After battling a fire-breathing dragon and the evil Lord Farquaad to win the hand of Princess Fiona, Shrek now faces his greatest challenge: the in-laws. Shrek and Princess Fiona return from their hon...( read more  read more... )eymoon to find an invitation to visit Fiona's parents, the King and Queen of the Kingdom of Far, Far Away. With Donkey along for the ride, the newlyweds set off. All of the citizens of Far, Far Away turn out to greet their returning Princess, and her parents happily anticipate the homecoming of their daughter and her new Prince. But no one could have prepared them for the sight of their new son-in-law, not to mention how much their little girl had changed. Little did Shrek and Fiona know that their marriage had foiled all of her father's plans for her future--and his own. Now the King must enlist the help of a powerful Fairy Godmother, the handsome Prince Charming and that famed ogre killer 'Puss In Boots' to put right his version of "happily ever after."

    My favorite of the 3. The introduction of Puss 'N' Boots was purrfect. ;\

    I got suckered in by the trailer, I thought that maybe they'd hired some new, decent writers in to make a much better film. Nope, the trailer was the best bits, so I really enjoyed 30 seconds of this film. Not one of my more favourite trips to the cinema it has to be said.

    "Once upon another time..."

    Princess Fiona's parents invite her and Shrek to dinner to celebrate her marriage. If only they knew the newlyweds were both ogres.

    REVIEW

    This sequel to "Shrek...( read more)" is not quite as endearing as the original, which is to be expected. Stories of first love touch the heart more deeply compared to stories of people trying to make the love work. Those stories take much more inventiveness, which "Shrek 2" has, but not quite enough. The filmmakers try to make up for it by up loading up with scores and scores of fairy tale and pop culture references, too much to grasp in first viewing. The latter are mainly Disney versions of fairy tales. They're hilarious, but in time they become excessive. I wonder how comprehensible they will be 30 or 50 years from now. The visuals often are extraordinary. Many times they justify computer animation.

    An add-on short, in which some of the main characters do their version of "American Idol" is cute and enjoyable, but not exceptional.

Nick Schager, Lessons of Darkness

Delivers neither less, nor more, than its wildly popular predecessor. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Is it going too far out on a beanstalk to say that Shrek 2 is one of the most mature movies about adult relationships ever made? full review

May 20, 2004
David Edelstein, Slate

Should ideally be seen twice -- once with kids, once savored at something like a midnight show. full review

May 19, 2004
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

It may not be great art, but it's funny stuff for all ages -- and that's a rare treat. full review

May 18, 2004
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Shrek 2 brims with perverse pleasures that show no respect for the rules of kiddie-cartoon form. full review

May 18, 2004
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Shrek 2 is bright, lively and entertaining, but it's no Shrek. full review

May 18, 2004
Claudia Puig, USA Today

As funny, sweet and engaging as the first film. full review

May 18, 2004
A.O. Scott, The New York Times

Slick and playful entertainment that remains carefully inoffensive beneath its veneer of bad manners. full review
