Product Description

Synopsis

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shrek 2, 18 Oct 2004
This film will have children of all ages and adults laughing.
Set just after the wedding of shrek and fiona, the happy couple are invited to vist fiona's parents.
A story of magic,romance and deception as Shrek has to save his bride from the clutches of Prince Charming follows.
With a star studded cast which includes or very own John Cleese and Jennifer Saunders make this a guaranteed hit at any time of the year, but if you buy it you will be watching it on xmas day!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Shrek reloaded!, 27 Nov 2004
By N. Williams "the_shakermaker" (Hull) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
There is clearly something very wrong with me. I seem to be the only person on this planet who didn't think that Shrek 2 was 'oh my god, like, the best film ever'. Did no one else find the film to be a little stagnant when compared to the truly brilliant original.
Case for the prosecution: The movie is almost exactly the same in terms of plot with Shrek trying to get over the barriers of being an ogre in order to maintain his romance with Fiona. A lot of the jokes revolve around movie puns (spider-man and ghostbusters for example), all well and good but something of a lack of originality. The same could also be said of the character humour, still, if it ain't broke then don't fix it.
Case for the defence: Puss-in-Boots! He's awesome and in my humble opinion, totally carried the middle of the movie. Also, whatever else can be said about the movie, it is funny. I found myself laughing or smiling on several occaisions, and because this is a CG feature film it will please the kids on that basis alone (come on, they're guaranteed box office gold!).
Essentially this is just much more of the same, and for the moment its still good enough to raise a lot of laughs but with most of those coming from a new character i couldn't help but feel that this was a very unnecessary sequel which was simply leeching off the success of the first.
At the end of the day if you have kids, they'll love it, and to be honest so will you. Just don't expect the magic or the inspiration of the first all over again. This neat little package should keep all shrek fans happy until the sadly inevitable Shrek 3,4,5...

5.0 out of 5 stars Shrek and Donkey on another whirlwind adventure!, 1 Jan 2005
By Joanne K. Pilsworth (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Absolutely brilliant. One of those movies you can watch over and over again, and still find more jokes, more 'hidden' references to other movies (including Blazing Saddles). My son loves it, my husband loves it, I love it, and I have just bought it for my sister's Christmas present.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's Quite Nice, but Pales in Comparison with the Original
I loved the orignal Shrek so much that this film was a must buy. However, while it is still quite fun it simply cannot live up to its predecessor. Read more
