a good laugh combined with a "healthy" kick of romance

Rating: 8/10 (27 September 2001)

every once in a while one's heart (even the one of those, who exalt their sense of cynicism, like me) needs a positive kick of overwhelming warmth and a dose of "love conquers it all"-delusion. and if you are just a bit allergic towards those just-a-bit-cheesy-seen-one-seen-them-all romantic comedies, then why not please this need by the prism of humour. "shrek" is lovely cartoon - not only for its really stunning 'reallifelike' animation but for its sense of humour and some of the truely "human" moments. my personal favourite was the eddie murphy's voiced donkey - maximum points for choosing him to do the job.
