Very funny, but might not be for the kids!

Rating: Null/10 (23 August 2004)

I enjoyed the humor in Shrek 2 as much as in the first one (though the plot was not as captivating), but reflecting on the movie, I was a little shocked to think that it is marketed as a children's movie, considering the large amount of rather adult content.
I am not referring to the well-done Bugs-Bunny style adult humor and pop-culture references, which likely go completely over the head of a small child. I refer instead to the few instances of rather overt sexual and homosexual content, as well as mild profanity. Some examples of this include a transvestite character, male characters commenting on the sexual attractiveness of other male characters, a male character wearing women's underwear (as a matter of preference), sexual harassment, and addressing Donkey profanely where the context makes it clear the vulgarity, rather than the animal name, is meant.
Just something to consider before taking the kids.
