The Main Points Of Shrek 2

Shrek (Mike Myers, Austin Powers movies) and Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz, Charlie's Angels movies) are packing up their lovable "noble steed," Donkey (Eddie Murphy, Dr. Doolitle movies)
and go on a honeymoon to visit Fiona's parents (John Cleese and Julie Andrews). But Fiona's father is a little iffy with Shrek, and vice versa with Shrek. Setting out to find Fairy Godmother (Jennifer Saunders), Shrek and Donkey meet a cute, adorable kitty
(may not be cute and cuddly on the inside) named Puss In Boots (Antonio Banderas, Spy Kids movies) and the three set out to find if there's happily ever after in Fiona and Shrek's future.
But when there's no happily ever after in their future (according to the Fairy Godmother), Shrek will do anything to make Fiona happy. And that sets the plot for a series of misadventures. And Fairy Godmother gets her son, Prince Charming
to take Fiona (while she's hypnotized) away from Shrek. And Shrek
has to kiss Fiona before midnight so that there will be true happily ever after for him and his wife. DVD features the music video for "Accidentally In Love," the new hit by the Counting Crows and behind-the-scenes, featuring new additions to Shrek 2. If you like this movie, you should buy Shrek and Shrek 3D.

I like Shrek. I am a grown man, but I like Shrek. I liked the first one a little better. I like the fact that I can watch this movie with anyone young or old. This is something I can take my daughter to and not mind sitting there watching it with her. The story is easy enough for a child to enjoy yet it has its adult elements. This is a nice mellow movie to watch even without kids around. I'm sold.

Shrek 2 - As good as Shrek !!

Shrek 2

Another very funny movie about a very good hearted Ogre!

Sequel Review:

Sequels are always very tough to create because viewers expects more of the same "originality" that they enjoyed in the first movie, but they also need some novel situations as well.

Shrek 2 does very well with this, but is not quite as fresh and original as Shrek was. But, it really is a very good sequel.

Review:

Great story with a good script with good cohesion (but, a little choppier than Shrek I), flow and development; great caste with wonderful voices (Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz and Antonio Banderas as Puss and Boots - like Zorro; John Cleese as King Harold, and Julie Andrews as Queen Lillian), great animation, design and implementation, great direction and great movie. Great DVD features that are extensive and generous!

Good duel meaning humor that gets a little aggressive, but not too much over the edge (In one twisted humor scene, Pinocchio declares he isn't wearing women's underwear in order to tell a lie..... !) This may require some judgement for young kids to watch depending on your children and their needs.

Storyline

The movie starts on the honeymoon of our charming ogre (Myers) and feisty Princess Fiona (Diaz) and friendly, but obnoxious Donkey (Murphy) travel to meet the Princess' parents King Harold (Cleese) and Queen Lillian (Andrews).

Of course, misunderstood Shrek is not approved of and the King (John Cleese) undermines Shrek to help Prince Charming (Rupert Everett) steal Fiona from Shrek with some underhanded help from Puss 'n Boots (Banderas), Fairy Godmother (Jennifer Saunders) and Queen Lillian.
