Editor's Note 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, 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. 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. This double feature presents SHREK 2 and its companion adventure, SHREK 3-D.

[2] Call me twisted, but it's hard not to feel crazy love for an animated movie that pictures Cinderella's stepsister as an aging gorgon who tends bar in a dump called the Poison Apple, offers tips on where to find a hit man and talks in a voice of pure Larry King gravel (King himself did the vocals). In Shrek 2, our hero--a newlywed ogre with a persistent flatulence problem--is in jeopardy from a king who wants him dead, a psycho fairy godmother and a wife who thinks he needs an extreme makeover. Shrek 2 brims with perverse pleasures that show no respect for the rules of kiddie-cartoon form, which is all to the good. - Peter Travers

[2] Rare is the movie that works on as many levels as Shrek did. Rarer still is the sequel that outshines the original. On a four-star rating system, Shrek 2 gets a five. It's even more clever than the first Shrek, with even more advanced animation, and a larger cast that is equal to the original...The depiction of Far, Far Away is worth several viewings in and of itself. Watch the people on the sidewalks and the squeegee pages. Check out the store names. The detail is phenomenal...As with the original, Shrek 2 is a movie that requires multiple viewings to catch all the jokes and pop-culture references...In some ways, the humor seems so oriented to grownups that one wonders if children will enjoy the movie. But if the preview screening, which found viewers enduring more security checkpoints than in an airport, is any indication, the kiddies will love it, too. And you know how kids want to watch movies over and over - this is one adults can enjoy multiple times as well. - Sarah Chauncey
