Shrek (2001)
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.

As Good As It Gets
Absolutely the worst movie.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Lot's of memes to love. Lot's of layers of onions. Perfect like a small dog.
I don't think humanity will ever create something that surpasses Shrek.
Shrek (2001) is a fantastic, awesome, excellent and amazing movie. I love the writing of the movie. I adored and love this movie. I love the characters, the pop culture songs, the computer animation, the scenes and the comedy. This movie has great voice acting, hilarious pop culture references, an outstanding music score. I love the settings and character relationships with Shrek, Donkey and Princess Fiona which is believable and convincing. I love the main characters Shrek, Donkey and Princess Fiona. Lord Farquad makes a great, hilarious villian but not really much to do. I loved Fairy Tale characters such as Gingy, Pinocchio, The Three Little Pigs, The Big Bad Wolf, and The Three Blind Mice but not a lot of screen time. Dragon was a fantastic character. And overall Shrek is a classic. 10/10.
I did not get to see this in theaters though my family got the movie on DVD that fall and it was one of my first DVD movies. The cast was excellent, especially John Lithgow and Mike Myers and the visuals were stunning. Many parts of the movie were spoofs of old films and there were many laughs to be heard. Cameron Diaz as the princess was good too, though she's hardly a damsel in distress. Which works nicely considering her abilities (which I won't say here). Some good songs and even a cameo by Disney cartoon veteran Jim Cummings. The CGI was good and very meticulously done. It could give Toy Story some good competition. The sequels were decent, but I prefer the first one. There's even music by Smash Mouth and many fairy tale creatures and characters. Bottom line: if you're tired of usual and cliched fairy tales and want a strong female lead, this is your movie. See it!
