Shrek 2
It really is as good as everybody's saying it is.
Too many pop culture references to count. Thankfully, no Matrix ones this time around, or at least none that I can remember. Maybe I just suppressed them.
Of course, most of the humor flies right over the heads of the kids who make up the vast majority of this movie's target audience. Sort of like "Rebel L" flew over the heads of the youngest Sesame Street viewers back in 1990.
Judging from the fact that most of the time I was the only one in the theater laughing, most of the humor flew right over the heads of the grown-ups, too. (Or maybe they were too annoyed at having their kids drag them to the movies to laugh.)
Not only is it consistently funny and engaging, it's also a well-timed satire on the whole "Extreme Makeover" phenomenon.
