A Really Funny Comedy, Sour Ending

Rating: 7/10 (4 July 2001)

Shrek is a hilarious spin off of a fairy tale in which Shrek (ogre, played my Mike Myers), is mad because for some strange reason all the fairy tale creatures are sent to his swamp where they create a nuisance for Shrek. Shrek and a new acquaintance, Donkey (played by Eddie Murphy), go to Lord Farkquad (played by John Lithgow; the midget sized prince who is trying to be evil but is still funny), because Farkquad was the one who banished the fairy tale creatures to his land. He requests if Shrek wants to get his land back, he must get Princess Fiona, (played by Cameron Diaz), who is locked in a tower guarded by a dragon. Shrek succeeds, and on the return trip, they fall in love. Their is a surprise ending, (don't worry, I won't tell you), an ending that I don't really like, and that is the reason that I gave it the rating I did. I do suggest you see this movie however, due the overwhelmingly funny jokes and characters.
