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...
more...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.

Shrek and Donkey are back again, funnier and greener than ever! Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy, Antonio Banderas, Jennifer Saunders, John Cleese and Julie Andrews all packed into one!
Shrek, Fiona and not to forget Donkey are invitated to get blessed by the king and queen of Far, Far Away - Fiona's Parents. But little does the King and Queen know that there little girl has grown up - to be well..... a lot greener!
So they set off in there giant onion carriage to the land of red carpets, WISHING THEY LEFT DONKEY BEHIND! Why? Well, lets just say "ARE WE THERE YET?".
Fiona's dad has trouble getting to terms that her little princess is married to an ogre, so he even goes far enough to hire a hitman to get fid of Shrek FOREVER.
Lucky for Shrek the hitman is a bit of a pussy! But atleast they made another friend.
So Shrek wants to be a better husband so he drinks a "hapily ever after" potion after sneaking into Fairy God Mothers factory. So Shrek turns handsome, Fiona turns back to the princess she was before and Donkey (who tasted the potion for shreks safety) turns into a beautiful white stallion.
But it turns out its not what Fiona really wants!!
And Donkey gets a big shock at the end of the film, but you'll have to find that out for yourself!
