Summary: Funniest Animated Movie!
Review: I can't say enough good things about this film. The relationship that Shrek and Donkey have is very nice, funny, heart warming relationship. Eddie Murphy did such a good job as donkey, half the time I could not concentrate on the movie because I was laughing so hard at what Donkey did. Myers also did a good job as a big mean oger, I liked the way he made a mean tone in his voice to scare off people. The best part of this movie is the moral of the story: Beauty comes from with in!

Summary: good movie
Review: I'm not going to be the one to break the long streak of 5 star reviews here. So I'm giving it 5 stars, but I really think it deserves about 3. Although several reviewers have said this is better than a disney movie, I would have to disagree. Yes, this movie has great computer animation and has some humor that adults can enjoy, but the basic moral of the tale is pretty old and tired. Toy Story 1 and 2 were both far more original in their story-telling, and most of the Disney animated movies in recent years had superior story-lines. But the movie is definitely entertaining and the kids will love it.Also, the DVD package mentions that it contains videos for the songs in the movie. I was looking forward to having Smash Mouth's Superstar on video. But those videos are only accessible through your computer DVD ROM. You can't watch it on your regular dvd player.

Summary: Sherk is a really enjoyable movie
Review: When I first saw this movie at the theatre, I was laughing so hard I was crying. This movie was too funny. I then rented it at home, and it was still good. The only thing that I didn't like in the movie was the gross humor. I wouldn't recommend it for young children. Only teenagers and adults can truly enjoy this movie. If you haven't seen this movie yet, I recommend that you do. You will a least laught out loud once. I'm sure of it!!!!!
There needs to be another movie like Shrek. Somebody should take a fair tale and twist it around to make it funny.

Summary: The funniest movie ever!
Review: Animated or not, this movie is a scream!!! My three year old daughter loves it, as do my wife and I. There are dramatic moments, humor galore, and a great story. The voices of Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers are stellar. After the movie is over, DO NOT shut it off. After the credits comes one of the greatest surprises. I won't say anymore, but prepare to laugh!! Dreamworks scores a great hit with Shrek! Five animated stars!!!!!

Summary: I have never laughed so hard....
Review: I am a die-hard Disney fan and yet I absolutely loved how this movie poked fun at some of the best Disney classics. Rolling in the aisles doesn't even begin to describe our reaction to this movie. Enjoy!

Summary: Fractured fairy tale
Review: "Shrek" is a completely entertaining film. There are so many references to the Disney-ification of all things, not to mention the Great Mouse's hijacking of all Germanic fairy tales, that its a wonder Eisner & Co. didn't sue. All the vocal talents are spot on. And the bonuses on the DVD are also worthwhile- I particularly liked the interviews with the cast members. I personally look forward to Fiona and Snow White remaking "Thelma & Louise".
This is NOT a kid's movie, despite it being animated. It is, in the Jay Ward tradition, a fractured fairy tale. And, along with "Memento", the best thing I've seen so far in '01.

Review: I will not let my children watch this movie again. Enough said, poor judgment on Disney's behalf.

Summary: Not bad, but drags itself (intentionally) into the mud.
Review: The best part of this film is Princess Fiona, which is not only one of the best animated characters in years, but also flawlessly captures Cameron Diaz' incredible repertoire of cute facial expressions. Wow. Worth the price of admission on her own. The worst part is easy: the toilet humor. The film could easily have been bumped up a star or two without it. I find it odd that some parents can wring their hands over the word "damn", but have no compunctions at all about their kids being exposed to the continual (and disgusting) bodily-function/fluid "humor". And conversely, I also find it ironic that some folks would use the word "wholesome" in any sentence related to this film; it's nothing remotely of the sort. It's an ok and entertaining film overall, but it would be better if Dreamworks realized there are other laughs you can earn besides cheap ones, and there are other ways to do it besides wallowing in scatology.

Summary: Shrek was the BEST movie I ever saw!
Review: Let me tell ya, this movie was so good I thought that it was a Disney movie. However, there is one way that you can tell Disney movies from everything else. Disney movies do not have profanity. Shrek does. I would recommend this movie for kids who are at least ten years old and any adult. Eddie Murphy out did himself as donkey. Cameron Diaz was terrific as Princess Fiona. (I didn't know she was so good). Mike Myers was perfect as Shrek. John Lithgow was good as Lord Farquaad. The muffin man scene was hilarious. I love this movie. I hope that it wins some awards too. My only fear is that the dorky Harry Potter movie might have a higher box office and be an all time better movie. I ain't gonna see it!

Summary: A wonderful story for kids and adults alike
Review: Fairy tale movies for kids have been done so many times over, but none have ever been as unique and funny as shrek. A grumpy ogre unwilling to give up his swamp to intruding fairy tale creatures, Shrek must journey out to the castle of lord farquad, and do whatever it takes to regain his home. A great movie for everyone, very funny and a clever story! One that everyone should see!
