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!

Great Sequel
The irreverent big green ogre is back, and so are all of the wit, charm and hilarity of his original big screen outing. As well, there are a few new surprises, and one of 'em packs a mighty furry punch; as Puss-in-Boots, a kitty cat assassin, Antonio Banderas works comic art, aping both Zorro and his own image as a suave Latino heartthrob. The plot itself is simple enough, finding Shrek (Mike Myers) heading to Far Far Away with his new wife, Fiona (Cameron Diaz), to meet her parents - with Donkey (Eddie Murphy) in tow, naturally. Of course, Mummy (Julie Andrews) and, especially, Daddy (John Cleese), are none-too-thrilled to see the transformation their daughter has undergone. Nor is the Fairy Godmother (Jennifer Saunders), who had designs on Fiona marrying her over-coiffed son, Charming (Rupert Everett). Once again, the people behind the scenes manage to deliver a story that is not only laugh-out-loud funny, but heartwarming and memorable as well. There are nifty plot twists, hysterical sight gags, and stellar turns by all members of the voice cast. It comes THISclose to matching its wonderful predecessor, and is likely to stand head and, er, ears above the rest of the family film competition this summer. A definite winner.

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.
