4/4  Uh... really tall?
I cannot believe that this movie has anything less than a 3.5 average rating! I can safely (and maybe subjectively) say that this is the best animation movie ever! From the first frame, the movie captivates you, and before you know it, you... (read full)

4/4  One of the best animed movies ever
Dreamworks released this movie to amazing fanfare as they took the first big step into a path of movie making that up until this point was dominated by Pixar / Disney. I couldn't get enough of this movie when it came out, and I had to buy ... (read full)

3.5/4  Shrek Quick Review
Hysterical!

2.5/4  Shrek Quick Review
I'm not a crazy huge Shrek fan, but it's not a bad movie. It's funny. I'm just not obsessed with it like a lot of people are.

3/4  Shrek Quick Review
I was really surprised by this film when I first saw it. It's actually very clever and quite funny.

3/4  Shrek Quick Review
I enjoy watching this movie with my boys. They get a kick out of Shrek and Donkey.

3/4  Shrek Quick Review
A film that has a lot going on for the kids, but throws in some sly winks to the adults as well. I wouldn't think an Ogre would be such a hit, but it works. Meyers and Murphy make a great pairing.

3/4  Shrek Quick Review
I think this movie is cute and funny, but I did not get into it like most. It is too much like the "Princess and The Frog," for me to accept this as anything but recycled. Still, it has many laughs and good pacing that the whole family will enjoy.

1/5 Shrek (Two disc special edition)
  by S. Green

I am extremely disappointed with my purchase from awesome_books_001. What I received in the mail was ONE vhs cassette with the shrek movie in another language. The title of this product was a two disc special, I feel very ripped off, and will be much more careful about ordering anything online. I was under the impression that amazon was a reliable place to order CD's and DVD's.

Sincerely,
Very Disappointed

5/5 Should be four stars

1/5 A terrific movie for kids of all ages
  by Brian W. Glenn (Atlanta)
Once upon a time, there lived an ogre named Shrek (Mike Meyers). Shrek liked the quiet life in his swamp, until Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow)evicted all of the fairy tale animals from his Kingdom. The animals move into Shrek's swamp, which he is not happy about. So he and the fast-talking Donkey (Eddie Murphy) visit Farquaad to work out a deal: Shrek will rescue Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) from a fire-breathing dragon, in exchange for taking the animals back. While spoofing every fairy tale from Three Blind Mice to Three Little Pigs, and taking numerous shots at Disney, Shrek's message is not lost. One cannot always see beauty from the outside. I haven't seen a movie this funny in years. Bring the kids! I'd say 4 and up. There is some mildly crude humor, but little ones won't get it anyway.

3/5 I love shrek!!!

The movie could not be changed of course. It is a VHS of shrek. The one negative is there was not jacket? I didn't know that? But I am happy with my movie!
