Everyone like parfait...
SHREK plays best as a kids film for adults. It is filled with amazing technology, raising the bar again for CGI filmmaking. And although kids will love the adult humor (flatuence, belching and sexual references), it might not be what Doctor Mom ordered.

The storyline, an hour and a half slap across the Disney feature films, and the orgainzation for that matter. Ironically, it is also one of the few drawbacks as the film makes fun of Disney marketing and turns around and becomes a major product of its own with Disneylike Synergy throughout.

The film sports video games, and at least 2 movie soundtracks to date... Eddie Murphy and John Litgow put in great vocal performances and must be acknowledged. Funny man Michael Myers takes a big risk, making his Ogre have an Irish Brogue that only succeeds on certain levels. Still, it is fun for the adults, especially those who've had to sit through other family films in the past twenty years.

A fairy tale parody
Like all computer animated films, we, the audience, feel the impeccable need to make fun of something that the movie has to offer. I was dying to see a glitch or a goofed voice over. But to no avail. So, now being paranoid, I saw the movie again; just to see something wrong. Still, yet, no avail. Then I realized: What am I doing?

One should not waste their time, looking for flaws, in a perfect movie! Yes, I know, that is high praise for Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and John Lithgow, but it truly is a perfect movie. I could not find one flaw. I don't ever hear about any flaws, still, after all this time.

The story is good, fresh, and leaves the audience feeling rejuvenated. The story takes natural twists and turns, landing into the perfect feel and look after movie's end.

The characters are all different, but equally funny. They all have their little traits, and hilarious idiosyncrasies, that make you, the audience feel special, like they went out of their way to make you laugh.

The music is good, upbeat, and it overwhelms you with enticing rhapsody, that allures you to nod your head in silhouette, or sing along with the characters, making you feel like a child again, for that brief moment.

I am left profoundly agape, after I listen to the dialogue and after I hear the voice overs matching the mouths moving almost poetically. The acting is very good, though, it is nothing I have not heard or seen before.

The character's traits and personas are just like those of a real human being. I was never confused or left in a mental knot. The movie's characters as in combination with the story and everything else make perfect sense.

Once upon a time there existed a movie that captivated and ignited imagination among massive arsenals of people. This is weird, I mean, I have never given a movie a good review. So this one probably makes it sound normal, but it's not. It leaps far above normal, into extraordinary.



great parody of 60s-70s rock and ALL fairytales
This is a brilliant film, which operates on several levels: the plot for kids, the hidden nuances for their parents. This is one of the best realized two-level films that I have seen, rivalling even that of Sesame Street and its wonderful double entendres. We have watched this at least ten times, and I am still in awe of it. It is a masterpiece that will become a classic like Pinocchio.

Warmly recommended.
