Review of Shrek (2001) by Chris M — 05 Jan 2013
Entertaining computer-animated comedy from DreamWorks follows a giant ogre named Shrek (Mike Myers) who values his life of isolation. One day, his private life is intruded by many fairy tale characters thanks to the evil Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow).
Now in able for Farquaad to get his swamp back to normal, Shrek must go on a quest and rescue Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz), whom Farquaad intends to marry. Joining Shrek on his journey is a faithful if very talkative donkey (Eddie Murphy).
Both a hilarious yet affectionate satire on fairy tales as well as a fresh and bright modern fairy tale itself, Shrek is an absolute delight for both kids and adults with its genuine humor, incredible animation, and great voiceovers.
