Bigger better cast of characters

Rating: 7/10 (28 February 2007)

Shrek is back and he has to meet his in-laws... is this a scary movie? Without a doubt, Shrek has issues with Fiona's parents right away, and we find out that even Ogres have marital problems. The story is good, very comparable to the first Shrek, plus how can you not love the characters? The characters are what make this movie. The regulars such as Shrek and the incomparable Donkey are, of course, great. But even the new characters added some excellent flare. Puss in Boots (the cat)(Antonio Banderas) was classic, and the Fairy Godmother (Jennifer Saunders) was just gold.
This movie was actually better when I watched it the second time and got to see a lot of the scenes over again. I can honestly say that much of this movie would go right over the head of young kids. The comedy is fairly sophisticated at times with enough child humor to keep children entertained (as if that's hard).
