Pretty darn good

Rating: Null/10 (27 April 2001)

Shrek is no Toy Story, but is still a pretty darn good film. Dreamworks has done a fantastic job of parodying a number of fairy tales and classic Disney animations in a way that is both hilarious and sometimes full out crude. It definately deserves a PG rating.
The character animation and environment renderings are phenominal! It has a really unique and almost puppet-like quality that audiences will surely love.
Unfortunately the writing is pretty weak and there are some jokes and conversations that are downright awkward to listen to. However, Mike Meyers and Eddie Murphy pull off great performances which help to smooth things over.
Overall, I'd give Shrek a 7/10. Good stuff. I'll definately go see it again.
