= ** Shrek film review ** "Shrek" is a hilarious comedy rated PG that entertains both children and adults alike. The whole movie comes alive with main actors in creditable Mike Myers who plays Shrek, Eddie Murphy who plays donkey and Cameron Diaz who plays Princess Fiona who were chosen skilfully by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson.

The film centres around our hero, Shrek, who is an ugly, smelly, ogre who starts off as a selfish, lonely, grumpy, beast, but who ends up winning our hearts with his adorable nature. Lord Farquaad is determined to rid the world of fairy tale creatures which forces them onto Shrek’s swamp. As you can imagine Shrek isn’t too pleased about this and decides to confront Lord Farquaad. A talking donkey (who never stops talking) takes a shine to Shrek and won’t leave his side. This unlikely pair make their way to the castle to confront Farquaad. Not long after, Shrek get involved in a tournament to rescue a beautiful princess. Sounds familiar? Turns out she isn’t your typically gorgeous princess...

The beautiful done animations are extremely relatable with Donkey being so easy going and hilarious. Shrek is also very funny but he is more serious then Donkey but his kind and lovable nature really starts to show towards the end. Princess Fiona is very kind and understanding, she looks like a girly-girl but can really kick ass!

What really made this film for me was the stunning special effects that created a magical world everyone would love to live in and the soundtrack that gets you dancing in your seat. The complexity of the animation gives the illusion that you are a part of an incredible and fantastical world full of unusual fairy tale characters. There is a laugh every minute (mainly caused by the hilarious donkey) but the humour doesn’t take away the emotional pull of the story.

Do yourself a favour and take your family to see this beautiful film that I’m sure will change your attitude to ogres forever. I give this film 5 stars J
