Only thing wrong with this film is that doesn't get a chance to fulfill it's full potential

Rating: 7/10 (28 May 2001)

Shrek is a wonderful movie that pleases both adults as well as the young ones. It plays off all of the fairy tale stories ever made, and parodies most of them.
Dreamworks manages to provide a great movies that has a story that people of all ages will enjoy. Filled jokes that will keep the children laughing and the adults hiding giggles of their own Shrek is a wonderful family film. The only problem is that it doesn't evolve as much as it could. With a short run time, less than an hour and a half, the story seems rushed.
Despite this the film is a wonderful movie that is not to be passed up.
