Product Review
If you have enjoyed Shrek, then get ready for another laughter-filled 1 hour and 30 minutes as you join Shrek and his entire gang in the sequel, Shrek 2! This movie will have you doubled over with laughter with its collection of movie spoofs, another bout of modified nursery rhymes and popular fairy tale characters and lots of pop culture and music thrown in! Children will love this "ogre tale" for its non-threatening suspense and the etiquette-challenged behavior of the two ogres, while adults will appreciate its pop culture references.
The happily ogred couple of Shrek (Mike Myers) and Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) visit Fiona's disapproving parents, King Harold (John Cleese) and Queen Lillian (Julie Andrews), and get assaulted at the palace by an aerial Fairy Godmother (Jennifer Saunders) who has some sort of crooked deal going with the kin whereby her son, Prince Charming (Rupert Everett), gets to marry Fiona. Or something like that. Will Shrek and Fiona be tempted into human beauty and give up their natural state of ogretude? Will Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and Puss-in-Boots (Antonio Banderas), a duelling cat, help them retain their honor and beautiful green complexion? The movie is obvious, but consistently entertaining and animated in DreamWorks's "realistic" digitized style. Directed by Andrew Adamson, Kelly Asbury, and Conrad Vernon; written by J. David Stem, Joe Stillman, and David N. Weiss, who adapted, from a great distance, characters originally created by William Steig.
