my thoughts

Rating: 8/10 (3 April 2007)

"Shrek 2" is a movie that people of all ages can enjoy. There is comedy for children and adults as well as lessons we could all learn from. Throughout the film we follow a newly wed couple as they travel to meet the bride's parents. When they arrive the parents are appalled to find that the spell that was placed on their daughter is broken making her an ogre like their son-in-law. The father discriminates against his daughter's husband when he used magic to be human and marry the woman he loves. At the end of the movie he is found out but his wife loves him even after she knows he is really a frog.
While the film pokes fun at almost every Disney movie made, making characters such as the fairy godmother a villain, it also makes a valid point; you don't have to be beautiful to live happily ever after.
