Summary: Brilliant!!!
Review: This was one of the best animated films I have seen in a long time. Mike Myers does the voice of shrek brilliantly and I thought Eddie Murphy was excellent as donkey. The jokes are new and plentiful and the storyline is a work of art. Cameron Diaz does the voice of the lovely princess Fiona who Shrek, with a little help (and hindrance) from donkey, has to save in order to get rid of all the fairytale creatures that have moved into shrek's swamp. The sub characters are also brilliant, one of my favourite being the gingerbread man. Also, the kareoke piece at the end of the film (after the credits) was hilarious. Watch it; it's one of the best films you'll see this year.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great!
Review: Shrek is a very nice animation that has very good effects. There are some musicals in this show that sound quite nice.The ending is sort of unexpected for me. This dvd has many goodies extras. Picture and sound quality is also good. Get it!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good, But Sick, Innapropriate, and Overrated
Review: I myself don't believe that Shrek deserves to be anywhere near the 250 best films of all time. It's a fine way to waste time, but it's only good for about two viewings before the jokes become repetitive and annoying, and boy, that donkey is NERVE WRACKING! Mike Myers uses his stupid Scottish voice again (which he already did in So I Married An Axe Murderer and Austin Powers The SP WHo Shagged Me), and it really got on my nerves. John Lithgrow was pretty good as the Prince, and he's propably my favorite character in the film.

However, the sexual adult humor in this really dragged it down, and I am shocked that this sort of stuff can sneak its way into a "Children's" movie. Trust me. I am not a person who gets offended easily. I love all The Jay and Silent Bob movies, as well as American Pies 1 and 2, and several others. However, those were all Rated R and not PG!

One scene stands out particularly in the film. It is where the Prince is lieing in bed, staring at a picture of the princess, supposedly naked under his sheets. He stares happily at the picture of Princess, then he sais "Perfect." Just after that, he lifts his sheet up and looks underneath, making a suggestive face. Of course he is supposed to have an erection, and I find this not to be the sort of thing that should be in our kid's movies. If you want a good Children's film, watch the masterpiece Monsters Inc.

Hope this review helped.

Summary: shrektabulous!
Review: What more can I say about this movie? It had me rolling on the floor with laughter from opening to closing..

In this movie we have our main character Shrek who is a loner due to his situation (his is an Ogre). And he seems to be happy that way.. now introduce a Donkey (with the voice of Eddie Murphy) and a king with some ego problems (must be trying to make up for something) and finally a princess locked in a tower protected by a female dragon and y ou have the makings of a fairy tale gone awry..

Shrek our hero is sent out to find the princess so our king err prince can truelly claim his title. Now once Shrek get to the castle with the donkey ( and some well placed puns) we run into a love hungry dragon and the princess who has some set notions as to what needs to happen when she is rescued.

And it is there that I will stop...

i will add that this movie is full of action, fun, romance, humor, and drama. .(and this is all within the first 1/2 hr of the movie)..

It is a must see for kids and adults alike..

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Big Green Mess
Review: I think this movie was kind of ok,if you watch it once.But I also think it was over- rated and sometimes gross.I guess the twist at the end was kind of cute.But you don't have to listen to me,as everyone I speak to loved it..strange..If you really really want to watch a film with a big green weirdo in it,The Grinch is way better.And Jim Carrey's funnier than Mike Meyers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very good fun movie!
Review: This ia great movie, and fun for all ages! My niece, less than 2 years, loves the music and seeing the lumbering Shrek. There is lots more to add, just wanted to stress the re-watchability(if that is even a word) of this film as she makes me and her parents watch it over...and over...and over again.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Apparently I'm one of only 10 people who didn't like Shrek
Review: But there it is. I hadn't seen it at the theatres and was looking forward to watching it with my son on DVD. Imagine my dismay as I kept waiting for the movie to get better and it never did.

I didn't think it was funny but then again, I will own up to the fact that I don't find jokes about bodily functions to be funny and haven't since 3rd grade. I didn't even think it was very original.

IMO, Monsters Inc. did a much better job with the genre and was funnier and much more original.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty good
Review: My dentist was showing this film as he did root canal work on me and even at that I was laughing out loud - what more can I say?

Summary: One Fun Movie
Review: I don't know of anyone who didnt like this movie. From kids who are 4 to adult of over 50. It's one of those movies that anyone can enjoy.
The chemistry between Shrek (mike myers) and the goat (eddie murphy) is fantastic. Add a princess played by cameron diaz and you have the perfect trio.
The adventure is a story never told before yet it seems framiliar. It's got some real funny parts and along with the ultimate leason that it doesn't matter what you look like.
What else do you need? popcorn and a comfy couch and poof the perfect nite!
