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 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.

Top Reviews Review created: 09/08/06 by: 6 of 9 people found this review helpful. Just like the first movie, Shrek 2 will be fun for the entire family. This movie picks up where the first left off, and Shrek goes to meet the inlaws. I love these films for the subtle adult humor that allows parents to enjoy the movies right along with their kids. You'll be laughing at the jokes and your kids will want to know what was so funny! I loved Puss in Boots, but then again I'm a softy for cats! Great movie.

My two sons wore our last Shrek 2 DVD right out..by watching it til it died! I love this movie as well. It allows adults to watch by giving it adult style themes..but with something that kids can enjoy also.. Review ID: 10000000001980628 Was this review helpful? Report this review Reviews This is a great movie to watch with your kids of any age, or if you just want to have some laughs. This movie is funny, and if you watch it with your kids, the age limit is no problem as it is rated PG. So many funny parts, i would say it is a must see, espeically if you liked the first one.
