 DAZZLING!
This is one of the most innovative concepts to come out of Hollywood in some time. It's a production that combines animation with subtle adult humor. It parodies fairy tales, martial arts movies & makes fun of traditional constitutions of behavoir. Somehow, it manages to not offend. (Anyone who IS offended by this film needs to look up in the encyclopedia the following phrase: lighten up).The special effects and animation on this movie are absolutely stunning. They certainly pulled out all the stops. Visually speaking, this work is nothing short of spectacular. The talent pool displayed is also very impressive. Mike Myers is great as Shrek, Cameron Diaz is wonderful as the frustrated damsel-in-distress (with a twist!). Eddie Murphy is a stupendous choice as the comic-relief donkey (although comic-relief in a movie like this is a bit of an outrageous term). Here is a family friendly movie complete with some border-line raunchy humor. But don't worry - most children will not be apt to pick up on the latter. Can't think of any type or age of person that would not enjoy this movie. Not too many Hollywood endeavors I can say that about!
Fantastic movie!
Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy are hilarious in this fairy tale for both kids and adults alike. Like Disney sometimes does, Dreamworks throws in some adult barbs the kids won't understand but they'll love it anyway and so will you. Shrek just wants peace and quiet, but soon finds his swamp overrun by a bunch of nasty disney characters (surprised they didn't get into a huge lawsuit considering all the Disney vs. Dreamworks flak). In order to clear out his homeland from these uninvited guests, Shrek sets off on what soon becomes an epic adventure rescuing a damsel in distress from a terrible (but also lonely) fire-breathing dragon. In the process he learns a lot about himself, friendship, and love. With quotes like "Snow White? She lives with seven men, but she's not easy", the bathroom humor and mild sexual innuendos will keep the kids giggling, but there's not enough to restrict their viewing. Besides, if you ever thought Eddie Murphy was a jackass, now you know. One of the few cartoons I'd watch again.
