EDDIE, EDDIE, EDDIE

Rating: Null/10 (26 December 2001)

Shrek is a funny animated film.
After my first viewing I thought Shrek was quite good. My first comment was "Not as good as Toy Story".
However, after repeated viewings the film just gets better and better. It is witty and the voice characterizations are excellent.
But it is EDDIE Murphy (as Donkey) who steals the show. He is as funny as he's ever been on film.
Very few films have brought out the real Eddie as seen in his stand up routines. Ironically, it is Shrek (along with Trading Places, Coming to America and The Nutty Proffessor) which comes closest. Eddie Murphy in his rawest, funniest form is yet to be experienced on film. Probably never will be.
As for Shrek. Children love it, adults love it. A film not to be missed.
