Movie Review: Shrek 2

Movie Title: Shrek 2. Animation with music. Rated PG. It might be rated PG because a few things said in the movie aren't appropriate for very young kids. Plus, the bartender in Shrek 2 is a man in drag. I'm not too keen on sequels because if the first movie was good it's hard to compete with it. Shek 2 isn't as good as the first but it's a fun film none-the-less. In this movie Shrek and Fiona are married. With Donkey (voice of Eddie Murphy) in tow they go meet Fiona's royal parents. Fiona's father is not happy his daughter is still an ogre. And he's certainly not happy she's married to an ogre. Fiona wants Shrek to get along with her father but he doesn't want to. This makes Fiona unhappy. To make things right Shrek seeks the help of Fiona's fairy godmother. But she won't help him. This is because Prince Charming is her son. The Prince still hopes to be king someday. Shrek steals a happiness potion from the fairy. He drinks it and becomes human. He must kiss Fiona by midnight to make things right. Eddie Murphy does a great job again as the annoying Donkey in Shrek 2.
