I find that sometime sequals are not as good as the originals, but in this case it was equally as 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. This is where Puss In Boots enters the story. Shrek decides to get a magic potion to make him SEXY!!. Donkey gets to test the potion 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 race to the end so that Shrek can find Fiona before she kisses Prince Charming. More potions involved here.
Anyway to cut a long story short, this film has some very funny scenes, with some very catchy music, and of course a Happily Ever After Ending. You don't have to have seen the First film to enjoy this, but it helps to know who the characters are. There are of course some great New characters in this one. Hope I havn't given too much of the story away.
Animation is superb as you would expect. With a great cast. You will probably recognise most of the names.
A great Family film which you can enjoy again and again. The bonus features are O.K. A few games, quiz's and a special appearance by Simon Cowell. I just love the film on it's own.
Advantages: Fairytale Animation for both children and adults,humourous and largely entertaining Disadvantages: like all sequels,It is best to watch the first film previously
Following the popular animation 'Shrek',Dreamworks have produced this Fun,Humorous and Great family Sequel 'Shrek2' Which is as equally entertaining and adventurous as the first film,If not more!Suitable for both children and adults this Film is a mix of classic and modern fairytale stories,surroundings and characters, and has both child and adult humour which is of course appropriate for young children.This Film is of course a must see If you have ...

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.
