Shrek 2

In the land of Far Far Away, Shrek (voice by Mike Myers), Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz), and Donkey (Eddie Murphy) journey together to meet Fiona’s parents. Shrek, being an ogre, wonders whether his new in-laws will accept him into the family. After a long trip through enchanted forests and white mountains, the three friends arrive in the kingdom of Fiona’s father, King Herald (John Cleese). All of the subjects have assembled, but the royal dinner reception turns to chaos as Shrek and his father-in-law clash over Fiona’s future. A fairy godmother (Jennifer Saunders) takes advantage of the situation by convincing the king to hire an assassin cat (Antonio Banderas) to take care of Shrek. She hopes that if Shrek is gone, her own son, Prince Charming (Rupert Everett), will marry Princess Fiona and inherit the kingdom.

Dove Review

“Shrek 2” looks great, with cutting-edge computer animation, even better than the first one. This film has some great themes, including Shrek abandoning his swamp for Fiona’s happiness, and Fiona’s love for Shrek regardless of his appearance. Donkey also remains a loyal friend to Shrek. In addition, we have a new interesting character, Puss in Boots, played by Antonio Banderas.

The film does include some mild, crude language and due to this plus a few fights, we recommend the film for ages twelve and above.
