more of the same but just not as good

Rating: 7/10 (17 May 2005)

The story picks up where if left off with Shrek and Fiona on their honeymoon. The conflict arises when Fairygodmother blackmails Fiona's dad, the king. She wants her son Prince Charming to be Fiona's husband. So Donkey tags along with Shrek, and they meet up with Puss in Boots who was hired by the king to get rid of Shrek. The three make their way to Fairygodmother's for help, not knowing she's up to no good. Shrek gets a potion that makes him and Fiona human, only to have Charming take his place. So, the ending is up to Shrek to expose the plot of Charming and his mother.
FINAL VERDICT: In part 2, Donkey is no where near as funny and neither are the other jokes. It felt forced and lacking excitement, which the first one had. They need to stop here and not make a third one, but I've heard they are already planning it. All these sequels just ruin a great concept. But, watch it if you have to keep following the saga of Shrek.
