It's not easy being green.
Fiona and Shrek are blissful ogres on their honeymoon in "Shrek 2," the delightful new animated film from Dreamworks. Shrek would like nothing better than to wallow in the swamp and lie on the beach with the love of his life. The couple's solitude is disturbed, however, when the fast-talking and impudent donkey who was Shrek's sidekick in the first movie knocks on their door and makes himself at home. Donkey is too clueless to know that two's company and three's a crowd. Shrek is even more chagrined when Princess Fiona's parents, the King and Queen, invite their daughter and her new husband to the palace. Shrek correctly predicts that his in-laws will be shocked when they discover that their daughter married an ogre. In fact, the King desperately wants Fiona to dump Shrek and marry Prince Charming, a fey blond egomaniac who is overly attached to his pushy mother. All this conflict puts a strain on the newlyweds.

"Shrek 2" scores in all areas. The acting is marvelous, with Mike Meyers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz heading an all-star cast. Jennifer Saunders is a standout as an aggressive fairy godmother with a mean streak. The animation is terrific, the special effects are marvelous, and there are musical numbers, satirical allusions, and lots of sight gags to entertain kids and adults alike. Kick back and enjoy this perfect summer movie.

Fantastic Movie! Better than the first!!!
This is a great film. It has a good moral and is a good family film. Most of the the innuendoes and other innapropriate jokes will go over the heads of most children.

Ogres, donkeys, and cats, oh my!!!!
This is a great film, full of laughs and beautiful animation. I only recently saw the first film and I enjoyed it too. I think, however, that this one is better. Mike Myers returns as the loveable but grumpy Shrek, as does his love, Fiona (Cameron Diaz) and his sidekick, Donkey (Eddie Murphy). New additions include John Cleese and Julie Andrews as Fiona's royal parents; Jennifer Saunders, as a very wicked Fairy God Mother and Rupert Everett as a vain Prince Charming. But the newest member of this fairy tale that is the most fun is Puss in Boots, played slyly by Antonio Banderas, clearly a scene stealer!

The story starts after Shrek and Fiona's honeymoon, the two receive a summons from Fiona's parents to welcome her new husband into the family and celebrate the wedding with a ball. Once the King and Queen see Fiona and her husband, though, is when the story gets set in motion.

The writers had a lot of fun getting laughs out of Hollywood, paroding Cops, E news with Joan Rivers and Mission Impossible as well as taking a few funny jabs at animating rival, Disney. I'm sure I need to see it again to catch all the sight gags. Also, stay around for a little bit of the credits because there is a little extra bit of fun after the movie is over.

A great film that the whole family can enjoy. I highly recommend it!
