Disappointing.

Rating: 5/10 (7 February 2003)

After all the hype this movie received, I was rather disappointed.
To me, it was less fairy tale than it was a soap opera for kids. When the Princess reveals to Donkey that's she's an ogre and makes the comment about loving something so hideous and Shrek overhears and thinks she's talking about him -- a daytime plot if I ever saw one.
Kids, no doubt, will enjoy it. I thought it was quasi-lame.
