HAHAHA this one's a good one!
From the opening scene with the song "All Star," you know you're not in for a normal, predictable animated fairy tale movie. Besides the catchy pop soundtrack, many other scripted fairy-tale rules are thrown out the tower. Shrek the ogre isn't your conventional knght in shining armor- he didn't even want to be. But to make the short, not-so-intimidating villain Lord Farquaad get the fairy-tale animals off his property, he has to rescue the rather typical fairy tale princess Fiona from a tower guarded by a dragon and bring her back to Farquaad. His donkey sidekick, hilariously played by Eddie Murphy, tags along with Shrek. The trip back to the castle makes for many comical adventures. But a fat ugly ogre couldn't possibly get together with a beautiful perfect princess...or maybe...

When I first saw the previews I thought it would be just another dumb kiddie cartoon but when I saw it at the theater, it was hilarious. My fav scene, which had me laughing so hard I almost cried, was the one when Princess Fiona started singing with a bird, and then... Just proves, as the film preaches, you can't judge somrthing until you really get to know it. Finally, we the less-than-perfect-figured-people get our representation in the movies. Two thumbs up!

Really apart of what you've seen
This is a must-see. And it's not a easy way to define this film. This is for everyone, no matter of your sex, your age, your attitude to fairy tales, to cartoons or to music. "Shrek" has it to surprise and to enjoy each and everyone of your family or even none of your relatives.

It is easy to see with every kind of company. It's sweet, it's bitter. It's plenty of laugh and plenty of love. Music is really a big part of the film and every tune is perfect. I don't know of anybody who dislike this film. Extremely enjoyable.

The Greatest Fairy Tale Never Told!
Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow) is ruler of Durok. After he realizes he must be a king in order to be ruler of a kingdom he chooses Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) as his bride. Fiona is locked away inside a castle surrounded by a fire breathing dragon. Farquaad holds a tournament to determine the princesses rescuer. Shrek (Mike Myers) wins the tournament and makes a deal with Farquaad. The princess for the deed to his swamp. Farquaad agrees and together Shrek and his loundmouth donkey (Eddie Murphy) set off on an unforgettable adventure.

Shrek has already raked in over 266 million in the us box office alone and thats for a good reason so if you havent seen it yet, what are you waiting for. This is a great film for all ages. There is the perfect mix of humor for the younger and older audience. The voice overs by the actors is excellent and the CGI is just jawdropping(look out Pixar).

Dreamworks has put together an excellent DVD. The transfer is just flawless. The picture is clean and there is no edge enhancement. With all the debate over pan and scan and widescreen maybe this dvd should become the blue print for the standard. Pan and Scan (don't know why some people prefer it) with DD on one disk and Anamorphic widescreen with DTS on the other for the video and audio freaks like myself. The disk is just loaded with far to many extras to list here but trust me they will keep you busy for a couple of hours after the movie is over. If you can only get one dvd this month Shrek should be it.
