Shrek 2

Ah, another Willy Wanka poser. This time, I shall call them "Shoompa-loompas." To reiterate Balch's statement: "Willy Wanka didn't invent midgets" and my continuation: "he just perfected them." (I hate to quote myself, but I found it necissary.) The Fairy Godmother, who I refuse to believe is not the kindest of persons, uses the Shoompa-loompas in her potion factory.

Ok, that was about the only relation of Shrek 2 to the great and immortal W.W. But this movie has its own good qualities. Such as

K-Wality Kast: Ok, so it was just their voices, but still. And now, in case you've been living under a rock, the cast - Mike Myers (Shrek), Eddie Murphy (Donkey), Antonio Banderas (Puss In Boots), Cameran Diaz (Fiona), John Cleese (The King), + other ansilary characters.

K-inda Funny Jokes: As funny as Donkey and Shrek were in the first movie, Puss In Boots stole the show this time around. Antonio Bandaras - not funny. Antonio Bandaras playing a spanish-attack cat - hilarious! And the Dronkeys! If you've seen the first one, I think you know how these came about. And don't forget about the Gingerbread Man! Yes, he makes his triumphant return with his coined catchy catch phrase, [high pitched voice] "Not the gumdrop button!"

K-razy Plot: Ok, Shrek <3 Fiona. Shrek thinks Fiona =/= <3 Ogreness. Shrek drinks potion. Shrek and Fiona now = humans =/= ogres. Crazy Fairy Godmother inserts Prince Charming into the mix. (Yes that's his name, hes not a charming prince, he is Prince Charming.) Yada Yada skip some parts, Shrek and Fiona = ogres again and they live happily ever after.

K-rappy Parts: As stated earlier, Puss stole the show. Donkey was not nearly as funny as S1 and Shrek was just sorta there so they could call the movie "Shrek 2." It should have been called Puss and Donkey's Amazing Adventure to Far Far Away You remember how in Shrek 1, it ended with a great musical number? Well they attempt to do the same in this movie. Only its shorter, involves less characters, and the song is "Livin La Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin. The only good part of the finale song was Pinnochio's M.J. impression. And no, that's not Michael Jordan.

The Vertict: I give this movie a Hot chick at the beach, even if you don't want to go see it (and why wouldnt you? Are you gay?), go see it. Your mind will thank you, your body will thank you, even your girlfriend will thank you (ok maybe not for the beach part, but the movie)

And now, to satisfy the masses:
Book of The Wise Pohl, Chapter 11, Verse 911
"Even if you are on the right track you'll get run over if you just sit there!"

- Wait, what's this? A second reading? I think so:

Book of The Wise Pohl, Chapter 11, Verse 914
"It's always been and always will be the same in the world: The horse does the work and the coachman is tipped."
