On the way home from work today we stopped off and saw Shrek 2. I had low expectations for this movie even though word of mouth was good. During the first 15 minutes I was not impressed, but once the new story was set up, the movie picked up and was excellent. To be truthful, there are a lot more pop culture current events references, but they worked well. Mike Meyers was okay, Cameron Diaz nothing spectacular and to be honest tho Eddie Murphy was good as “Donkey” he was as annoying as Jar Jar Binks in Star Wars Episode I. This is more evident in Shrek 2 because a new character, Puss In Boots played by Antonio Banderas stole the movie. He was amazingly funny.

As most of you know of my love for Absolutely Fabulous would expect, I adored Jennifer Saunders (Eddie) as the Fairy Godmother. She was a riot and who knew she could sing?

I recommend this move for sure. It gets 4 stars out of 5 only because of the slow beginning.
