I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View MoreWhat a beautiful movie!
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
View MoreThere's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
View MoreI may be biased here as i cannot stand Simon Cowell or his show, but I felt that "Shrek" really did not need this short film. Basically, all the characters from the movie get to see one song and Cowell comments on it as negatively as he always does. This 7-minute short film came out after the second Shrek film and adds really nothing. It's only worth a watch if you really love the franchise. The only good thing I can say about it is that all the actors from the films could actually be convinced to sing in this one and the version of Livin' La Vida Loca was fun as well early on. But that's really it. Director Simon J. Smith already did "Shrek 4-D" a year before and that was equally disappointing. And he directed "Penguins of Madagascar" very recently. I cannot comment on the quality of that one, but I am glad he did not direct a full feature Shrek movie. This American Idol spoof from over 10 years ago I cannot recommend.
View MoreI thought both of the Shrek movies were great!! The subtle comments made both movies equally amazing. I was very pleased that Skrek 2 held up not only the original voices but the quality of the comedy as well. I love having them as part of my movie collection! Some people may mock it because it's animated, but they knew that when it started so they don't have much room to talk. Out of all my friends and family members (which varies from loggers to preps) there was only two people who would have rather watched something else. I also thought that the extras were not just cute, but adorable! (I wish they would have had more!)
View MoreOver all I quite enjoyed this movie. Better than the first one. I look forward to the third one myself. It was a well told story the voice performances were great the story line was funny the plot was interesting. It is a great movie for the whole family. If you haven't seen it yet rent it buy it either way you and your family will enjoy it. As for Far Far Away Idol I thought it to be a brilliant and funny addition to the film. The songs they chose were classic and fit the idea. My absolute favorite performance was done by Puss in Boots doing the song These Boots were Made for Walking. Hilarious couldn't have been funnier. Shrek and Fiona's performance was touching as well as hysterical. I have high hopes that the third movie can equal the wittiness of this film and the first. Over all rating 8/10!
View MoreThis add-on is certainly worth the few minutes it takes to watch. Each of the characters sings an appropriate song - Charming sings "I'm Too Sexy", Pinocchio sings "Mr. Roboto", and so forth. It's mostly an amusing few minutes. Here's the good and bad: Good: Antonio Banderas can sing, and Puss was the best part of the movie anyway. Donkey's "Disco Inferno" was funny - not as good as the "little mutant babies!" line during the regular credits, but funny nonetheless.Bad: Simon wasn't that funny. The only line that was remotely amusing was "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince...Charming". The other lines weren't funny, and they were delivered in an amateurish way.And the DVD doesn't make seeing all the endings easy. To choose a different character as the winner and see their ending, you have to watch the whole thing again. As far as I know, there are only 4 endings: Shrek/Fiona, Puss, and Donkey can win. Anyone else, and a singing double comes on as Simon declares himself the winner and belts out "My Way".Not bad. Certainly fun enough to amuse us as we watch.
