Summary: Dreamworks Scores Big.
Review: SHREK is one of the best movies of 2001. Granted it's a CGI film. However, before the holiday season, there weren't many movies to arrive in theatres in 2001 that were so entertaining for both children and adults. Like The Simpsons, The Muppets, Veggie Tales, and the TOY STORY films, SHREK contains a lot of obvious humor that kids seem to enjoy (especially the fart jokes), but also tons of jokes that most children won't get, but that adults will chuckle at.The basic plot of the movie is this. Shrek is an ogre who lives alone in his swamp and is quite happy there until one day he saves a talking donkey from a group of guards. Donkey befriends Shrek and before the ogre knows it, his swamp becomes a safehaven to all sorts of fairy tale creatures who have been displaced from their homes by the Napoleon-complexed Lord Farquaad. Shrek and Donkey set forth to meet Farquaad and end up going on a quest to save the beautiful Princess Fiona (who happens to have a beauty secret).SHREK is a modern-day fairy tale told using computer animation. It doesn't deconstruct fairy tales as some have suggested. However, it does rip on Disney big time. That specific satirical cartooning is one of SHREK's biggest treats. And even if you don't pick up on or enjoy the Mouse House bashing, there are plenty of flatulence references to make you laugh.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Movie!
Review: Everybody in my class had to see Shrek and we all loved it. All the fairy tale characters are in it aswell as the Gingerbread man (who is funny). Its an up to date film and you can watch it over and over again without getting sick of it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious!
Review: This movie presents a funny and silly tale of an ogre (Mike Myers), a donkey (Eddie Murphy) and a princess (Cameron Diaz). Shrek is your average mean, grumpy ogre who lives in a swamp who just wants to be left alone. He then runs across Donkey, who is an amazingly annoying talking donkey who keeps you rolling on the floor laughing with his jokes. And then the two go off on a quest (complicated reasons why) to rescue the lovely Princess Fiona, who somehow isn't very wooed when she realizes her rescuer is nothing but a rather ugly ogre (sorry Shrek) and his noble steed is but a donkey. But the Princess and Shrek become great friends, and it becomes harder and harder for Fiona to keep her deep dark secret a secret much longer...
This movie is absloluetly hilarious! For all ages, really. There are jokes that only adults (and teens) would understand, and some rather nasty hidden tibits within the dialog. My only dislike about this movie was how many stabs it took at Disney. Disney has brought us great movies, and although it was fun to watch them to poke fun at it, it got tiring after the eightieth joke. But it was funny and all around one of the better ones!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shrek
Review: My grandson watches this move over and over and over. He imatates shrek and the donkey. He carried the cover package all the way to Montana and back. It's a movie that even adults can enjoy over and over. Thank you so much for your work on this wonderful movie. (...)

Summary: Family fun for all ....... what a stupendous movie ...
Review: OK so people were upset when Disney's Bambi dies and some people are upset that the word 'damn'is use twice in the movie Shrek but give me a break, today's youngsters are not as fragile as some parents would lead you to believe.

We put this DVD on when a few 'rugrats' were visiting and their eyes were glued to the set watching the show. When we asked them if they liked the movie we got a resounding 'NO' but, their eyen never left the set and when they were leaving they all wanted to stay and asked their parent to came back so that they could watch more great movies.

My kids are pretty well grown now and I remember that we used to take them to the movies regularily. Unfortunately some of them were so sweet that I think they should be banned for 'cruelty' to the parents that have to endure them and avoid from falling asleep. I certainly will never forget jumping at least 4 feet out of my seat when one of the mean bears in the 'Care Bear' movie jumped out of the bushes and growled so loud that most grandparents got heart palpitations.

This movie at least is presented in such a way that its a pleasure for all to take a monet with the kids to watch and laugh. What a great story ....

Summary: HORRIBLE!!!
Review: Shrek is the absolute worst movie I have ever seen! I expected it to be very good because it has gotten good reviews and I had heard from my friends that it was good. When I finally decided to watch it, I was very disapointed. The story line was very bad and it was very boring. I would much rather have watched another animated film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shrek rules!!!!
Review: Hands down the best computer animated film ever made. Even better than the two Toy Story filmes (which I both loved). The voice acting by Mike, Eddie, Cameron & John were awesome. You cared for the characters and it was very funny. Way to go Dreamworks.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 2 THUMBS UP! SHREK IS A CLASSIC!
Review: A wonderful movie. Heartwarming and hilarious. A movie that will appeal to all ages to be enjoyed time and time again. This is one video you must own. Superior animation, terrific voice performances particularly by Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy. SHREK is truly a movie to be cherished.

Update: Sorry my fellow movie and metal maniacs that his sounds like some geeky review that Roger Ebert dork would give. I apologise and promise you that unlike Metallica I will not sell out and go commercial (Unless I'm offered a ludicrous amount of money. heh heh heh).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Oh no! Not my gumdrop buttons!
Review: The DVD has a lot of great features on it, but some of them (like the games) are pretty useless. Still, it's fun to see the so called "outtakes" and the info on how they made the movie. The Gingerbread Man is your guide through a lot of the options, and his little statements are funny!

I absolutely love how this movie takes shots at the giants of the family entertainment industry. When you see the dressed up guard running through the snaked lines when he sees Shrek, be sure to catch the "Wait from this point: 45 minutes" sign. That sure did bring back lots of thoughts of standing in the hot Florida sun waiting to get on a ride! My favorite part of this entire movie is the smackdown at the end between Belle and Snow White. Make sure you catch it during the boquet toss!

If you just got your DVD player, this is a great first DVD to get. The animation is great and fun, and the features will keep you busy and will spoil you!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome Flick
Review: I have seen this movie multiple times and continue to laugh as hard as my kids do. This is a must have for the DVD collection.
