05/09/2007 | I saw this when it came out in theatres. An ogre named Shrek goes out with a donkey to save a princess and ends up falling in love with her. There's some nice animation and the actors are hilarious.

07/13/2006 | Both one and two...in fact I kind of liked the second one better. I like a film that kids can enjoy and the adults get something out of it too.

04/25/2006 | Great movie! After I bought this for my son, he drew pictures of Shrek, Donkey, and Dragon. (He frequently draws pictures of characters from his favorite cartoons.) And "Shrek 2" was even better!

02/27/2005 | Great movie, for Kids and Grown Ups. I haven't laughed that hard in a very long time. Mike Myers, Eddie Murpy, Cameron Diaz they all did a great job.

05/17/2004 | Shrek was an excellent movie. I love these family oriented films that have a really deep meaning. I actually shed a tear during the scene where all the main characters had separated after Shrek thought Fiona didn't really want him and that sad song was playing. They were all thinking about each other and it was just a moving moment for me (I had just broken up with me significant other myself lol). Just a great film, very funny too.

02/29/2004 | More like a 3.5. Admittedly, the movie had some great moments. It breaks the fourth wall once or twice and every scene involving established fairy tale characters was great. However, for an animated comedy, the movie takes itself a bit too seriously at times. Also, the bodily function gags just aren't funny. The sequel, however, looks to be an imporvement with more pop-culture references, fairy tale characters and breaking the fourth wall (judging from the trailers).

05/26/2003 | I absolutely loved this movie. It was so cute, because it was pretty much a spoof of all the fairy tales. It had a real good meaning involving looks isn't that important as some people make it out to be. Ooh and it was funny. I just had to say I loved this movie again.

03/15/2003 | A pretty good film- like all Children's Movies- not one that I thought that I would be pleased with. However, they chose just the right people to do the voices and the story was surprisingly good. While keeping up with the typical "save the princess" theme, there were some great comedy scenes along the way.

12/09/2002 | Great movie. I havent met a child that doesnt like it, and the only adults that dont like it are compaining about "Adult Jokes." True, there is adult humor, but is well written so that young children will not be scandalized. They remain as innocent as they were before, and adults can sit with their children and watch the movie together.

11/24/2002 | Not only did my children (2 and a 6 year old) love it but so did I!! And whenever I need to do something without my 2 year old pulling on me, I just put Shrek in. It is a great movie for everyone!!!

11/11/2002 | Wow, was I disappointed and surprised with Shrek, especially the first 20 minutes or so. I found it rather crass and not terrible entertaining. 10 year old boy humor was my initial thought and even though the animation is appealing for young children, it is far too adult for young children(thus the PG rating). Warner Brothers does it right in combining entertaining animation for both young and old (especially early Warner Brothers). The kids enjoy the animation and the adult reference is subtle and clever. The ending, however, was quite endearing and poignant; that for me was the saving grace of the film.

11/06/2002 | A very unique film, and what I really like about it is the way they make the jokes kind of tongue in cheek. But as they grow older, some kids will eventually catch on and it will make them appreciate the film even more. These characters are totally hilarious too. The scene where John Lithgow's character keeps asking the gingerbread man "do you know the muffin man?" just cracks me up everytime.

01/11/2002 | This movie was, to tell it truthfully, painfully boring. I have watched it twice now, and everyone time it gets more painful. Ignore the people that called this movie something that would entertain your family. It doesn't even come close to that. This movie was overblown and is not as good as people say it is.

12/31/2001 | “Shrek” would still be excellent entertainment even without the voice of Eddie Murphy, but it wouldn’t have sparkled quite as much. This state of the art animated film never ceased to amaze and amuse on several levels at once. One of the most impressive things about it was the very realistic attention to detail. Facial expressions were especially impressive and spoke volumes about the personality of each character. Even the “lighting” was so oddly real looking I noticed a couple of times what appeared to be lens spot glare. Young children will enjoy the action and the characters but won’t get much of the more off the wall stuff at this point. Since it appears to have all the earmarks of a future classic most of them will no doubt be watching “Shrek” with their own families one-day.

11/17/2001 | I loved this movie. When I first heaaard about a new coumputer animated movie, I recalled the disatrous Toy Story and other evils, but Shrek really was great.
Filled with warmth and humour and a happy ending.
I loved the ending

09/06/2001 | For some reason I just didn't like this movie. It seems like it has too much adult humor. I mean, does a kid's movie really have to be laced with enough adult humor to require a PG rating? Just because the parents want to be entertained while taking the kids to this? If the parents want entertainment for themselves, hire a baby sitter and go out to see Bridget Jones Diary, but don't fill America's youth with foul humor even if it is 'sugarcoated'. Shrek was a dissapointment to say the least. The one good thing about it was the "I'm a Believer" remake, but again, that's for our own enjoyment, does a young child really care about Smashmouth or want a 'rock song' as their movie theme song? I would hope that the answer, even in our jaded world is still no.

