funny. really funny.

Rating: 8/10 (20 May 2001)

If you're looking for a thought provoking revolution in film-making, go see Memento. Shrek is a fun summer animated comedy aimed at real kids. Are you looking for a rated G fairy tale? Go rent the Fox and the Hound. I repeat - Shrek is a fun summer animated comedy aimed at real kids. Shrek is without a doubt the funniest animated movie to come around since Toy Story. If you didn't like Toy Story, you probably won't like Shrek. If you can't stand the preachy tone of Disney (as I can't) but you still want a funny movie for the entire family - GO SEE SHREK! The smash mouth tune to open the film was dumb and I was worried that the entire movie would be ever so hip. Not so. It's a good funny movie the rest of the way.
By the way, one review that commented on the dated Macerana tune - you obviously haven't been to a wedding reception lately. Trust me - the Macerana is alive and doing well and the film-makers knew exactly where to place it.
