Very funny

Rating: 9/10 (20 May 2004)

Very funny movie. I saw it on the day of release. The theater was full and the audience loved it so much that there was an ovation at the end of the show. I loved the movie myself. I think there were very few minutes in the movie which was not funny. I would highly recommend this movie for one viewing at least. The message behind this story (both 1 &2) is - "Be proud of who you are and how you look. External beauty isnot everything and it is only what is inside that counts." There is an additional character in this movie - namely, Puss in boots (spanish version). Voiced by Antonio Banderas, it is a take-off on "Zorro". The acting rendered by the character is especially worth watching. This movie is "The King of spoofs". I could identify atleast 25 movies that were spoofed in this movie. The fairy godmother is hilarious too since she tries to imitate a vamp. All in all, the movie has the original cast like Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz, who jell so much with each other in the form of the characters. Some of the other big names in the movie are Julie Andrews, John Cleese, Rupert Everett, and Larry King.
