"Shrek" is about a big ugly ogre who doesn't want to be thought of as just a big ugly ogre, he has layers. As does this movie.

"Shrek" is Dreamworks major move against the animation folks over at Disney. Jeffrey Katzenberg who was shown the door at Disney and helped create Dreamworks know his Disney animated movies and takes shots at them left and right.

There is a lot of fun and at Disneys expense and most of it your kids won't understand and that is what makes it such a good film. It works on many levels, it plays great to the kids and has enough adult humor for the parents.

The soundtrack is wonderful and the voice work by Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy gives the movie a kick, not to mention Cameron Diaz and John Lithgow as well.

"Shrek" is a whole lot of fun and is worth seeing numerous times, just like my kids want to.
