it's a fairy tale for adults....and the kids

Rating: 8/10 (14 January 2020)

Most of the overtones and the jokes will fly over the kids heads, they were smart with that. If you're an adult though, you'll get it! Shrek is a wonderful movie that's geared towards adults, but your kids will love it too. Shrek is an angry, independent ogre, and he only seems to have one care in the world...his swamp! When Lord Farquaad, the greatest ruler of his part of the kingdom, orders all the fairy tale icons out of the land, and into Shreks swamp, Shrek doesn't take too kindly to them being there, so he makes a special trip to the kingdom to confront this Lord Farquaad to get his swamp back. Along the way, he has an annoying sidekick donkey, a wise cracking hyper animal that doesn't know the meaning of keeping his mouth closed. It's quite simple: Shrek has to rescue the princess, bring her to the Lord, and in exchange, Lord Farquaad will surrender the deeds to his swamp. Things get complicated though, when one of them falls in love, and the princess demands to be rescued by prince charming, not a silly green ogre. Will any of this be resolved in harmony. Shrek was a great movie, with MIke Meyers as the voice for Shrek, and Cameron Diaz as Princess Fiona, and Eddie Murphy as the joke a minute donkey, you're going to have no choice but to enjoy Shrek right down to the last minute!
