I first saw this movie with some friends from work. This film is jam-packed with hidden tongue-in-cheek jokes and visual humor - there is so much detail. This film is a delight for young children to the senior set and everyone in between. Eddie Murphy is back as the lovable Donkey - he is perfect in this role and personally, I think he (Donkey) should have his own spin-off movie. This one character is a movie unto himself. Joining the crew from the original Shrek installment are Julie Andrews (Fiona's mother), John Cleese (her father), Antonio Banderas (Puss-n-Boots) and Jennifer Saunders (the naughty Fairy Godmother). The clever ways in which the screenwriters twisted the fairytale characters while still giving them reverence and respect is enough to make you cry from laughing so hard. There are inferences to movies such as "Flashdance" and "Mission Impossible" and many others. Pinnocchio is no doubt a wooden embodiment of Michael Jackson (high-pitched voice, good dancer, longs to be a little boy, etc.) and there are many inferences to famous people... there is even a helicopter view of police chasing a white bronco! There were very few moments in this film in which I was not laughing outloud or doubled-over - and in those few instances, it was to catch my breath. This film is an instant classic that is safe to show to your kids and grandkids from now until generations to come. On top of the fantastic animation and lovable characters, the underlying story is an awesome theme to teach to children: it's not how you look or how other people treat you that matters - it's the content of your character and how much you love others. A SOLID MOVIE To add to your DVD collection!!Read full review
I’ve always loved shrek since I watched the first film before this one. I never had it on dvd as I started out with the vhs version. And I like how it shows us, that if you really love someone, you can’t be too ashamed to change for them, and it’s beautiful. But unfortunately, the Spanish dub cannot be accessed in far far away idol as it was included I Only on vhs, but the dvd is all worth it anyway. And I did like seeing the special features and trailers in it too.

The cd plays and that’s what is important here ❤️ As for the plotline, I have been an avid Shrek fan and Shrek 2 is my absolute favourite. The soundtrack is amazing and the story is astounding. I highly recommend. And for the price? An easy buy!

This is a really nice movie, My little girl is a big Shrek fan. I enjoy watching the Shrek movies with her, the grown up sense of humor keeps me in the movie and she loves the crazy charaters. If you want to watch a movie that will keep you in tears this one is sure to please.

Our grumpy hero Shrek, voiced by Mike Myers, is married to his ogress-bride Fiona (Cameron Diaz) and the loquacious donkey (Eddie Murphy) is still making himself a nuisance. Shrek has to visit his uptight parents-in-law, voiced by Julie Andrews and John Cleese, which necessitates a trip to Fiona's hometown of Far, Far Away, which turns out to be an LA-style paradise of palm trees and stretch fairy carriages. Jennifer Saunders plays a fairy godmother who's up to no good. Perhaps this sequel no longer has the shock of the new, but the animation is stupendous, with breathtaking effects of light and detail, the gags come thick and fast and the musical numbers are uproarious.
