Summary: Why do my parents call it Shreek?
Review: I loved this movie. It was very cute. It wasn't sooo cute that it was childish or boring for me as an adult. There is humor in this movie for all ages! This movie is visually appealing. I enjoyed watching it for not only its humorous story, but also for its music, and I am a big fan of Mike Myers!
Children will love this movie trust me. I watched it 3 times in a row because they love it so much.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent!!
Review: This DVD is worth the price just for the movie alone, which is one of the funniest things I have watched in a long time. The humor is sometimes subtle, sometimes obvious and very nearly continuous. Chances are good that just about anyone in the Western world will find something funny here. And maybe even beyond.

As if that weren't enough, however, the DVD is packed with extra features; sadly, many of these extras have limited replay value, although they are all laced with the same tongue-in-cheek attitude of the movie itself and are certainly worth going through at least once, if for nothing else but the info on how the movie was made and other details.

Also, unlike another movie, the outtakes are genuine technical goofs, rather than contrived screw-ups; many of them are funny in their own right, although some of them are just wierd.

In short, get it for the movie but be sure to watch the extras at least once.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Do you know the muffin man?
Review: This movie is funny and clever. It is highly entertaining for children and adults. Some parents may find this movie inappropriate for very young children, as there is some bad language. But that is an individual matter.

The dvd has extra features. The most entertaining of these are the technical goofs-errors in the cgi process-and the Srek's Swamp Karaoke scene. The latter is a collection of the characters singing different songs. All in all, this is a good dvd.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A different view of fairy tales
Review: This movie is made for those tired of the same old fairy tale story. In fact, it makes fun of all those Disney movies even though most of the inspiration for this film come from them. Shrek is a funny movie but it is not a children's movie as some of the dialog and story lines falls into a more adult kind of humor but without being obscene.

Overall the film is entretaining and fun. The character animation is truly amazing as movements and speach are very belivable. The DVD set comes with extras that are both interesting and fun to watch.

Summary: Shrek Dreck
Review: One of those rare occasions where I dramatically disagreed with society, I found SHREK to be entirely predicable and, rarely, engaging. The jabs at the commercialization of fairy tales (aka Disneyland, Universal Theme Parks, etc.) were wonderful touches for the adults in the audience, but they were lessened by the idiocy of fart and/or belch jokes. Alas, Eddie Murphy voices one of the major characters for the CGI flick, and I believe he maintains a clause in his contract for a relative number of gaseous jokes.

It's definitely worth a view. My tastes in comedy do differ from the mainstream, but rarely have they diverged as widely as they did with SHREK.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lord Of The Rings eat your heart out
Review: I missed Shrek at the movies, and just ordered the DVD the other day. What a great effort - not only cutting edge CGI with authentic hair (the holy grail of computer graphics, so I'm told by my techno-friends), but it's very very funny. Mike Myers manages to play it almost completely straight (super Scottish accent though!) and Eddie Murphy makes the funkiest donkey you'll ever see. And a great cameo from the three cockney blind mice. Nice job.

If only Peter Jackson had paid attention to Shrek when editing Lord of the Rings. Note to file, Mr Jackson: if you're going to do three hour sword and sorcery epics, at least try to make them funny.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Emperors new clothes ??
Review: PLEASE watch this movie for what it is. Nice computer graphics. The voice acting is atrocious. The jokes thin and meaningless.
The CGI is polish, and the old saying 'you can't polish a turd' is true in this case. Although the vast majority of people have been 'taken in' by the bright shiny CGI and have not been tempted to look behind the proverbial curtain. If they did they would see an extremely lacking movie. Mike Myers tired 'Scotsman' act, and Diaz must have phoned her part in. The only redeeming part was Murphy.

Shrek ? more like Drek.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Good Ideas, but honestly a bore ! Great 4 kidz though.
Review: Funny at times, new ideas incorporated into fantasy animation, but still not much here. Great for kids but not much replay or worth on an adult level. Its good but not great ! A good watch once, but thats it.

OO Agent

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious-- to both kids and adults alike
Review: THis has to be the funniest movie since, since ever!
It will appeal to kids from the age of three to adults as old as they can get. The characters are original and side splittingly funny. Sure to bring the whole family together with its wit, charm and high morals. The characters range from a sarcastic but soft hearted ogre (mIke myers) to a beuatiful yet streetwise princess (Cmaron Diaz) and a charming, loyal and jjust down right funny, talking donkey (Ediie Murphy). I hope none of you have any doubts whatsoever about buying it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cute, funny movie!
Review: This movie will put even someone having a terrible day in a good mood. It's silly and cute, not at all deep or anything. Even though the donkey can be a bit of a drama queen (king)sometimes, the characters are generally good-tempered. Overall, I think it's a good movie.
