Snider 4/4 "This isn’t just a fractured fairy tale, it’s a storybook vision in a mushroom cloud of imagination and fun."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress A "Not coincidentally, most of the really good stuff here will go over young kids' heads."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 3.5/5 "Kids will love the plot, parents will love the jokes."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. A- "Smart, sassy and chockablock with witty references to pop culture past and present."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "A creative lark from start to finish."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3.5/4 "Shrek is not a guilty pleasure for sophisticated movie-goers; it is, purely and simply, a pleasure."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/4 "A delightfully irreverent fairy tale."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 3.5/4 "This isn't your grandmother's animated movie."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 8/10 "A movie that adults will easily enjoy every bit as much as the kids, maybe even more so."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen "An effort that deserves to be lumped in with the modern day classics of animation."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 8/10 "Chalk this sucker up with Toy Story 2 and Chicken Run in the 'fun for the whole family' category."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 8/10 "Nothing in the world of fairy-tale cartoons appears to have been sacred."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 3/4 " Shrek is amusing and charming and it stands on it's own, but it does not rival Disney's best and I'm not saying it needs to, but that simply is the bar."   Bangitout.com   Jordan Hiller 3.5/4 "La más jocosa, mágica y deslumbrante experiencia fílmica del año"   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 5/5 "A visually stunning animation masterpiece - Shrek is one heck of a movie."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 4.5 "The animation? Superb, stunning, gorgeous, Pixar-quality, fantastic, wow, man...I myself am totally surprised at how much I laughed - both times I saw it!"   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3.5/4 "Sure, there's fun in the premise of a self-conscious fairy tale, mixing adventure and satire, but the film really got me when it eased up a bit on the cynicism and proved to have a big heart after all."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B+ "The script's details are gleefully impish, constantly poking fun at Disney"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3.5/4 "Has a diabolical sense of humor and a really big heart."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "This is fairy tale deconstruction the whole family will get a kick out of."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson "A smart and often hilarious reworking of the fairy tale."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 4/5 "There is really something for everyone in this movie."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W.

Bless its twisted little heart."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux 3.5/4 ""Shrek" is more than just a dazzling technical achievement in digital animation, it is a witty, clever, charming romantic comedy about heroism, love and friendship."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten "There are so many in-jokes and general mirth in “Shrek,” you need to view it more than once for the full effect."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 10/10 "Mother Goose meets Mad Magazine in easily one of the year's most entertaining movies."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg B+ "Sort of like The Princess Bride, if André the Giant had been the hero, and had worn Lou Ferrigno body paint."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D.
