Summary: Great Animated Comedy....
Review: I have to admit, when this first came out, I neglected to check it out. But I heard so many great things about it, so once it came out on DVD a friend of mine brought it over and we watched it.

I have to tell you... I could not stop laughing from beginning to end. Mike Meyers and Eddie Murphy providing the voices for Shrek and Donkey are the best comedic pairing. And Cameron Diaz is just as hilarious as Princess Fiona.

But it's the little things like the Gingerbread Man being tourtured with milk, Robin Hood and his merry men dancing like there in Riverdance, the fairy tale characters being sold, it's insane and funny as hell!

You want good laughs, minus profanity..get this DVD. So what if the characters are not real...think outside the box and get some good laughs at the same time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Turning the fairy tale on its head!
Review: Funny and irreverant--Shrek will surprise you with its original story and memorable characters. Eddy Murphy, as "Donkey" is outstanding! Mike Meyers and Cameron Diaz contribute great performances as well.

Buy it.

Summary: Excelent movie
Review: Is one of the best movies I ever seen

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unequalled
Review: Shrek is an excellent movie because of its blatant flaunting of conventions. The good guy is an ogre; the prince is an insufferable twit; the princess has attitude. I'm sure a lot of kids like this film, but it's really for older folk; it's chock-full of biting wit, and nothing is sacred.
Recommended without reservation for all adults, and many kids too.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Overrated, yes, but I still find it funny
Review: Maybe it is a bit overratted, but I still think it's funny. Shrek was a great twist on the classic fairy tale. Watching Cinderella and Snow White in a fist fight and visiting the disney land theme park kingdom were fun. And by the way, I've heard a lot about this, Fiona didn't NEED to become a Ogre for Shrek to love her, but because that was her true form she truly understood that Shrek loved her whatever she was and she learned to love herself for whatever she was. Being an Ogre was the only way she could truly understand that her beauty wasn't something physical. Of course this is coming from someone who was upset when the beautiful beast became that pale generic Prince in 'Disney's Beauty and the Beast'.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Confusing...
Review: Considering that this disc lacks a Widescreen version of the film and the "extras" disc the original boasted, I would definitely not recommend buying this mess. Why do studios re-release DVDs with fewer features and in Full Screen only? The "extras" are part of why DVD is such a success. Furthermore, widescreen TVs are starting to penetrate the mainstream. In a few years High Definition widescreen TV will be a significant presence. Who will want Full Screen DVDs then?

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not for the whole family
Review: My husband and I agree -- this movie is not for the whole family! This is one of those cartoons (like the Simpsons) that is just not for kids. It is very crude. I gave it two stars because it did have a few funny parts, but I won't be seeing it again and I certainly won't let my son see it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Animated Classic for Kids and Adults
Review: This great movie follows in the tradition of other animated films like "Toy Story", "Ice Age", and "Monsters Inc." where adults and children alike will enjoy it. Shrek (Mike Myers) is a lovable ogre who wants nothing more than to live in his happy little swamp, but unknown to him, Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow) has revoked the deed to his swamp. Meanwhile, Lord Farquaad has fallen in love with the beautiful Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz), but she is being held captive in a castle guarded by an angry dragon. Shrek wins a competition held by Farquaad to rescue Fiona on the condition that he gets his swamp back. So, with his new friend Donkey (Eddie Murphy), Shrek sets off on his quest.

Finally, Fiona is rescued from the dragon, but Shrek is experiencing a feeling he's never felt before; love. He is smitten with Fiona almost instantly, but Fiona is intent on returning to Farquaad's castle to meet him. However, Fiona holds her own secret which she's afraid to reveal. What will become of Fiona, Shrek, and Farquaad? Will Shrek get his beloved swamp back?

I found this to be an excellent movie. Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, John Lithgow, and especially Eddie Murpy give top notch performances. I watched this movie with my two young children and they were captivated the entire time. The music in the film is good, too, especially the remake of the Monkees' "I'm a Believer". Watch this movie and get a good chuckle.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not your average fairy tale
Review: This movie is great! I loved the humor in it. Even though Shrek is an ogre, he is still kind and lovable. And when I first watched it, I was crying from laughing so hard when the princess was singing with the bird (if you havent seen it, I don't want to spoil it). Great for kids too! And there are pop culture references hidden in there (If anyone has seen West Side Story, etc.) Gotta love the animations, all around great movie! Oh, and the extras are awesome too!