07/06/2001 |  An all around great movie. We brought our boys..ages 4 and 5..and everyone enjoyed Shrek. I sit through many childrens' movies for the sake of my kids (although I have dozed off now and again and have found myself bored to tears in others) but this ranks up there with the best. Myers, Murphy and Diaz all do an excellent job, as well as Lithgow. The animation is unbelievable and the story line is moralistic while being entertaining and humorous. My kids and my husband and I were all entertained for the duration of the movie..the stab at many Disney movies was hilarious, there was plenty of adult humor that I hope flew right over my kids' heads. I highly recommend Shrek unless you are overly sensitive and want an ultracensored childrens movie..they do say a** in reference to the donkey..the gingerbread man does say eat me and there are a few references to flatulence..for me and my family, none of this was a problem..but I do know some people who would be horrified..not us, we LOVED Shrek!

06/29/2001 | I don't know as I would say it's a kids movie at all, though, I'm sure they would enjoy it also. It has a wonderful message and was a delight to watch laughing like crazy one minute and shed a tear or two the next. Alot of fun to watch. Shatters some of the fairy tale ideals we had to grow up with-finally. Highly recommend

06/28/2001 | This was a great movie!It had some parts that were inapropriate for little kids, but it was made so it would go over little kids heads. Soem of the kids still laughed but i don't think they understood, they probably just laughed because everyone else did I am a pree-teen, but I still loved it. It had a surprising ending and was very funny.

06/27/2001 | The first time I saw it I thought it was really good. The second time I saw it, I thought it was still good, but not as good as the first time. Of course, both times I did have REALLY annoying little children who sat behind me and my friend and would laugh at ANYTHING(or at least that's how it seemed). I would recomend seeing it, but I wouldn't resomend seeing it over, and over, and over again if you don't have to.

06/16/2001 | Juvenile at times, but still quite enjoyable. Arguably the best of the full-length computer animated films so far. The graphics and voices were really well-done. I sort of get tired of Eddie Murphy always playing that funny tag-along character. Still, a very good movie with a good message and a good arsenal of hilarious parts. Really really.

06/16/2001 | Our family saw Shrek today. We all really liked it. It was a fairy tale that all ages could enjoy. An Ogre and a donkey have to save a princess and bring her back to this want to be king. In this movie there are a lot of the fairy tale characters we have heard about for year. I t is a very clever movie and can be very funny. It has music that even the adults can enjoy. Some of the humor is for older kids and adults but the little kids will not get.Eddie Murphy is funny as the donkey.We considered it a rare treat the whole family can enjoy.

06/12/2001 | Shrek is one of the only cartoons that revolve around something that isn't real, yet it still teaches you something you'll remember forever. It is true, that there are no green monsters walking around (or...atleast I haven't seen any), but it is true, however, that some people have an inferiority problem, and this is what makes this movie so satisfying to watch.

06/10/2001 | Awesome! Has script and dialog so well executed, that children and adults will view the same scene and burst out laughing for totally different reasons. The "song" scene with the "Disneyish" Blue Bird still kills me! The film is clever, message driven and can be enjoyed on many different levels. Hum! Maybe like an "onion"!
Just go and ENJOY!

06/04/2001 | This is a very good movie with very meaningful morals I am glad they covered. It covers the meaning of freindship and what true beauty is. It also gets the point across that Disney movies are lame. Shrek has enough crassness to be concedered modern, but also has enough wonderful messages to convey and original ways to convey them that it is ahead of its time. Remember Beauty and the Beast? How the Beast turned into a handsome (By most peoples standards) at the end? Expect none of that in this film. Love can come from inside from your heart and it doesn't matter what the other person looks like. This film actually made me tear up in a couple spots. I also laughed my arse off in some parts.Alot of parts come to think of it. This movie is great for all ages. And I mean that. I think some jokes could be over some kids heads. But you know youth today. They have all that crap on T.V. and porn on the internet, I am sure they'll get most of them. A great film about the power of love and friendship. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Good date movie.

05/25/2001 | Took the family to see Shrek last weekend; what a great family movie. The producers and writers really did a good job of combining some adult level thinking with a child targeted story line that kept us all interested and laughing. There are lots of “jabs” at Disney and others that make some of the adult humor clean and enjoyable. I’m not a big Eddie Murphy or Myers fan but thought they did an excellent job of vocally creating their characters. There are a few unnecessary words here and there but they seemed to pasts quicker than the kids could pick up. I would highly recommend the movie for any family outing. Hats off to DreamWorks for a job well done.
