A rather flat film with its moments

Rating: 7/10 (21 May 2002)

While this was a decent film, I still can't put my finger on why I felt it was so average. Granted, some of the humor was littered with double entendres, it just didn't suit me. Maybe it was just the plot being a little too thin or the fact Shrek was a pretty one-sided character until the very end. I did like Eddie Murphy in his role as the donkey, but other than that, the film just didn't strike a chord with me. Solid, but not memorable.
