...man (voiced Conrad Vernon). When Shrek 'borrows' a potion from the fairy godmother's 'factory' of potions the movie takes another twist as we see a new Shrek. With potions being taken and arrests being made the ending of this fantastic movie continues to be as entertaining as the beginning. With the fairy tales being merged with present day shops and award ceremonies you will miss some of the simply named shops as they are passed by. The ending ... Read review

Advantages: Some watchable comedy, reasobnable performances
Disadvantages: Ridiculous storyboard

...but is watchably comic enoughof the time to avoid the need to grip the sick bucket all the way through. My three year old daughter also enjoyed it in passing, though she couldn't concentrate all the way through. The film was mde in 2001, and there is now a sequel. The main character, Mia, opens the film as a bright but gawky schoolgirl in San Francisco who is uncool in the high school environment and so nervous of speaking in public she throws ...

Her grandmother the Queen (Julie Andrews) devotes time and effort to coaching her to take the throne so she herself can abdicate, and she gradually changes into an A list princess who attracts media attention and all the A list boys she can handle. Julie Andrews does a competent job of being regal, despite the ludicrous premise that she didn't even tell her grandaughter of her heritage until she was 15. Some cute and touching scenes develop ...

Anyway, they set off to the Land of Far Far Away with Donkey in tow. Of course Fiona's parents are unaware that their daughter and new Husband are Ogre's. The atmosphere is rather akward. The Dinner scene is Hilarious. Fiona's Dad sets a plan to get rid of Shrek, which of course doesn't quite go to plan. ...
