visually stunning, but a little gross

Rating: 5/10 (29 May 2001)

"Shrek" is visually stunning. Dreamworks has really done a fantastic job with the computer animation. On the other hand I found some of the humor a little gross (is there no end to the flatulence jokes?!). I also have a hard time with many of the pop culture references. Although it may be humorous today, much of it will be meaningless in ten to fifteen years. I don't really see this film "standing the test of time".
