Shrek

Pros: Nice extras. Great color.
Cons: Over rated.

Pros: Sharp direction, witty (for the most part) patter
Cons: Dumb flatulence jokes, contrived, in other words, Toy Story It Ain't

Perhaps this movie might have been better titled “Jeff’s Revenge”, because Disney refugee Jeffrey Katzenberg gets his chance to take a whole bunch of dings at his ex-employer and ex-boss, the Lilliputian Michael Eisner, whose behind Katzenberger kicked...

Pros: Appeals to a wide audience, full of humor, superb animation and soundtrack
Cons: Some may not like the mild profanity

The kids and I had been eagerly awaiting Shrek, especially since it’s being called the best film in theaters in any genre. For us, it lived up to expectations. Shrek is a cranky but lovable character, the animation is wonderful and very...

Pros: Excellent animation, Very funny, Sexy princess!!!
Cons: She's not real!!!, A bit predictable

You're going to have to give me your full attention as this is going to get a little complicated to begin with.

Ready? Then I shall begin.

What do you get if you cross a large, smelly, green ogre with:
1. An Canadian actor...

Pros: Perfect casting who perform well. Wondeful CGI. Hilarious from start to finish. Great Soundtrack.
Cons: It has taken me 24 hours just to get the smile off my face.

I had seen the trailer for Shrek on several occasions over the last few weeks and thought it looked like it might be worth a watch. Nothing fantastic by any stretch of the imagination and I was not sure about a movie made entirely out of computer...

Pros: Very amusing, with iconic scenes.
Cons: It really should have been one and only one.

"Shrek" is one funny movie, on a couple of levels. There is the young kid movie, with fairy tale creatures popping up all over the screen, a talking donkey that regularly gets into trouble, a sweet princess who turns out to be a kick boxer and a ...

Pros: lots of laughs, great animation, computer imagery and positive messages
Cons: story becomes predictable in places, reminds you of other Disney movies a bit too often

I've been meaning to see this movie for awhile now. I'd been hearing nothing but great reviews about it from friends and media, and I knew that if Mike Myers were in it, it would most likely not be disappointing.

I started out making plans...

Pros: Adventure*Comedy*Fairy Tale
Cons: Irreverent

This is an adult fairy tale - no, a romantic tale - no, perhaps it would be best to say it's a wonderful computer animated irreverent adventure story for teens - no, better yet, it's a funny movie for the whole family. We took our 15 year old and his...

Pros: A sweet little story that will be enjoyed by the entire family.
Cons: A teeny bit preachy ~ but just a tad.

Our nine year old daughter had an extensive Christmas list this December. As one would expect, Santa didn't have room in his pack for all of the requests. Our daughter, industrious girl that she is has carried that list over to her March birthday. But...

Pros: Refreshingly entertaining, filled with delightful surprises
Cons: None that I could see

We don’t go out to see movies often. The price for the movie theater experience has risen as fast as gasoline prices. But, occasionally we go when a new movie promises to be good and we don’t want to wait for the video to come out.

We...

Pros: Hilarious, worth my money, will get the DVD
Cons: some gross parts, but hey it's a cartoon get over it

or does he?

So yesterday afternoon I took my wallet out for some exercise. I loaded my four children into the mini van and my hubby and I headed off to see Shrek.

To be honest, I didn't really want to - I was so sick of the...

Pros: This is a laugh a minute filled with humor for all ages.
Cons: May be too intense in spots for the very young.

First let me state that I saw this movie under protest! I was convinced by all the hype surrounding it that it could not possibly be as good as was claimed, and that adults would find nothing to enjoy in this fairy tale!

Boy, was I wrong and...

Pros: Hilarious outtake of traditional fairy tales, I'll say.
Cons: The gross humor may disturb young viewers, be aware of that.

It all begins when hundreds of storybook characters find themselves exiled to the home of Shrek, a big ugly ogre who likes solitude in his swamp and wooden cottage. He makes his customary introduction accompanied by a tune from the band Smashmouth. He ...

Pros: Entertaining irreverence and sweet tenderness.
Cons: Isn't quite as funny as you might expect, but still a good time.

Shrek may very well be the first film I’ve seen that failed to live up to expectations, and then go on to exceed them. A laugh riot it has been proclaimed to be, but a laugh riot it is not (at least not for awhile). The first half particularly...

Pros: Fun, cute movie with a great moral.
Cons: Some language.

This movie was MUCH better than I had expected. This movie is packed full of fairytale creatures, all of which have been dumped onto his land. Such a grumpy recluse as the Ogre, of course, is unhappy to have his private swamplands populated by fairies, ...
