The funniest movie of all time...

Rating: 10/10 (10 May 2001)

I doubt if many people will think this is the absolute funniest movie they have ever seen. However, it may be the funniest movie ever on universal appeal. Little kids were laughing. Grey haired ladies were laughing. Some big biker dude was laughing. My wife was doubled over in tears. We missed many lines in the movie because the whole theater was roaring.
No, this is not a thick plot. The characters will not endure tremendous growth or tragedy. But that's not what they were trying to do here. They were making a silly, roller coaster, laugh your butt off kind of movie. And they did that very well. Murphy and Myers were VERY funny without being lewd. I commend them for that.
For a bunch of good laughs for every one in the family (including your hard to please teenager) Shrek is a must see. There were things happening in the movie that were so absurd and wacky that everyone had no choice but to laugh. Go. See. Enjoy.
