Not as good as the original...

Rating: Null/10 (23 May 2004)

POSSIBLE SPOILERS ...but still worth a look. All your favorites are back (minus Lord Farqaad)...Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, but now, with new characters such as a fairy godmother, Fiona's parents, Prince Charming, and Puss-In-Boots (well voiced by Antonio Banderas).
The film is not as good as the first movie, but it's still good and still funny and loaded with pop-culture references (i.e. the Hollywood sign, Farbucks, Medieval Entertainment featuring Joan Rivers), funny jokes for both young and old, and good ol' family entertainment.
I'm not sure if I'd like to see a Shrek 3 or not but for now, this is likable. I give it 3.75 out of five stars.
