Absolutely Hilarious

Rating: Null/10 (13 July 2001)

Fairy tales are meant for kids, write? Well, i can guarantee that this one isn't. You go expecting Prince Charming to save the princess from the big ugly ogre. Well, swap the prince (no longer charming) and the ogre, and you pretty much end up with Shrek. Myres did a good job on this one, though there isn't really much of a difference between him and Shrek. Murphy's Donkey is an absolutley hilarious companion/sidekick. I like that donkey, it's a NICE donkey! (those that have seen Shrek will get that, but the rest of you won't). Lithgoe's voice was perfect for Lord Farqoud, though that isn't really much of a name, is it? Diaz did good. You don't expect princesses to beat people up, or turn into ogres at night, but what the hey?! The ending wasn't brilliant, and donkey's don't date dragons about 50 times the size them, but we'll make an exception for Donkey. I'd say it was a good family movie, but it wouldn't have been much without the one liners and the twists. I saw it with a few friends, and we had a good time.
