a GOOD sequel

Rating: 8/10 (21 May 2004)

rarely does a sequel to a great movie live up to the original. This movie keeps you in stitches from the first frame..if you are a movie buff the continuous references to other movies is fun to look for.
they parodied spiderman ,,mission impossible,,flashdance...ghostbusters..blazing saddles..and zorro..to name a few...it was a SCREAM! captain hook playing the piano in the bar and narcoleptic sleeping beauty...doves flying into walls.. a real side splitter! GREAT WRITTING!
the same message is there...you don't have to have a TYPICAL dream fairy tale happy ending to be happy..you don't have to live up to a certain standard to be happy....shrek is all about self acceptance...its okay to be a frog and not a prince and prince charming isn't so charming anyhow.. the ANTI FARY TALE SCORES A BIG BIG THUMBS UP!!
