Shrek 2

The title does make a stunning visual on the format, but again it only makes me wish it were the second sequel. The film also has a trivia track and the ability to customize the menus to your favorite character. ... Full Review

It was a gallant effort, but the movie is called Shrek. But Prince Charming underestimates the strength of the love that Shrek has for the newly pregnant Fiona and he will stop at nothing to free his wife and fix the kingdom as it once was. ... Full Review

The thing Shrek 2 does right is the humor-snarky, irreverent, but not full of itself.....expressions and physical idiosyncrasies are duplicated for the characters, which becomes especially important for non-speaking characters like Dragon.....All in all, Shrek 2 is an excellent opportunity to have more fun with beloved characters....The voice actors who replicated the movie actors do an excellent job.... ...

Nonetheless it's a treat, and a happy ending for the "Shrek" series would be a fourth movie, about fatherhood, in which we learn that green doesn't have to be gooey. The problem is, now that Shrek (voice of Mike Myers) and Fiona (Cameron Diaz) are set to live happily ever after, there isn't much left to teach the children in the audience. ... Full Review

The fantastic soundtrack takes a cue from the previous Shrek films with both soulful and snappy tunes. The vocal talent here is unparalleled, from Myers' Scottish brogue for Shrek to Murphy's loquacious Donkey. ... Full Review
