Summary: A jolly good show
Review: I first saw Shrek about two weeks ago. It looked like a good movie, but a kids movie, one that I wouldn't want to go out and spend six bucks to see, so I waited until it hit the dollar theater. I went in, expecting a steriotypically predictable, yet usually somewhat enjoyable Disney movie, but was shocked to find myself actually laughing out loud, pleasently suprised by comedy and unexcpected outcome. A good aquaintance of mine, john garbett worked on the film, and john... way to go. I rated this 5 stars for it's witty twists and astonishingly hilarious humor.

Summary: 100 % Fun
Review: Well when i first got in the movie i was kind of sceptic. But after the movie i didn't regret seeing it, cause in Shrek there's not a scene you want to delete. The personality of each character is just amazing and the humor is not superficial. Also you escape (on purpose) the traditional cliches of "the last hardfight between th good guy and the bad guy" and stuff like that. Even the little tributes to other movies are original and surprising funny. Well in two words: Great Movie.

Summary: Schrek is a great movie...,one for all ages
Review: This is a great movie. I saw it on the big screen with my 16 year old, who went in thinking that this was just another cartoon. As it turned out, this was animation at its best and we were thrilled with this movie.
Eddie Murphy was sooo funny as the donkey side kick.
This one is a must see and I recommend this movie for the entire family.

Summary: Both children & adults will love it
Review: The dvd package comes with two discs; thus you can watch the movie in a full screen format or, alternatively, in the widescreen format. Each disc has different extras such as video games and behind the scenes information. The movie is the old "Prince Charming rescues the Princess" tale with a very different twist; the concept of beauty is examined. Predictably, Shrek, who is an "ogre" lacks physical beauty but there is an additional twist which emerges towards the end of the movie. Not only is the tale entertaining but I think it carries a strong message as well. The animation is very interesting and the new computer generated techniques make the characters look so real that it almost seems that they are actual actors slightly distorted by special effects. I didn't see the movie in the theater, only on dvd, and animation & effects worked well on the TV screen. I have one not insignificant criticism: the villain (movies such as this must have a villain) had the physical characteristic of being unusually short. This may send an unfortunate message to the young viewer that short in stature equals short in character. If I could give 4 and a half stars, I would do so because I think a dcrease of a half star is merited. Other than this criticism, I thought the dvd was first rate.

Summary: SHReK
Review: Absolutely the best animated DVD video package I've ever seen. The extras that are bundled with the two-disk set are engaging and the games are entertaining. One will not easily tire of this package. In this day and age where so much uncertainty is around us; there is one thing certain, watching this DVD will give you a warm and happy feeling.

Summary: Shreksterical
Review: This is one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time. I was laughing so hard that I cried at the parody of "The Matrix" fight scene. Someone compared it to "Princess Bride". I agree that both are great funny family movies, but that's as far as the comparison can go. Shrek has it's own original flavor. I didn't feel like I was seeing a remake of anything else. Which is quite a fete considering the number of animated and other stories out there. I was happy with the mix of actors used for this movie. Myers, Murphy, Diaz, and Lithgow did great jobs. They worked well together and made a fantasy have believable characters. I was impressed with how well Michael Myers pulled off the Scottish accent. As we know some actors/actresses (i.e. Kevin Costner in Robin Hood) can't do foreign accents. The movie pokes jabs at a number of Disney and other movies and there is so many off hand remarks that it will take several viewings to catch them all. I certainly intend to buy the DVD and I highly recommend you get it.

Summary: BUY THIS MOVIE!
Review: This movie is one of the better movies that has come out of Hollywood lately. The first time I saw it was with my five year old son. He insisted we see it again and again...we saw it in the theatre FIVE TIMES! Everytime you see this movie, something new and different will hit--like the square flower arrangements in Farquaad's mansion, or the realistic leaves blowing in the "wind". This movie is appropriate for most age levels and almost all humor levels. It's amazing.

Summary: If there was ever a film that was right for the WHOLE family
Review: The problem with nearly every kids movie out there is that they're either impossibly boring for grownups to enjoy with their children or they're full of bad messages even when they're trying to be moral or instructive. Shrek has neither of these problems. In this highly entertaining film, the monster isn't a monster, the evil dragon isn't all that evil, and the beautiful damsel who needs to be rescued isn't a beautiful damsel, and she's perfectly capable of rescuing herself. It's full of tons of positive messages about tolerance, prejudism, inner beauty, gender equality, and other such noble ideas that simply don't come across clearly in other films...Shrek is well animated, well written, and very well acted. It's absolutely hilarious at times, and very touching at others. I can't imagine anyone not falling in love with it and wanting to watch it over and over again.
