Shrek 2 is another sequel that does not compare to the original but it does stand alone as a movie of good laughs and lots of fun. In this movie, newlyweds Shrek and Fiona are invited to spend some time with Fiona’s family. Chaos ensues when Fiona’s family realizes that she has turned into a female ogre. The one thing that was really shocking to me was that this movie had many gay/homosexual references that I felt were not appropriate for a children’s movie. Aside from the inappropriate context (which I am sure most children would not be able to pick up on) there were many pop culture and Los Angeles based references. The part I liked most about the movie was Puss and Boots, voiced by Antonio Banderas. Puss is a likeable character that cannot resist making friends with Shrek and Donkey. Bottom Line: A comedy for adults and children alike.

Best Scene: Anytime Puss puts on his sad kitten face (meaning he is ready to pounce someone).

Rated PG for some crude humor, a brief substance reference and some suggestive content.
Running Time: 1 hour 32 minutes
