really very good

Rating: 9/10 (21 May 2004)

I was expecting DreamWorks to produce something worthwhile and they did. The jokes were effectively funny and in some scenes the audience couldn't stop laughing. All of the new characters make a seamlessly good addition to the cast. Jennifer Saunders and Antonio Banderas gave the movie a richer texture and overall provided an abundance of laughs. This is a rare case where the sequel is just as good (if not an improvement) as the first movie. The people who enjoyed Shrek the first time will enjoy the second addition more; they pulled it off very nicely. I would recommend this movie in theaters and on DVD as the comedy in this movie will last beyond the box office.
