Movie
description |
In
this
meet-the-parents
sequel
to
the
romantic
fairy
tale
in
which
two
ogres
fall
in
love,
SHREK
2
brings
the
loveable
green
menace
(voiced
by
Mike
Meyers)
back
to
the
big
screen
for
a
second
round
of
mischief.
This
time
around,
in
addition
to
the
voices
of
Cameron
Diaz
(as
Shrek's
sweetheart
Fiona)
and
Eddie
Murphy
(as
their
companion
Donkey),
Julie
Andrews
and
John
Cleese
chime
in
as
Fiona's
parents,
Queen
Lillian
and
King
Harold.
Surprising
newcomer
Puss
in
Boots
(Antonio
Banderas)--a
slyly
funny
tabby
honed
for
swashbuckling
adventure--joins
the
crew.
Last
but
certainly
not
least,
the
conniving
duo
of
vain
Prince
Charming
(Rupert
Everett)
and
his
power-hungry
mom,
the
Fairy
Godmother
(Jennifer
Saunders),
spice
up
the
action.
When
Fiona
insists
that
her
new
husband
Shrek
visit
her
parents,
they
travel
to
Far
Far
Away
(a
Disneyfied
medieval
version
of
Hollywood)
where
everything
goes
wrong.
The
King
and
Queen
are
outraged
to
see
their
daughter
married
to
an
ogre,
and
while
Fiona
tries
to
calm
them,
Shrek
sets
out
to
find
a
solution.
He
finds
it,
in
the
form
of a
Happily
Ever
After
potion,
which
only
complicates
matters,
drawing
all
parties
into
a
confused
exchange
of
magic
and
spells,
all
for
the
sake
of
true
love.
With
shimmering
animation
giving
SHREK
2
near-3-D
visuals,
the
witty
scripting
and
eclectic
pop
music
soundtrack
keep
the
film
hopping
along
with
an
upbeat
pace.
"Holding
Out
for
a
Hero"
by
Frou
Frou,
and
"Livin'
la
Vida
Loca"
by
Eddie
Murphy
are
the
most
raucous
of
the
film's
many
great
songs,
though
more
subtle
numbers
such
as
"Accidentally
in
Love"
by
Counting
Crows,
and
"Little
Drop
of
Poison"
by
Tom
Waits
certainly
enrich
some
key
scenes
of
this
enjoyable
family
film..
