This is the movie to SEE!

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2001)

"Shrek," is an excellent film for adults and children. It manages to intermingle comedy and morals into a excellent fantasy story. The events that take place in the movie are simple, if they were to get complex, it wouldn't be as pure. Its your standard prince-in-disguise captures princess and saves the day. However, in doing this formula, lovable characters are created. From Shrek, Princess Fiona, Donkey, Lord Farquaad, to the Gingerbread Man, all the comedy relief and romantic characters are accounted for. Many audience members walk into "Shrek," and leave with a smile. I left with not only a smile, but an understanding of the moral. "Don't judge a book by its cover." Family films are few and far between where comedy can coincide with morals in an aesthetically pleasing manner. Go see "Shrek," you won't be disappointed. Instead, you'll be whisked away to a fantasy land, and there is no turning back. ****-A+
