About Shrek 2

Happily ever after never seemed so far far away when a trip to meet the in-laws turns into a hilariously twisted adventure for Shrek and Fiona. With the help of his faithful Donkey, Shrek takes on a potion-brewing Fairy Godmother, the pompous Prince Charming, and the ogre-killer, Puss In Boots.

Our take on Shrek 2

Andrew Adamson's 2004 animated comedy sends Shrek and Fiona off to meet her royal parents, turning a simple visit into a tangled misadventure once the kingdom of Far Far Away balks at an ogre in the family. With loyal Donkey in tow, Shrek must contend with a scheming Fairy Godmother, the preening Prince Charming, and a pint-sized ogre-hunter named Puss in Boots. The film keeps the fractured-fairytale humor and pop-culture winks sharp while deepening the romance's insecurities. Colorful, fast, and genuinely funny for kids and adults on different frequencies, it's ideal family viewing for anyone who liked the first film and wants more heart alongside the jokes.
