Summary: Wonderful!
Review: This movie was one of the best I've seen in a while. Being 16 most animated movies are either dumb or have cheesy humor. This had niether. It was funny and it kept moving. They made quite a few pokes at Disney (Beauty and the Beast, Pinnochio...) as wll as other movies (The Matrix...) which only added to the humor. The music was entertaining too, and it fit with the scenes, which doesn't always happen. A few things to keep in mind; 1.)If you find that Donkey is becoming annoying, remember, this is why donkeys don't talk. 2.)Ogres are like onions. All in all this is a great movie that I highly suggest seeing. The dirty language is only mild (a couple of words here and there and nothing horrible - for example, the other word for donkey is about as bad as it gets.) I suggest going to the theaters with you kids and seeing it.

Summary: Something for the whole family
Review: Shrek is a movie that both the young and the adults can easily enjoy.

The story, in a nutshell is all about an ogre who has enjoyed a life of solitude suddenly has all the mythical denzines of the kingdom suddenly dumped on his swamp land. He wants this situation rectified immediatly.

The king, a tiny little fellow with a 'taste' for torture offers him a deal he can't refuse. Rescue a princess he wants to marry, slay the dragon and the creatures will be removed.

Along the way he is joined by a talking donkey.

The princess isn't the hapless damsel that you would expect either, and there is a very unusual plot twist which comes to a head at the end of the movie.

A must see.

The humor is both for adults and children, and hardly a minute goes by without the audience laughing. There are also tributes paid to various movies, such as Robin Hood, Matrix and so forth.

It is a movie that you could more than likely see several times and not grow tired of it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great cartoon send-up
Review: This computer animated wonder is a great send-up of all cartoons/fairy tales. Never taking itself seriously, Shrek stomps, clomps and squashs traditional stories of old and brings the fairytales screaming into 2001.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A FUN MOVIE FOR ALL AGES.
Review: He's big,he's ugly,he's a hero-he's Shrek.An Orge who just wants too be left alone.He only wants too have a peasefull life in his swampy home.But that is not the case.When a king want-a-be ,vanshies all the fairtale creatures too his swamp.Inorder too get rid of these pest .Sherk must go too the castle(or is it an amusment(disney maybe?lol) park?).There he is talked into rescuing the lovely princess from the dragon.To rid his home of the fair tale critters he takes the job. And so the movie goes-as we follow Shrek and his side kick donkey on there adventure.Along the way We learn its not what's on the out side that counts,but who we are inside. Lead by the voice of Mike Myres(shrek) & Eddy Murphy(donkey):This movie pokes fun at just about every fairtale in history & Disney. from the Wizard of Oz too the Lion King.From Mother Goose too Robin Hood(the human not the fox).from slap stick humor too sex related humor.This covers all the bases thanks too a PG -RATING. Although some young kids(6 under) may find fairtale charecters beging knocked around offensive it's a reltivly safe movie for everyone. On a final note if you listen too the music and songs they help tell the story very nicely and move it along.The piece Hallelhujah captures the entire story.Here is another spot Dream works takes yet another crack at Disney:With the new and improved version of "It's a Small World"(lol). THIS MOVIE IS WORTH THE TRIP[ GO SEE IT ONCE OR TWICE ,AND ENJOY ALL THE FUN OF SHREK ONE OF 2001 BEST FAMILY MOVIES SO FAR.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful Film
Review: Shrek is a great film when you consider it has a lot of fun pop-culture jokes and amazing animation (look for the scene with the grass hill and watch the grass)

It's weakest element is the storyline - a few holes are in it but it still manages to hold together. The overall look, feel and laughter are infectious and you will enjoy this no matter the age, no matter if kids are in tow or not.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SHREK
Review: SHREK fights the forces of Hollywood mediocrity and wins! GREAT WRITING, vivid characters, bang-on humor, ground-breaking computer graphics animation... And an anti-formula story that hits home with viewers of all ages. SEE IT!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely Adorable!
Review: Shrek is the movie to see this summer! This movie is not only for little kids, but for everyone! Mike Myers is great as the title character, though my favorite was Eddie Murphy as Donkey. This film has it all - comedy, romance, and action. I really can't say enough about this movie. See it! You won't be disappointed.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Shrek RuLeS!!!
Review: Shrek in 3 words: FUNNY, FUNNY, FUNNY! A little childess, but mainly it's FUN, FUNNY, AND one of my FAVORITE!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Forget exploding battleships!
Review: Forget exploding battleships, cheesey love stories and mummies, SHREK is going to be the movie of the summer! It is the most hilarious romp I've seen for ages with what is probably Eddie Murphy's greatest performance to date. It's a great send-up of every fairy tale you've ever loved including quite a few pokes at Disney! It looks fabulous too, even better animation than Pixar's latest movies. This is going to be a SHREK summer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cute Little Donkey
Review: I love this movie because of the adorable little donkey. He is so cute! He is obnoxious, yet adorable and friendly. He is also the most underrated character in the movie. Shrek and Fiona would not have been anywhere without all Donkey's loving, sweet help. I say let's band together and give Donkey the respect he deserves.
