review: This is a great DVD for people who are not too [uptight] about technique. Laugh a little people...the scottish accent is priceless (not always accurate but remember, we are LIGHTENING UP!) My son 2 yrs loves it (we of course skip via the magic of DVD past several scenes) Get it, kick back and let your inner child have a laugh!

Summary: THIS AINT NO KIDS MOVIE!!
Review: Well, as you know, Shrek was one of the most popular films of 2001. When I first saw previews for it I thought it looked incredibly stupid, another ... kids movie. However, EVERYONE else I know saw it and said it was hillarious, and kept insisting that I see it. I kept saying "No way, I aint seein that ...!" Well, every Friday in math class we have our "movie day", and Shrek was the movie chosen last Friday. I was like to myself "Ok ok I'll watch it", thinking this would be a stupid corny kids flick......I COULD NOT HAVE THOUGHT MORE WRONG!! This was one of the FUNNIEST movies I've EVER SEEN! I'm 17 years old & I've seen it about 4 times, and NOT ONCE has it failed to have me gasping for air on the floor! DONT be fooled- this is ANYTHING BUT a kids movie- for one thing there's a few swear words. Myers, Murphy, & Diaz do great voice jobs. So if you haven't seen this & everyone you know keeps insisting you see it, SEE IT! you WILL NOT REGRET IT! Hope there's a sequel!

Summary: 40 Times and Counting!
Review: My two and a half year old can't get enough of this movie. There are plenty of lousy kids' movies out there, even marginal ones...Shrek is the sweetest and most entertaining kids' movie I have ever seen! It ranks right up there with Toy Story on the adults-will-enjoy-it-too scale. Definitely worth buying! Get an extra for when your kids wear out the first one.

Summary: I just don't understand how anyone likes this movie.
Review: I don't get it. Why does everyone think this movie is so great? I hate the characters. Shrek is mean and the donkey is annoying. There weren't any characters that I could relate to and I just didn't like any of them. The plot is okay, but nothing special. Plus it's not that funny. Not crack up laughing, spit out your pop kind of funny...

Summary: not for MENSA types
Review: I'll admit first of all that I did not see this movie in theaters (I'm very happy I didn't waste the money), but had heard it was worth a view and was getting all the best of reviews from the major critics. I wish I had never seen it. I almost believe that my blind faith in its "horridness" prior to my seeing it should have been left as it was. After viewing the movie on DVD once (and not wanting the movie to ever touch the tray on my DVD player ever again), I wondered suddenly to myself, "what was it about this movie that every critic (and person for that matter) found so compelling?" I could personally not see past the numerous fart jokes and bathroom humour clouding up the picture. The premise of the entire movie was sentenced to death past the 45 minute point, the uphill struggle had begun at that point. The tiring Donkey character (a far cry from anything even remotely entertaining that Disney has ever done) really got on my nerves. Along with that, Shrek, as horribly unlikeable as he is, had become such a moronic character at that point that I simply wanted snap the disc in half and never speak of it again. In order to leave this review short, let me suggest that all who decide to watch or listen to this movie must please consider a blindfold and some earplugs. Beware the post-credit sequence, it's voice acting at its very worst (well, that kind of describes the entire movie).

Summary: Funny movie!!!
Review: This is movie is very funny and I liked it very much. It is about Shrek and the Donkey mostly, but two other characters are Princess Fiona and Lord Farquaad. Lord Farquaad wants to be a king, but his magic mirror says that he has to marry a princess first. Lord Farquaad chooses Princess Fiona, who is locked up in a tower that is guarded by a dragon.
Also, Lord Farquaad tries to destroy all the fairytale people in his kingdom, and the fairytale people go to Shrek's swamp. (where he lives) Shrek immediately wants them to go out, already having enough trouble with the chatterbox Donkey who crashed into Shrek that same morning. Shrek asks them why they came to the swamp, and one of the fairytale people (Pinnochio) says that Lord Farquaad put them there. Shrek goes to Lord Farquaad's castle and demands his swamp back. Lord Farquaad says that they can go out if only if Shrek goes to rescue the princess. Shrek agrees and they easily capture the princess while the Donkey makes friends with the dragon who is not what they expected it to be. After two days, Shrek, Fiona, and the Donkey go back to Lord Farquaad's castle, and Shrek and the Donkey sees something strange about Fiona. Fiona goes into a cave or small house every evening very early. The Donkey finally goes inside to see the princess. What will happen inside the house?? This movie is SO funny and interesting and you should get this movie!! I think you'll like it very much!

Summary: Best Selling DVD to Date!
Review: I recently read a Wall Street Journal article and it listed SHREK as the best selling DVD to date (Feb 2002)! Eight million copies. If you have not seen this movie, go rent or buy it today! I have been waiting for a movie like this for a while. (1.) Shrek is unique. It's totally computer animated yet has exceptional voice acting. (2.) The Voice acting is done by proven professional comics. Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy bring their characters to life! (3.) All ages can enjoy this movie. Rarely have I seen a animated or computer generated movie that could keep the interest of both adults and children. (4.) The DVD is packed with entertaining Extras! (5.) Shrek takes place in a medieval-fantasy fairy tail.
