Good movie, but too crude.

Rating: 9/10 (17 June 2005)

Do I have to write anything more than the title? I enjoyed the movie--I thought it was hilarious, the way they spun off on the regular fairy tales and ogre images. The animation was stunning, the characters fleshed out very well, and the story was most impressive. If it weren't for all of the crude "humor" and sexual references, I would have loved it. But, when Mike Myers is involved, civility goes out the window. I must say that I loved all of the twists and turns in the movie...and Donkey was hilarious, even if he was a bad sign from the start. Eddie Murphy certainly did better than Mike. I give it a seven out of ten--a C, but a middle C. Amusing yet offending...I have the same misgivings about the sequel, but I want to see it.
