Rating: Summary: Great movie...BUT WHATS WITH THE STICKER? Review: "Shrek" is very funny, and is probably the best movie I've seen this year. The extra features are also very fun including two short documentaries (together equal apx 1 hr); humorous "interviews" with the cast: Shrek, Princess Fiona, & Donkey; and music videos. An added plus is disc 1 has the full-frame version, and disc 2 has the widescreen version. It also has some funny games, many of which you must do with a DVDrom drive.The only flaw is the promotional sticker on the front of the case. Unlike usual DVDs which put stickers on the shrink wrap, this movie has the sticker directly on the case. I (foolishly) attempted to remove it, and just made more sticky residue. I suggest you purchase this DVD [it's great] and then contact DreamWorks (the studio which released this DVD) at (972) 293-5903 and request a replacement case as I have done. ...then you can have your cake and eat it too.
Rating: Summary: Mara's Review of Shrek Review: So before I go out and rent Shrek, I am told that it is the best movie of the year. I get my hopes up, believing that Shrek will entertain me and all that, but I was a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong. It was a hilarious movie with a cute story line, but I don't think I can consider it the best movie of the year. Yes, the donkey, or I should say Eddie Murphy, does do a great job with the little humorous dialogue here and there but it just needed a little bit more from every character. The day before I rented Shrek, I saw the movie Monsters Inc.. I definetly compared the two and I thought Monsters a more all around cute, hilarious, and great story line movie. This is probably my source of comparison and is probably where my synicism arised from. I guess the two movies are very much different but I definetly believe Shrek really uncomparable to Monsters Inc.
Rating: Summary: Pure joy Review: Probably one of the best animated films I have ever seen. This movie is definitely up there with The Lion King! I insist you watch it.
Rating: Summary: Great, but warning for early grades. Review: I loved this movie. It's got a great plot and is very creative with analogies to other movies and fairy tales. But, you can read professional reviews to discover all that. The extras on the disk are fantastic -- "interviews" with the stars, information about how it was made and so on. One warning: There's a lot of, er, bathroom humor in the movie, especially related to, er, flatulence. It's over the head of a 3-4 year old, but I'm not sure I'd want an 8-year-old watching it.
Rating: Summary: SHREK Review: GREAT MOVIE dreamworks has done it again kids will love it and adult,s who like great annimation will to
Rating: Summary: WARNING TO PARENTS Review: SHREK WAS A BEAUTIFUL MOVIE, WITH A GREAT STORY LINE. IT WAS WILDLY IMAGINATIVE. THIS IS ONE TO ADD TO YOUR HOME COLLECTION. JUST ONE WORD OF CAUTION: SOME CONTENT WAS INAPPROPRIATE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN. I WISH I WOULD HAVE SEEN IT BEFORE TELLING THE KIDS WE'D SEE IT TOGETHER.
Rating: Summary: Amazingly funny Review: I never laughed so hard as when I was wathcing Shrek. This movie has enough great one-liners to make any one who likes to drop movie lines happy. Eddie Murphy is great as "Donkey". I especially liked the part where Shrek tells Princess Fionna that the only trick about his talking donkey is getting him to shut up. Mike Myers nailed it as Shrek, simply great.
Rating: Summary: Great film, but not appropriate for children. Review: Shrek is a film that will make you laugh and the visuals are amazing. Unfortunately, this film is not suitable for children under 13. There is adult humor and inapropriate language used throughout the film. I recommend this for the adults out there, but do not buy it for your kids. If you do, then you are a lowsy parent.
Rating: Summary: The best animated movie ever Review: i saw this movie in the theatre with a group of friends and it was hilarious! The jokes are wonderful it maked fun of everything Disney! One of the best movies of the year! A must for all ages.
Rating: Summary: Great family entertainment Review: Shrek was an enjoyable fantasy adventure that will appeal to adults as well as children. I watched it with my nephew and enjoyed it more than he did. It was very funny and very well animated. The extras on the DVD are worth the purchase alone. There are games to play, documentaries on how the movie was made and a nice sing a long karoke feature. Hats off to the voice actors and especially Eddie Murphy who was great as the donkey.
