Summary: Quality Movie
Review: There really aren't many movies around that both kids and grown-up kids truly enjoy. Sure most animated movies toss in something here and there for the adult audience, but this movie does more than that. It is a kids movie, but it offers entertainment for adults, too. There are some parts that small kids may not like if they scare easily (the dragon and its castle could be scary). Eddie Murphy makes the movie. Without him the second half of the movie wouldn't be very etertaining, but because he is there it is very enjoyable. I would recommend that you see this movie.

Summary: Slightly Fractured Fairy Tail
Review: Shrek is one of the few family movies I've seen that I can honestly say is intended for both adults and children. There are several jokes for the adults, but just as many jokes for the kids, and the whole moral behind Shrek is a good one.I don't think they could have cast a better group of actors for the voices then they did. Eddie Murphy brings in a lot of comic relief to Donkey, John Lithgow adds the right amount of lordly overtone to Lord Farquaad, a pint sized man wanting the perfect kingdom, and Mike Meyers and Cameron Diaz give depth to Shrek and Princess Fiona. The references to other movies are humorous and well done, and the animation is outstanding. In some places the scenery looks almost real, and all the characters move like real people and animals would move. This is one of the few movies I can say I really loved, and if I had the time, I would see it many more times. It's nice to see a movie that's both funny and has a moral of some kind that can appeal to adults and children.

Summary: Take the whole family
Review: When I walked up to buy the movie tickets and was asked how many children, I was embarrassed to say none. I thought oh no is this movie just for kids. Well, I had the most enjoyable movie experience I've had in a very long time. The movie was clever and entertaining at all age levels. Adults and children laughed at the same jokes but for entirely different reasons. The moral of the story was a learning experience for everyone. Thumbs up for a future move classic.

Summary: "Shrek" is a winner that will continue to make you laugh
Review: "Shrek" opens with the usual fairy tale movie beginning but quickly becomes a laugh riot that is tame enough for kids but has enough adult material to satisfy the adults. The story begins with Shrek(voiced by Mike Myers), an extremely large ogre who is feared and hated by the people. He is fine with his normal life of living in a swamp and being alone until Donkey(voiced by Eddie Murphy); a runaway donkey literally runs into him. Shrek's peaceful swamp becomes overrun with fairy tale creatures(most of which are from Disney films) and therefore he must go to save the fair Princess Fiona(voiced by Cameron Diaz) from her castle for the short Lord Farquaad(voiced by John Lithgow) to get his swamp back. With Lord Farquaad's short stature and his mean attitude, it seams that he is a mix of both Michael Eisner and Jeffery Katzenberg. Furthermore, it seems that the use of Disney characters in the movie are pokes at the dispute between Katzenberg and Disney. This movie has been so long in the making that Chris Farley was originally intended to voice the role of Shrek but with his passing Mike Myers took the role and did a great job. His voice closely resembles the Scottish voiced character of Fat Bastard in "Auston Powers the Spy who Shagged Me". This film is not the usual fairy tale by any means. Princess Fiona tries to be the princess that you would read about in stories but she is not the average princess. From kung fu to singing at a pitch so high that a bird blows up, her character gets many laughs. As for Eddie Murphy; he supplies a great majority of humor with his straight talking Donkey that is both honest and heartfelt. "Shrek" is not a normal fairy tale nor is it a normal film". See this movie before the book is closed.

Summary: Shrek
Review: Shrek was a hilarious and warped movie. Regardless of what anyone else writes or says about it, one must see for oneself to be the judge. Nevertheless, more than anything, I would love to see this movie kick The Lion King's butt at the box office, solely, for the simple fact that one of the most money-making sought after Disney animation releases it has yet to see the light of day on DVD. Shrek is already set to go on DVD by 2001 4th Quarter. The Lion King? Who knows? Who care? ...

Summary: One "Shrek" of a good film
Review: I recently saw the movie "Shrek" and I have to say that it was one of the funniest films that I have seen in the past few years. At the opening scene in which we first meet "Shrek", I was laughing so hard that i thought I was going to fall out of my seat and it satys that way throughout the film . But besides being so funny, the film also has a really great story to it. Also, even though it may seem like it, the film is not just for young kids. I'm in high school and I loved it. The film has a lot of jokes for kids as well as a lot of jokes for older viewers. I really liked that about the film. It was a good way to keep the film entertaining for everyone. There are some jokes that pertain to Disney, but the whole film does not make fun of it. It seems that lots of reviewers are saying that there are lots of jokes that pertain to Disney, I disagree, but oh well, that's just me. Anyway, anyone who has the slightest interest in seeing this film, do it. I think you will have a great time. This one is absolutely on my year's ten best list.
