Loved this movie

Rating: 9/10 (6 March 2002)

The most endearing aspect of this movie is the ogre's face. It is huge, it is wierd, and his ears are like lotus-stalks, but nobody can deny the face is cute. I was able to sit with my daughter (not yet 3 years) and laugh at Shrek, and with Shrek, and she loved it. And even for slightly older children, the politically correct moment is both touching and very timely : an ogress believing a kiss from a true beloved would make her beautiful, and when it does not (and she wails, 'i am still ugly'), the guy very romantically corrects to say she IS beautiful. worth keeping at home for watching time and again.
