Summary: Kids AND adults can watch this many, many times!
Review: This is an incredible animated feature. In some scenes they actually got it TOO perfect and had to "dial back" the realism factor to keep it in a semi-cartoon style. Looking at the swaying flowers, the details on the faces, the blasts of fire and the leaves in the trees make you realize that computer animation is almost to the point of doing a "real" movie.There is SO much in this movie that it's hard to even know where to begin. The voices are fantastic. The animation is fantastic. The plot is great! There are certain scenes in there, the gingerbread man on especially, that get me laughing even after many, many viewings. We've shown this to kids, adults, oldsters, and everything in between and everybody has loved it. There are tons of little gags in there that you only notice on seeing it multiple times. And the meaning of the story is truly priceless. Definitely a must-have for any household with a DVD player!

Summary: Fantastic movie!
Review: Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy are hilarious in this fairy tale for both kids and adults alike. Like Disney sometimes does, Dreamworks throws in some adult barbs the kids won't understand but they'll love it anyway and so will you. Shrek just wants peace and quiet, but soon finds his swamp overrun by a bunch of nasty disney characters (surprised they didn't get into a huge lawsuit considering all the Disney vs. Dreamworks flak). In order to clear out his homeland from these uninvited guests, Shrek sets off on what soon becomes an epic adventure rescuing a damsel in distress from a terrible (but also lonely) fire-breathing dragon. In the process he learns a lot about himself, friendship, and love. With quotes like "Snow White? She lives with seven men, but she's not easy", the bathroom humor and mild sexual innuendos will keep the kids giggling, but there's not enough to restrict their viewing. Besides, if you ever thought Eddie Murphy was a jackass, now you know. One of the few cartoons I'd watch again.

Summary: hysterical!!!
Review: Shrek was so funny when my mom, me and a bunch of her friends went to see it. I was laughing so hard people were looking at me! Shrek is the funniest movie I have seen in a long time. Even though there parts in the movie thst younger kids won't get they will enjoy it all the same. Eddie Murphy and Mike Meyers did an awesome job in this movie. If you haven't gotten the movie yet go get it, if you don't your missing out!

Summary: Great! Get It!
Review: Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived a very ornery ogre named Shrek whise precious solitude was suddenly shatterd by an invasion of annyoing fairy tale characters. There are blind mice in his food, a big, bad wolf in his bed, three litle homeless pigs and more, all banished from their kingdom by the evil Lord Farquaad. Determined to save their home--not to mention his own--Shrek cuts a deal with Farquaad and sets out to rescue the beautiful Princess Fiona to be Lord Farquaad's bride. Accompanying him is a wise-cracking Donkey who will do anything for Shrek--except shut up. Rescuing the Princess from a fire-breathing dragon may prove the least of their problems when the deep, dark secret she has been keeping is revealed.

Summary: Great entertainment for children and adults
Review: I showed this video to a busload of sixth grade children on the way to our destination (field trip). Everyone loved it, including all the chaperones and me! It was great seeing fastasy characters out of the "norm". It reminded me a little of Felix the Cat, except that it wasn't rated X. I enjoyed it tremendously. In fact, I went out and bought it for myself.

Summary: Don't let your kids see it
Review: Unless we are aiming for even higher divorce rates, lower marriage rates, higher cohabitation, and even a more moral downfall in our children, this movie is terrible for children. The girl actually goes through with the marriage but then runs off with the Shrek. I'm sorry, in the attempt to not repeat one of the same scenes over and over like that in "The princess bride" they decide they actually have her marry and then run off? But for a culture that has decided that marriage is nothing more than a peice of paper, making romantic love much more superior (not understanding that real love is something a person has to learn and develope as they mature. The question when you marry someone one should not be "will I still love this person?" rather it should be "Is this person someone I'd want to love for that long?") to marriage. Its completely pathetic.

Summary: Not very good...
Review: This movie was lacking any surprises. It was a typical tale that really was not very funny. It does not compare to the Disney quad- Aladdin, Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and Little Mermaid. However, the animation was spectacular. Kudos on that front. But you have to be awake to see it.

Summary: Racism by any other name.......
Review: In reading the reviews for this movie, i wonder just how mind-numbed the average moviegoer is. Was I the only one who noticed that the only villians in this film were invariably white and male? Or that the "curse" that the princess was "cured" of was being a caucasiaan female? Shrek struggled between being a mindless parade of fart jokes and an example of political correctness run amok. Do special effects make up for a weak, predictable plot, gutter humor and racist overtones? Apparently so, judging from the reviews. Beam me up, Scotty; there really is no intelligent life here.

Summary: Delightful Fantasy -- Similar to "Beauty And The Beast"
Review: This "claymation" fantasy film is great family entertainment. The story is quite similar to "Beauty And The Beast", with a beautiful "fairy tale ending". At the very end of the DVD there is a bonus of about 5 minutes of "Kareoke" fun, featuring samplings of many well known Rock Songs, Oldies, even Motown Classics. I showed the DVD to my class of 4th-graders, who absolutely loved it! -- My only complaint is the fact that many jokes were included that were either "over kids heads" or just not quite rated G. Even Eddie Murphy could tone it down for a kids film. Otherwise I give it 2 thumbs up!****
