Happily ever after never seemed so far far away when a trip to meet the in-laws turns into another hilariously twisted adventure for Shrek and Fiona. With the help of his faithful steed Donkey, Shrek takes on a potion-brewing Fairy Godmother, the pompous Prince Charming, and the famed ogre-killer, Puss In Boots, a ferocious feline foe who's really just a pussycat at heart!

big green goofball havent quite been up to scratch. In fact theyve been completely rubbish.Shrek 2, based directly on the new movie, is a step back in the right direction.At its core the game is a sort of scrolling beat-'em-up, interspersed with numerous little puzzles to overcome as you try to navigate the various fairytale realms. What makes things a lot more interesting is that you actually manage a team of four characters at a time, taking control of one at a time and having the other three follow along behind. The defaults include Shrek, Fiona and Donkey, but you also get to use Gingerbread Man, Lil' Red, Puss in Boots and The Big Bad Wolf.The best bit is that if you can get three friends to help, then one person can actually control a character each, which really livens things up. But even in single player mode any of the characters can get a chance to take part in a "Hero Time" mini-game that provides a enjoyable respite from the main game as you take a ride on a dragon with Donkey or indulge in a singalong with Fiona.Although the graphics are impressive (much more so than the sound, which doesnt feature the original movie cast), the main gameplay can get a bit monotonous. But forShrekfans and general young 'uns theres more to enjoy here than with most film licenses. --David Jenkins

I love this movie! It is not just a kiddie movie, but great for adults as well. Sherk 2 has terrific writing, an all star cast and is extremely funny and entertaining, even my husband liked this movie and he is not a movie buff. Rupert Everett is one of my favorite actors so it was nice to hear his voice as the wicked prince charming. Mike Myers is a comic genius and the supporting cast is terrific. The whole family can enjoy this movie, but I would not reccomend it to very young children because of some of the jokes and subject matter. Shrek 2 is definitley going in my movie library
The movie Shrek 2 is an overall descent film. Although the voice acting of the main characters are extremely annoying. The comedy features of the film offers a lot of laughs, some of which parents may or may not find suitable for children. The digital graphics of the film were outstanding and well placed, the midevil theme was a bit rusty, but the different fairy tale characters made the adventure fun and enjoyable. Overall Shrek 2 is a great movie for when you have time on your hands.
When sequals first started to be made, they were never as good as the original. Now they are usually better than the first. This is no exception. I love the second movie better that the first. In the first Shrek movie they are
establishing who the characters are and how they met. In Shrek 2 they have fun with the characters and show how they relate to each other in an uncomfortable situation. There is a lot more action and fun in this sequal.
Twice as funny as the first! comedy fan, into movies that tell a great story, movie buff, Movie guru, a storyteller
The second of three (so far) movies about an ogre, a donkey, a princess, and a bunch of misfit fairy tale
characters, Shrek 2 delivers more laughs than the first movie.
This movie delivered more laughs, had a great story, hilarious characters, and a top-tapping soundtrack (except for a
few less than "heroic" songs).
A must for family movie night!
No gratuitous sex scenes, violence, or foul language.
The film Shrek 2 is an outstanding movie into action flicks
Advantages: Just as funny as the First, Easy to follow story Disadvantages: Not really for small children, although they will laugh.
...good, if not better.
Shrek continues to be the Loveable Ogre that we know and love, but becomes frustrated at the prospect of meeting his In-Laws. 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. ... ...first, but when nothing happens Shrek drinks the rest, and hopes for the best.
The next morning with appearances changed they all set off to find Fiona. Fiona has been tricked into thinking that Prince Charming is Shrek. Prince Charming is the Son of the Fairy Godmother who makes all the potions in the Land. The Fairy Godmother traps Shrek and gets him put in Jail. This is where his friends from the Swamp come to the rescue.
After this it is a ...

DVD Description
In this meet-the-parents sequel to the romantic fairy tale in which two ogres fall in love, SHREK 2 brings the loveable green menace (voiced by Mike Meyers) back to the big screen for a second round of mischief. This time around, in addition to the voices of Cameron Diaz (as Shrek's sweetheart Fiona) and Eddie Murphy (as their companion Donkey), Julie Andrews and John Cleese chime in as Fiona's parents, Queen Lillian and King Harold. Surprising newcomer Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas)--a slyly funny tabby honed for swashbuckling adventure--joins the crew. Last but certainly not least, the conniving duo of vain Prince Charming (Rupert Everett) and his power-hungry mom, the Fairy Godmother (Jennifer Saunders), spice up the action. When Fiona insists that her new husband Shrek visit her parents, they travel to Far Far Away (a Disneyfied medieval version of Hollywood) where everything goes wrong. The King and Queen are outraged to see their daughter married to an ogre, and while Fiona tries to calm them, Shrek sets out to find a solution. He finds it, in the form of a Happily Ever After potion, which only complicates matters, drawing all parties into a confused exchange of magic and spells, all for the sake of true love. With shimmering Pixar animation giving SHREK 2 near-3-D visuals, the witty scripting and eclectic pop music soundtrack keep the film hopping along with an upbeat pace. "Holding Out for a Hero" by Frou Frou, and "Livin' la Vida Loca" by Eddie Murphy are the most raucous of the film's many great songs, though more subtle numbers such as "Accidentally in Love" by Counting Crows, and "Little Drop of Poison" by Tom Waits certainly enrich some key scenes of this enjoyable family film.
