watch it over, gets better every time

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2003)

I've seen it 5 times, my wife - 10 and the children - i don't know... For someone who loves movies and usually not the trivial ones that should mean something. I saw some of the comments in the forum and was surprised to a certain extent because it is hard for me to imagine that someone who has seen the film would classify it as "children animation" and would judge it by that criteria. Yes, children like it, it's fun for them, but I don't think they can get more than 1/3rd of the fine (and not so "refined") humor in this movie. Both Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers give lifetime performances as donkey and Shrek. Jokes are really nice, as well as at least a dozen of classical phrases that you can apply in any true-life situation. Animation is awesome and soundtrack is a big hit. not less than 100 out of 100! hhhhmmmmm, there's probably a serious reason why donkeys don't write :)
