Summary: Inside outside and upside down jokes
Review: Well I saw this picture with a 4 kids ages 7-15 and found it funny but kind of predictable picture. The animation is done quite well and the individual performances were all rather humerous. (Although I think basically Eddie Murphy played Eddie Murphy rather than a talking donkey no matter eddie Murphy as himself is pretty funny.) The plot was kind a very basic fairy tale with the basic fairy tale ending (with a tiny twist). The kids will laugh and the grownups (who this movie is really for.) will smile at the inside jokes. John Lithgow doing "The Muffin Man" is a riot, but the french version of Robin Hood was a bit of a pain. The money spent on this one won't be wasted, but don't expect a classic, just expect to be entertained, after all thats what movies are for

Summary: Finally- A Movie for All Ages
Review: I dont see how anyone could give this movie a less than perfect review. The movie is absolutely flawless. It had kids and adults laughing. I can't name the last time that has happened; where it has been "cool" for an older kid to see it as it would be a little kid. There are even adults eager to see this movie. Dreamworks did a great job with this movie, and could become the biggest movie of the year and surpass Pearl Harbor. If you havent seen this movie yet, you should see it. I guarentee you, you will laugh your head off. I sure did. It brings back what moviegoing should be all about- lighthearted fun.

Summary: Green Fun
Review: This movie is amazing. I am a teen who went to see shrek because Pearl Harbor is dumpy. I was incredibly impressed. Shrek was hilarious! It was all around good and worth seeing again. Skip pearl harbor, see Shrek.

Summary: I CAN'T THINK OF A BETTER MOVIE!!!
Review: Shrek absolutely rocks!! It's great for kids and adults. It's definately not your typical, corny fairy-tale. Far from it. There's a whole lot of difference between this and the usual Hero-rescues-damsel-in-distress-happily-ever-after sludge. And you won't believe the surprise twist at the end. But I'll let you be the judge. You AND the kids have to see this. Even if you don't have any kids, go yourself! Everything about the movie is great.GO WATCH IT TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: See it on the big screen.
Review: Then go buy a DVD player when it is released. That way you won't miss any of the details going on in the background, and there are plenty. The animation is a couple of steps beyond what we have seen in "Ants" and "A Bug's Life", Cameron Diaz is as hot here as anywhere. Otherwise the film is exceptionally funny, and works for both adults and kids. The second time I saw it, I noticed the adults laughed harder, and more frequently.

Summary: adequate animated film
Review: Shrek was all right, and amusing in spots, but nothing to write home about. Katzenberg may have done work for Disney on some of their hits over the years, but you can tell he doesn't really delve down under the superficial stuff to what really makes those films magical. If you're coming to this film looking for that special type of film that you'll want to watch over and over until you're 90, you won't find it here. If you want to laugh at the slapstick and low-brow humor, get in line now.

Summary: Who knew fairy tales could be funny?!
Review: Well... my first impression was... THAT ENDING WAS SO PREDICTABLE! but... once I got over being proud of myself for figuring out ..right away... I really thought about the movie. These are the finer points in the flick: 1. Whoever thought of the gingerbread man being tortured is a pure genius. I laughed so hard ... 2. An ogre's ideas of being clean are definetly unique... not to mention they have a abundence of gas. 3. Although I don't ever remember reading about a talking donkey in my fairy tale books... putting Eddie Murphy as the "...comedy relief" worked really well. "SHREK! I'M LOOKING DOWN!" (not getting down) 4. For those of you who have seen the movie, you know exactly how big the prince is. Shrek and Donkey constantly "tease" him about his size... ...5. Over all... the script was semi-predictable... but still great... the characters were funny and even though the movie was full of sarcasm and humor... it still had its "romantic twist"... not to mention the predictable misunderstanding between Shrek and the Princess... (I say 'predictable' a lot.) Anywhoo... I can honestly say that you SHOULD go see this movie... but... only if you don't mind a disgusting ogre, a talking donkey ...and a princess who is more manly ...

Summary: Sensational Shrek
Review: Shrek is sensational! It is a hilarious and happy family movie; a moral tale for small fry (although it is rated Parental Guidance for mild language and some crude humor) and a laugh-a-thon treat for adults. The animation is more realistic than cartoon. Special tools called "Shapers" (see shrek.com) enabled the animators to imitate actual movement of bone, muscle, fat and skin with a layer of clothing for the human characters and a layer of fur for the animal characters. The result is astounding. Landscapes are especially real as evidenced by water flowing over river rocks in a small creek and a flowing lava moat surrounding the castle. Then there are smoking campfires and dissipating dusty footfalls as the ogre, Shrek, and his wise cracking donkey walk the mountain. Disney defector and now Dream Works partner pokes fun at Main Street Disneyland, Small World and a myriad of "Disneymania". The fairy tales are fractured and innuendoes abound in this hysterical comedy.

My husband and I laughed till we cried and must see Shrek again in order to catch all the humorous tidbits.

Summary: Best computer animated movie I've seen so far
Review: After only getting the typical Disney computer animated cartoons, Shrek is fresh, new and quite different from the rest. The voice actors play well and the soundtrack is better than any music composed for Toy Story, ect. Seeing it a second time is even better.
