Enjoyable but not Great

Rating: 6/10 (21 May 2001)

Let me say first that I am clearly out of touch with most reviewers. I found the recent Bullwinkle movie great fun, yet the reviews here identify it as being among the worst movies ever.
That said, Shrek is an enjoyable diversion. It has lots of fun gags that will get you to chuckle, especially if you get the Disney references. Unfortunately, it lacks a significant story. It's more of a series of gags held together by a thin string. It's worth your time to see it, but I just don't see the fun holding up for multiple viewings.
