Hilarious, a job well done.

This is the first of the very popular and very famous Shrek films. In fact, there is about 60% chance that you - yes you, right there, have watched it already. If not, I have to tell you that you're missing out on a good opportunity for laughing your head off (not literally, obviously, or otherwise I would have killed myself about 50 times already) and entertaining yourself.
If you have not yet watched this, you'll probably know what happens, anyway. There is an ogre called Shrek who is rather ugly and everyone hates him, which is not totally surprising. When every single fairytale creature (like the seven dwarfs and the three little pigs) is turned up in his swamp, Shrek decides to make sure that they leave. Along with his new companion, an annoying donkey (voiced by the very good Eddie Murphy), Shrek goes off to find the person who placed all the fairytale creatures in his swamp...
Very fun for the whole family, I recommend this to EVERYONE aged 5 and above, otherwise there will be little point to watching this film (you may not get the jokes if you are under 5). Most people who have watched "Shrek" enjoy it and if you have not yet watched it, I hope you find it as good as I did - or better! Enjoy "Shrek"! :-)
