Finally...

Rating: Null/10 (21 May 2001)

I would just like to say - Finally, a fairy-tale type of film that did not end with the beautiful princess and a handsome prince living happily ever after.
Shrek is a great film. With a lot of tongue in cheek humor that small children shouldn't be understanding ("I think he's compensating for something"), it's a film that should appeal to audiences of all ages.

I went with some friends of mine, and it was their second time seeing it. Though it has only been open for one weekend, everyone I talked to that saw the film LOVED it. Yes, it ribs at Disney and there are cheesy references to other fairy tales (i.e. Pinochio), but it adds to the context of the film, and provides for some great humor (at one point, the 7 Dwarves put a "dead" Snow White on Shrek's kitchen table, and he replies with "Where did this broad come from?"). I could see it three or four more times and still not be sick of it. It's a great film, and has a great moral at the end! I would say the ending, but I don't want to give it away!! GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!
