Improves on the first one!

Rating: 10/10 (22 May 2019)

The first one was great in how it poked fun at Disney and fairy tales as a whole. The second one takes it up a notch in the best way. It introduces new characters and even more funny gags such as the one in the beginning where Shrek and Fiona are celebrating their honeymoon. There're a lot of nods to fairytales, old movies and Disney such the scene where Fiona kiss on the beach only for shrek to realize he's kissing Ariel from The little mermaid. This causes Fiona to drag her off and throw her back into the sea where she gets devoured by sharks soon afterwards.
After they get home they get a message from Fiona's parents who are the king and queen requesting they meet her new husband. As you can imagine things don't go well as planned leading to hijinks and emotional moments. What I like about this movie is that it takes the characters and develops them even further. Shrek is known for being laid back but here it shows even more of his vulnerable side.
Despite what he's done in the previous movie he's still not accepted by society which makes him for how Fiona's parents and how they'll react to him. There's not much else to say other than it's a great movie. I highly recommend it to fans of the first one.
