Extraordinary fun, even for me!

Rating: 9/10 (28 June 2001)

Going into Shrek, I didn't expect much. After all, this was supposed to be a lame comedic effort for kids. Worse, it was a CARTOON about Fairy-Tales. Definitely not the action delivered by a good summer movie such as some of the other films in theaters (ex. Fast and the Furious, Swordfish...). Little did I know know that Shrek would beat out these films in terms of pure entertainment.
This is a great comedy, with a solid story, for everyone to watch. I know, usually, when they say "everyone", it means young kids and a few sentimental adults. Yet, as a 17 year old, I can truly say this movie is good, very good. Just ignore the stereotypes and go see the movie. You'll soon realize that Shrek is a masterpiece.
