Shrek

THE GREATEST FAIRY TALE NEVER TOLD.

It ain't easy bein' green -- especially if you're a likable (albeit smelly) ogre named Shrek. On a mission to retrieve a gorgeous princess from the clutches of a fire-breathing dragon, Shrek teams up with an unlikely compatriot -- a wisecracking donkey.

    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.

    A fun, light-hearted movie that's perfect for a weekend watch. Not too deep, but enjoyable.

    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.
