This woman is hysterical. She plays Edina Moonson on Absolutely Fabulous. I went to the IMDB {Internet Movie Database} and it has her listed as singing "Holding Out for a Hero" and "Fairy Godmother Song" in this movie. {I have not seen it as of yet....waiting for one of the kids nieces and nephews to be around}

There were way more adults than kids at the movie I went to and like I said, the little ones won't get most of the humor. Sooooo...don't wait for the kids, just go and enjoy!! Then when the kids come you will have an excuse to see it again!! LOL

I love it when they make movies that appeal to both young children, teens and adults alike. We had a great time with our 4 year old, 8 year old, 11 year old and 12 year old. And, yes Urgrace, go without kids...there were lots of others there without kids. It appeals to all ages and a lot of the humor was missed on the kids. I'd like to see it again to catch some of the things I know I missed. It had a slow start but the pace sure picked up and the ending was fantastic. Also, the short part with the donkey and dragon after the credits....hilarious! This is a fun movie for all ages!

Oh yes, make sure you stay for 1/2 the ending credits! I can't believe how many people get up and leave and miss one of the funniest scenes! Also, I think any animated film is fair game for an adult to see alone (except for Clifford or Rug Rats, etc) as they are an art form.

I was just coming to tell everyone to stay for the credits. A very funny movie!! I liked the first one better but this was very good and entertaining. Pamy...you remind me of Fiona with your hair color.

We saw Shrek 2 last night and both of us absolutely loved it. I don’t care about press buzz whether this is “the movie to beat this summer” (good grief, must everything come down to box office take?). What matters is this film is a gorgeously animated, enjoyably voiced, lol comedy with a surprisingly sentimental heart hidden behind its outrageous humor. Just as with the original, the ending is utterly predictable but the ride is so much fun that it doesn’t matter. A couple of the musical numbers were a little creaky but that’s about the film’s only weakness. I had no idea what the plot was going in and don’t want to ruin it for anyone else so I’ll make just a couple general remarks. Puss in Boots is as hilarious as everyone said he was (those eyes! those fight scenes! those purrs!) and Donkey once again steals the show (I especially loved how he flicked, twitched, folded, etc. his ears – they were practically a character in themselves). The extra scene runs right after the initial credits and it’s well worth the short wait (says me, who always stays for all the credits no matter what). Trailers: Garfield (*hack*); The Incredibles; Shark Tale; Two Brothers; and The Terminal.

Just got back from taking my 3-year-old to see this, and we both loved it! The animation was fabulous! At times I was distracted from the plot by the stunning visuals: a clear stream running over rocks, the look of Donkey's wet coat in the rain. Incredible! And pay attention to the small details such as store names, shopping bags, etc. This is the kind of movie you can watch over again and catch things you missed the first time. My son, who has watched the video of Shrek dozens of times and has been anxiously awaiting this one, was a little concerned about Shrek during the part where . . . shall I say, his appearance gets changed somewhat (don't want to spoil too much for those who haven't yet seen it!)? He kept saying, "What happened to Shrek?" He wants his green guy GREEN, just like the Princess. Don't leave before the credits, either! I read in a review that something would happen, so we stayed. And Antonio Banderas is the sexiest kitty I've ever seen! He stole the show!

I have yet to see the movie. I just have to comment on the product hype though. I went to the grocery store with my 4 year old daughter. We now have Shrek waffle sticks (with green syrup),Shrek popcorn (yep,it's green) Shrek fruit snacks.....on and on and on. I go to open my mail and the stamp from the post office has a picture of,yes you guessed it,Shrek and Donkey!!!!!!! Good Lord!

I saw this last night. Very very very funny. Laugh-out-loud-even-if-you're-sorta-reserved-like-me funny. There were so many pop culture references, jokes, gags and funny one-liners that you almost have to see it twice to get it all. It was so fast-paced. The theater here in Vancouver was packed for a 7:30 showing, and I'd say it was 99% adults. Everyone seemed to really enjoy it. And any movie with a Sanford and Son reference (albeit brief) is a winner with me!

Hippyt, my son (who is so picky he eats NOTHING--or next to it anyway) is begging me to buy Shrek cereal, cause he saw it on TV. I don't think he'd eat it if I brought it home, but he wants it! Tell me commercials aren't geared to little ones!

I saw this today and thought it was great! I'll be glad to see it again on DVD so I can see all the little things I'm sure I missed I think my favorite part was watching the donkey get so excited about turning into the horse - hilarious!

I wanted to chime in here. I saw this movie with the niece and nephews... hilarious (of course they didn't laugh as much as the adults). I loved the first one, but this one was much better to me. Puss N Boots and those eyes... rofl. Great movie.

http://canoe.ca/JamMovies/jun2_shrek3-can.html 'Shrek 3' in the works By JAM! Movies With the boatloads of money "Shrek 2" has pulled in since its release, it should come as no surprise that "Shrek 3" is already in the works. Variety reports that a third instalment of the animated hit is being targeted for Christmas 2006, with Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz and Mike Myers expected to lend their voices once again. The plot will centre on Shrek contending with King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. "Shrek 2" has made $257 million at the box office since opening May 19.
