It Will Make You Smile

Rating: 7/10 (28 May 2004)

I was having an awful day when I went to go see Shrek 2. When I walked out I had forgotten everything bad that had happened that day.
I'm not a big fan of the first Shrek - I thought it was a little dry and the story could have been played out better. But this sequel is much better in my opinion. Shrek 2 offers a lot more than the first Shrek. There's plenty of laughs for the kids and adults, and the story is ten times more heartfelt than its predecessor.
They throw in new characters as well. The adventurous Puss in Boots - a silly spin-off of Zorro, Fiona's Fairy Godmother - the authority on a 'happily ever after' ending, 'Prince Charming' and much more. Sometimes new characters tend to do a pathetic job keeping a movie series alive, but not in Shrek 2. I was happy to see some fresh comedy along with all the new faces, and lots of hilarious parodies on other films as well. The whole movie I was smiling and having a great time.
This is a great date, family, and friends movie. If you're looking for a good time at the theater, or just in general, go see Shrek 2! It won't fail to make your day. 9/10
