Mike Meyers' manages to be funny with one of his four characters

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2001)

I am a Canadian. I do NOT think mike meyers' characters are funny. Mike, YOU are funny. Linda Richmond, Austin Powers, Dr. Evil, and Scottish...voice, are not. Through no fault of his own mind you. Mostly through a combination of Hollywood and the general public's constant impressions stretching an amusing bit way past the breaking point. I hate you all.
Anyway, "Shrek" IS funny. There is little else I can say. It's funny, go see it. Eddie murphy is hilarious as the talking donkey, Donkey. Mike Meyers' scottish voice that he does, is...funny. I can't believe it, but I can't think of a voice more suited for this character. It is spot-on. John Lithgow is amazing as well as the over compensating lord farquaad.
So the voice acting is great. The animation quality is amazing as well. I am not a big supporter of CG animation, give the good old 2-D cartoons any day. But this is amazing. A great primer for "Final Fantasy: the Spirits Within" which I eagerly anticipate. High quality animation is what gives the many sight gags in this movie credibility. (See Cinderella and Snow White Bitch-Slapping each other at movies end.)
So kudos to everyone involved. I'm out of time...8.5 stars! -Matt
